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.

When Chris Murray from Groundworks came out to do an inspection of our home, we absolutely expected for him to sell us a pricey package to permanently repair a recurring crack in our stucco. Instead, he gave us an honest appraisal and told us our home was level and we didn't need to do anything. I highly recommend Chris from Groundworks if you want someone with integrity that will give an honest opinion,

JES encapsulated my crawl space (including a dehumidifier) and waterproofed one side of my house's foundation. The crew: Daniel Yacila, Alexander Falcon, and Pedro Llontop did an outstanding job. They were professional, courteous, hardworking, accommodating, thorough, and very friendly. The quality of their work was excellent. I would be happy to do business with this crew in the future. JES also elevated my front porch and sidewalk and that crew exhibited the same attributes.

We are in the 19 month of an expected 3 month addition build and kitchen remodel. During the process major errors were made in our foundation for the addition that led to flooding and our new addition crawl space not even being able to pass inspection.Brian at JES came in and helped us understand everything that had gone wrong with the original foundation work by our contractor and then helped us create a plan with him and JES to fix everything and get it right.Brian came by the house regularly, checked on our needs, helped us with financing, and helped us prep for the work.Then Paul and team came in and in 2 days totally transformed but was called “the mud room” (our addition crawl space) to a place that could pass foundation inspections and was clean and usable storage space.I cannot say in words how grateful I am for JES and team. Not only did they do the work with excellence … they cared and excelled in listening to us and working with us to rectify a really challenging situation.Thank you JES !

The JES Team was fantastic! They accomplished encapsulation of 2 crawl spaces and installed a sump pump in the basement. Brian S.managed a great crew with Gio O.and David B. And added Cameron and Truman for a couple days. Brian showed me and explained what they accomplished each step of the way! They worked meticulously and cleaned up each day! They were informative, trustworthy, careful, and very pleasant to deal with! Jerry W, the electrician was great, too! We were very pleased to have JES accomplish this priority job for our home.

I was extremely pleased with the work that the men from JES foundation did. We had water seeping into our basement and they came and installed a french drain and also did some work with our gutters to extend them far out. Abdul W. found a root from a bush that was pushing against the wall and cut it off so it would not be an issue. He was very informative and educated me as the work was being done and pointed out problem areas they were going to fix along the way. The other men, Nilhon R. and Walter F. The men did a great job overall and cleaned up all of the mess afterward and I would highly recommend them.
