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.

I've now had JES complete two projects in my exposed crawlspace. Both times, they have added adjustable jacks on top of footers and either replaced a main beam or added a supplemental metal I Beam. I've been extremely impressed with their quality of work, timeliness, and efficiency. They show up ready to work and are sure to ask questions if needed. I spent time with both crews down in the crawl space and appreciated their professionalism and willingness to make things right.Foreman: Jaime CastilloAntonio CanalesJose Rafael GarciaThe only thing I was not pleased with was how little the office side of things kept in touch with me prior to pinning down this second date. I was told on multiple occasions I'd be receiving an update from the office and each time I had to call them. Again, overall I am very happy, hats off to the site workers and everyone I spoke to the in the office was very pleasant, I just wish they had provided more updates without being prompted. Would do business with again in the future.

Bryan ********** and Austin ***** were fantastic. They were great about explaining what AND why they were doing what they were doing. Very professional and courteous and spent more time on the job than expected due to equipment problems. Instead of saying we'll come back some other time, they worked through it, went way past the scheduled time on site and got it done. I'm very appreciative of them and the job they did.

My house underwent foundation repair. Everyone in the process was professional. I want to especially acknowledge the team who performed most of the work on a daily basis: Jose Lopez, Daniel Yacila, and Jesus Baires. These three gentlemen knew the work. They communicated the scope and promptly alerted me to issues. They left the work area in a clean and organized condition. Moises did a good job managing the crew. Grateful to work with these men.

Jay came out to my house to conduct a free estimate to see if some of the cracks in my foundation were symptomatic of a larger problem, or were anything to worry about. He was very professional, took some measurements – including with a laser level – and looked around for any additional signs of a foundation issue. He took the time to explain things to me, and really helped me understand my foundation, terminology, and things to watch for! He helped to point out that I wasn't in any danger from the issues I saw, and gave me helpful advice on ways to make sure it stays that way! Would highly recommend JES to anyone (and would come back to them if I ever have any other issues), but especially would recommend to first time homeowners who have questions and want a straight up and honest answer on their issues!

Had the pleasure of dealing with Jason Gamse today and he did an excellent job of not only educating us in regards to the work his company does but also assisting us in the best process to get what we needed done to our home. He was the third person that came out and the saying “save the best for last” definitely applied to him. After this job is done we will come back for any future work needed for our home and definitely ask for him personally.

The crew foreman, Rod, kept me informed of their arrival time. Upon arrival we covered the installation details and everything was laid out as planned. He and his crew (Keenan and Shaq) were very courteous. The work was executed very timely and the workmanship exceeded my expectations! Would certainly recommend this hard working crew!

I had water erosion beneath my driveway, causing the slabs to be uneven by as much as 2 inches. JES was able to raise the slabs and avoid a more costly replacement. The repair included a five year warranty!

Greg from JES came out to inspect a property and give a free estimate within a day of calling. He was punctual, which is important with my busy schedule. During the evaluation of the basement, Greg was able to clearly explain what was creating the problem and exactly how to fix it. JES is lucky to have Greg. Rikki Cheatham REALTOR� DFG

To start, Our Sales representative Blaine Harvey was very professional. Did a complete inspection of the property. Made a few recommendations but really focused and addressed our concern/problem areas. This is greatly appreciated.Roberto and Jose Martinez, the installation crew were very polite and professional as well. Addressed all concerns and answered every question showing their expertise in the field. They were very clean throughout the installation. Under the house was left better than before. We had plastic underneath but needed to be removed in order for them to work. Did not expect them to re-line the ground upon completion but they used heavy duty plastic as a replacement. This is greatly appreciated. It is always the little things that make the difference in projects to homeowners. I would like to also mention Jo in the Richmond area office. Was very helpful in getting the information on the account up to date and taking the payment over the phone. Very well spoken and appreciate the small chit chat. She was a tremendous asset. We will need future work (Cleanspace) and would like to work with JES again.Thank youAndrea

We had JES repair one side of our sinking foundation years ago and they did a fantastic job. When we recently saw wall cracks on the opposite side of the house, we immediately called them. They are incredibly responsive and so trustworthy. Jay came out, did a thorough inspection, and explained that we had a door problem, not a foundation problem. He also confirmed that JES’s years old fix our our foundation is perfect. We are so relieved to have the piece of mind that JES provides and appreciated Jay’s professionalism, comprehensiveness, and the fact that he went above and beyond (he even did a temporary fix for my door!).
