How Much Does Foundation Repair Cost?

JES Foundation Repair inspector talking to two homeowners in front of their house

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:

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.

My two year dehumidifier was leaking a lot of water. I called JES and the service tech (Aric Banks) did an excellent job of fixing the problem. He leveled the pump, cleaned the filter and drain tube and moved the pump to a new location so that the water from the pump would drain more efficiently.

John, Jessie and Ben did a superior job replacing the drain tiles and sump pump in my basement They also encapsulated my crawl space. John was the leader of the crew and delegated tasks to his team in a very effective manner. All three were among the hardest working men I have ever experienced at my house. My basement water worries are over and I am so glad I went with JES. Not the cheapest but well worth the money for a superior job! Halsey Langdon

We had a wonderful experience with JES. We started noticing some cracks in our walls/floors and called for a consultation. Brian was extremely thorough and explained everything that would be necessary to get things fixed. He detailed all the options for payment/financing (since foundation work is not cheap!) and helped ease our fears a little bit about completely breaking our budget. JES took care of getting all permits for us. The true reason for 5 stars, however, is Santos and his crew. They were INCREDIBLE. They went above and beyond to make sure the work they did was done well. The whole team was incredibly friendly and very communicative throughout the process. There were a couple a snags at the beginning that could have been problematic, but Santos and his crew ensured that everything ran smoothly. The one thing that really stood out to us – Santos changed the original plan to make it more appealing, even though it was a little harder and more work for him. He said "if it were my house, I would want it to look nice, not the easiest solution." Highly, highly recommend if you need any foundation repair!

We had JES come out several years ago for work on our crawl space. It was a terrific experience led by Blaine H. Recently, we realized we needed to have JES come again. Blaine came out and set everything up for us. He is very knowledge, advocated for us on a few things and answered all of our questions. Very highly recommend Blaine from JES!
