What is the average cost of foundation repair? This average can vary greatly depending on the extent of foundation damage your home is experiencing and where your home or business is located. Determining the cost of foundation repair without an exhaustive structural assessment can be a real shot in the dark for homeowners. The build of the home, age of the home, severity of the damage, market, soil conditions, and the personal project goals of the homeowner are all important factors to consider.
The most important thing to do first is to have a trained expert investigate the severity of the damage. It is also important to do so as soon as possible, before the problem gets worse and more costly to repair. For more extensive structural damage, piers or pilings are the most common repair type used to stabilize the property.
Pilings or piers are installed under the foundation and designed to penetrate deep into the soil underneath the home, providing the home with support and long-term protection against structural movement. Once installed, piers or pilings will help stabilize the foundation, working to reverse the signs of foundation damage, like cracks in walls, cracks near windows, bowing walls and restore sagging floors. The prices to install pilings vary by market mostly due to regional soil types and can be affected by home type, home build quality, soil type, stable soil depth, problems affecting the home, work site obstacles, material costs, installation method and foundation type slab vs basement vs crawl space.
However, payment programs are available. When it comes to addressing foundation problems, you do not want to settle for a quick fix from unqualified technicians. Though some foundation repair consultants may quote you low prices, be wary of low rates that sound too good to be true. Services from unproven companies can result in a less reliable analysis, which could mean that many of your issues will not be addressed, creating a need for even more costly repairs in the future β when that company may no longer be in business.
