How Much Does Foundation Repair Cost?

CFI outside with homeowners discussing foundation repair costs

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.

Phillip sets the standard for exemplary customer service, professionalism, and knowledge. His service work on equipment in my crawl space was five star! His understanding of the challenges a cracked beam presents allowed him to explain the repair process clear and concisely. I went with JES on encapsulating my crawl space and replacing almost half of the massive joists several years ago; I'm absolutely sticking with them on shoring up the beam. Yes, they are expensive; their quality work is worth every penny!

The JES team of Antione G, Troy G, and Gerald P. did an outstanding job of making sure my nearly 100 year old basement will never flood again. They were diligent. And LOUDâ ¦ not their fault because jackhammers are loud. They answered all my questions and cleaned up their work area. Plus, and I believe this is really important, they were really nice and friendly. Work hard, do a good job, be kind. They did all that. Thank you so much!

We had our outside walkway lifted today as it had sunk to a dangerous angle. JES gave us a thorough inspect and estimate. They arrived early and did an excellent job being very respectful of the lawn and gardens. Bryan Rutherford and Austin Hicks were the technicians on the job. Very pleasant to deal with and explained everything. Thanks JES.

Had cold floors during the winter and wanted this fixed. Michael Berger came out and suggested encapsulating my craw space. Was very professional and answered all emails immediately. The guys who came out to do the work were very polite and professional. Had 2 separate teams come out and both teams where great. The crawlspace deffinently had its obstacles due to a addition being built previously and hard to get to areas. After the job was done lots of pics were takin so I could see the areas that were hard to get to. This was great because it insured me it was done correctly. The encapsulation looks great and worked well. Had a small coldspot still and was immediately contacted by Sean Wheeler to get this addressed . They came out for free to assure that my issue was addressed and that I was satisfied. Now my floors are warm and it's 25°. Don't be scared to go with the bigger company. JES Foundation is an amazing company and I highly recommend them.

My original appointment was to be on a Friday at 2pm. JES texted me the Monday prior asking if I would like to change the appointment to Tuesday at 2, which was great. The inspector, Jay called early Tuesday to see if we could meet at 1130. Jay showed up on time and we immediately dug into the issue…a likely sunken corner foundation of my carport. Jay covered all the possible solutions, went thru the warranty, timing, cost, etc. At no point did I feel pressured to make a decision and Jay conducted himself in a pleasant and professional manor.

Never good when your basement leaks, but JES was top notch from the time Marcelo stepped through our door with the free estimate until Gerald P, Troy G, and Kevin P finished the job and cleaned everything up. I had a few other estimates but Marcelo gave me an option no one else even me. Saved me thousands! I would highly recommend JES when you are looking for foundation repair.

After deciding to stop using the plumbing company that I had been using for many years, due too many recent bad experiences, I found A1 Sewer and Drain on the Thumbtack app. After sending them a message on Thumbtack, I received a call from A-1 within about 10 minutes. They scheduled a next day appointment for me. The next morning I got a text message from A-1 that the tech was on his way and it even included a photo of the tech, Matthew. Matthew was professional and polite. He got the small job done quickly. I appreciate the entire experience and customer service that I received from A-1 and will continue to use them in the future.

I had my slab lifted with push piers then filled with poly and this company came in a tad bit more expensive than some other companies however the quality and warranty made them worth the extra cost, which in my opinion is marginal, and their team was professional and explained everything so I knew what was going on during the process. I definitely recommend JES for your foundation repair needs. Huge thanks to the crew that did the repair for push piers it was Agustin G., Agustin L. and Eduardo L. Poly was Andrew F. and Steven S. Super professional they got in did their work and cleaned up great looks like no one was ever there.
