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.

The JES team was amazing and I am so grateful for their patience and time. I had concerns going into the project and there were some changes I didn’t expect, but each concern was taken seriously. Thank you to the Superintendent Rudy Gonzalez and his team: Jose Lopez, Victorino Jonya, Ernesto Castillo. Truly these guys worked hard, kept me informed, and chose what was best for my home at each decision.

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.

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 !

Our foundation repair work was completed more quickly than expected. Rafael Garcia Lopez, Luis Rivera, and Luis David Palma did an excellent job cleaning after the job. Supervisor, Moises Paz, sent photos and updates throughout the process so we knew what was happening outside. We had a hard time finding a company to do this work and would definitely recommend them.

We just finished getting the underside of our house encapsulated by JES Foundation Repair. The whole process went flawless. I contacted them online and they sent Blaine Harvey to speak with us and give an estimate. We went with JES because we wanted a company who does this work for a living. Everything went smoothly. The communication level was awesome. Ibrahim and Jovone performed the work in below freezing weather. That's dedication. Their professionalism was top notch throughout. I would highly recommend JES with Blaine, Ibrahim and Jovone for any project. Thanks guys!!!

Thank heaven for JES! Not only did they discover our sump pump had stopped working long ago, but they also recognized the work needed would be beyond just swapping out a pump. The intake lines had clogged and the tank was filled to the brim with unspeakable creepy black gunk. Other companies estimates didn’t include full removal of the crud or clearing intake/outflow lines. Then Ben, the installer arrived. He was 120% professional, respectful, eager, and friendly…even when he found a dead frog floating on the surface of the goop! You can tell that Ben really loves his work. It was joyful to witness his tenacity in getting that tank completely clean even though it took twice as long as was probably expected. And then near the end of the job, when verifying the lines were clear, another frog appeared. This time the frog was alive. Undaunted, Ben rescued and removed it. Throughout the process Ben inspired confidence in the quality and thoroughness of the work to be performed. I would recommend JES from beginning of the estimate process, scheduling communications, through job complete.

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.

Yesterday we had JES come and fix my sidewalk where it had cracked. We were scheduled for 3-4pm. The field workers were down a guy and the jobs ahead of me took longer than planned. By the time TJ King and Carlos Silva got to my house it was already 7pm. I have to say I was amazed at their work ethic. They treated me like I was the first job of the day. They worked without a break and made my sidewalk look perfect. I did not hear one complaint come from either worker the whole time they were here. They left my house sometime after 11:30pm. The only complaint I would have would be with the home office communication (letting clients know that the field team will be late) and the Inspector not communicating how involved the job would be. I will def hire them again.

JES did a great job fixing our front porch. It had begun to settle and sloped towards the house, which allowed water to leak into our basement during heavy rains. JES lifted the front porch and adjoining sidewalk and filled in some significant voids with the poly foam. They finished it off with some nice sanded caulk that looks much better than what was there before. Time will tell if the problem has been fixed. Will update the review after the next storm to see if the basement stays dry. All the employees from JES were friendly and professional, communicated well what to expect, and cleaned up after themselves. Working with this company has been a great experience. A note to potential customers: there is a $1600 job minimum for them to come out. Our original problem probably would have been less than that, but they inspected the sidewalk and foundation to see what spots needed improvement that they could add to the job to get us up to the minimum amount. I called another company that does similar work and they had a similar job minimum amount. We feel this was money well spent to solve our leaking basement problem, and we would have had to spend a similar amount with another company anyway.
