Methods of Fixing Foundation Problems

How can you fix your foundation problems? Groundworks offers two main methods of fixing foundation concerns, with a variety of options that can help you permanently. 

Foundation Repair and Reinforcement

Whether you have a basement or not, there may be times where your foundation itself has sinking or settling concerns. In this situation, you may need to boost the foundation from underneath. Your local foundation repair professionals provide multiple fixes to help you boost the actual foundation itself. 

Wall Repair and Reinforcement

The second method of foundation repairs is wall repair and reinforcement. Specifically, this comes into play when you have a basement that’s having foundation concerns. That can often turn into bowed basement walls, which you may need to reinforce. Your local foundation repair professionals offer three different methods of wall repair and reinforcement in this situation. 

We get it right the first time, every time, and our solutions are built to last.

FAQs About Foundation Repair

No, DIY foundation repairs won’t fix your foundation problems. Foundation problems run much deeper than the surface, so you need specialized equipment and expertise.

Yes, foundation problems are pretty much always serious. Your home’s foundation supports every other element of the home, so without a strong, stable foundation, your home is at risk of collapse. That’s why it’s so important to fix every foundation problem as soon as you’ve uncovered it.

Yes, foundation problems are not something that you can just leave alone. When you start to see basement floor cracks and other signs of foundation issues, that means you’ve caught the problem early—which is great! But you need to address the problem to stop them from turning into even more serious issues.

Foundation repairs aren’t always covered by homeowner’s insurance, but you should contact your provider to make sure. Every Groundworks company offers affordable financing with reliable warranties, but read our guide on homeowner’s insurance for foundation repairs for more in-depth information.

Foundation Repair Is Easier Than You’d Think with an Expert 

One of the reasons many people worry about foundation repair is because they’re concerned it’ll be difficult. This is an understandable fear, but when you have the help of an expert, it’s not that scary. You can schedule your free inspection with Groundworks today and learn firsthand how important it is to have an expert along for the ride.

The crew that came out to install pump in crawlspace and do some repair work on my foundation was awesome. Ricardo S. kept me in the loop on the work with detailed clear information and he was always open to my questions. The crew: Zack M, Alija M., and Uriel V.) were down to earth, professional, and trust worthy. They cleaned up everything nice and neat. I am pleased with the job and will use Groundworks again. Shout out to Mel for initial inspection!

We engaged groundworks to install hydraulic piers under cracked and sagging garage floors. Our terrific install team of Marc and Brandon performed a detailed analysis after they arrived, including drilling and measuring our slab depths along the sinking wall. They determined that unfortunately our slab itself was variable in depth and not thick enough throughout to support the work of hydraulic piers. Instead they were able do foam injections throughout to both give 30-50% of the targeted lift and provide additional slab depth and support to prevent future cracking. It wasn't what we hoped, but they did a great job of explaining the limitations of our site and providing the best intervention possible, all at a greatly reduced cost! Thanks, Marc and Brandon!!

After 30 years in our home, our foundation was in serious need of repair. Ohio Basement Authorities was selected to do the repair work needed to stabilize the home. They were very professional and quickly demonstrated that they had the expertise and equipment needed to effectively and efficiently get the job done. Very impressive was that a team of just 3 dug out a massive amount of dirt along the entire side of our house which then allowed them to install necessary materials to stabilize the foundation. Additionally, these 3 completed all needed work in less than a day and a half! Big shout out to Elijah, Robert and Isaiah W. from the Ohio Basement Authorities Branch in Cincinnati Ohio. I highly recommend them to anyone needing foundation repair.

I originally was a long time employee of their competitor Frontier so naturally I knew about Frontiers price assurance guarantee. unfortunately Frontier and their front office were not willing to honor their PAG. So after speaking to Tom and answering all my questions he made me feel at ease to give AFS a shot and they didn’t disappoint and blew my expectations out of the water. The concrete team of Josh and Adam were professional, extra careful and did a phenomenal job to getting my renovation project back on track. I was so impressed I already am talking to my wife about using them to do our driveway in the near future. I have had Frontier in the past do concrete before, but as a former customer and employee of frontier, AFS was way head and shoulders above the with their company and the quality of work. Thank you again Josh B. And Adam M. for your amazing work!

Had a great experience from start to finish! Trent was very informative when telling me what I needed and then the crew – Victor, Antonio and Ubaldo were courteous, professional and got the job done very quickly! You can tell communication is so important to this company. They made sure I knew what was happening at all times. Not only that, Victor and his crew made sure my house and landscaping looked just as good (if not better, actually) than when they started. Very please all the way around!

We had Roman and his team install a Sump Pump in December 2025 for us. Roman was excellent with his communication, and showed up when he said that his team would. We are very happy with Roman, his team, and Groundworks for this installation. Now we don't have to worry about a leak in our basement. We will have Roman and his team come back in the Spring to burry the line from our sump pump into our back yard. Great communication, and we got our installation done before they said they would. Five Star for sure.

Extremely professional from initial contact to completed job. Hector was great explaining the process to us. We felt the price was very reasonable. Our service was quickly scheduled & Sam Martin showed up promptly to provide the service. Sam got right to work, providing our 'fix' and cleaned up as he went along. We are very pleased with Alpha Foundations. This is the second time we have used them – two different properties. Repeat business is the best referral a company can ask for! Thanks Alpha!

We no longer struggle to climb our stairs and do not expect to have the kind of water problems we were having in these areas. Hayden S. and Andy H. work very well together and come highly recommended!
