How Much Does Foundation Repair Cost?
If you’re a homeowner experiencing foundation problems, you may ask yourself, “How much does foundation repair cost?”
In a previous article, we discussed foundation repair budgeting.
This page explores the costs associated with foundation repair so you can make an informed decision. This topic deserves a straightforward answer, so let’s not waste time.
What is the Average Foundation Repair Cost?
HomeAdvisor reports that foundation repair costs range significantly depending on several factors. A professional foundation inspection is necessary to estimate these costs correctly.
The price depends on the severity of the damage, location, accessibility, and chosen repair method. Asking questions during an initial contractor inspection is crucial to receiving an accurate estimate and reliable, long-term repairs.
Don’t accept the lowest estimate as the best option. Check references, determine if they have professional engineers on staff, and ensure the contractor is licensed, insured, and accredited.
What Does Foundation Repair Involve?
Professionals utilize several foundation repair methods, including:
- Foundation Piers: Helical piers, push piers, and slab piers stabilize and strengthen sinking, settling, and compromised foundations.
- Carbon Fiber Wall Repair: This robust system reinforces bowing and cracked foundation walls.
- IntelliBrace™ Wall Repair System: This system stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring the beams to the floor joists and the floor, ensuring maximum strength.
- Wall Anchors: These anchors grip stable soil, stop foundation movement, and straighten the walls over time.
Cracked concrete slabs, driveways, sidewalks, and other surfaces may be addressed using polyurethane foam injection. This concrete lifting solution provides long-term relief for cracked, sinking, and uneven surfaces without the invasive or messy repair of traditional methods like mudjacking or complete slab replacement.

James did amazing! Definitely recommend him and this company — only thing I didn’t love was that I had to pay for an hour and a half for him to go get a part ($325) and drive back to my house. It took him about 15 minutes tops to fix the drain and I wish it was more cost efficient. I had to send a picture beforehand and wish they would have brought the part the first time. But all in all would recommend James!!

Austin was incredible! Professional and courteous, knows his stuff and was able to answer all of my questions thoroughly. The thing I appreciate the MOST: he was NOT a pushy sales person – when we are ready to get the basement crack done, he’s my first call!

We've used JES in the Richmond metro area twice in the past five years and have been very pleased with their work on both projects. In November 2019, they installed two push piers under a corner of our mid-1960s house that was sinking and installed a CrawlSeal encapsulation system in the crawl space. In September 2024, they installed a steel I-beam and two engineered jacks in the crawl space under a fireplace hearth that didn't have adequate support. Both projects involved working very close to the residential gas line. In both projects, the work was done very well and completed on schedule. Each employee has been professional, knowledgeable, hard-working, and very pleasant to deal with. On the most recent project, Cameron Flynn, lead jack installer, and John Trak, certified field inspector, were terrific. We trust JES employees and will not hesitate to call on them if we need them in the future.

The problem with the bathroom sink handles were not connected properly by the builder. In addition the new plumbing handles because they have heavy amounts of calcium. So I ordered new parts because Delta has a lifetime warranty. I’m still waiting for the parts. A1 was made aware of this and I will be calling them once the parts arrive.

JES Foundation Repair is best in customer service, knowledge – they know what they're doing and need to do and got the beam in my foundation replaced to my satisfaction with photos. Lee, the person I interacted with was excellent with service, inspection, quote and all around always called me back asap, worked on weekends, did everything he could to make this repair a 5 star experience. The crew, led by Seth, was polite, explained everything to me and got the job done. Highly recommend.

Just completed my annual service inspection on my sump pump. JES does a great job of proactively notifying me when it's time for the next check. The technician who came out (Michael) was very professional, timely and helpful. This is the 3rd or 4th year since the remediation work was completed in my basement. Its an expensive project but well worth it for the peace of mind it brings. I would definitely recommend JES for their expertise and after-project support.
