Foundation repair cost: what affects the price
Why two foundation repairs can cost very different amounts, and how to compare quotes.
Foundation repair is not priced by the square foot. The price follows the cause, the method and how much of the structure needs work.
We do not publish a flat price because it would not be honest: two houses with the same crack can need very different repairs. What we can do is explain what drives the price, so you know what you are comparing when quotes come in.

What affects the price
- How much has moved
- A small problem in one corner costs less than movement across the whole structure.
- The number of supports
- The more piers or supports a building needs, the higher the cost.
- The repair method and depth
- Deeper piers and more involved methods cost more than simpler ones.
- Access
- Work that is easy to reach is quicker than work around obstacles or under the building.
- Type of structure
- Slab, pier and beam, home or commercial building: each calls for different work.
- Water and drainage
- Fixing the cause, such as drainage or a leak, can be part of the job.
How to compare quotes
A lower number is not always a better deal. Make sure each quote covers the same work.
- Ask what method is proposed and why
- Ask how many piers or supports are included
- Ask what area of the structure the repair covers
- Ask what is and is not included, and what the warranty covers
- Get everything in writing
