I have a guy coming out today to look at mine, can you guys give me a cost range, house is 1,800 to 1,900 square feet, looking online the price range is from 7K to 20K, Thanks for any help!

With the information provided, 7K to 20K. Seriously what is the repair? Craw space? Slab? Mold? Cracks? Sagging?

Slab, cracks and sagging.

I’ve repaired quite a few foundations in residential and commercial and they have ranged from $3k-$30k. There is just no way to answer your question without specific knowledge.

If you just need a few helical piers, probably not too bad.

How old is the house?

25 years old, several in neighborhood have had work done, I had a roofer come out the look for hail damage and he saw splits in the singles and said the back of the house looked lower. I have some cracks on some interior walls, nothing I can see on the flooring in the house.

If it is AFS, Run!!!!!!!

Nowhere near enough information.
My company inspects between 850-1000 homes a year. Foundation issues of one sort or another are in nearly all of them. Varying degrees of severity.

What I can tell you with 100% certainty is this. If you call a foundation contractor, they will always have something to sell you. Always. Every time. Never fails. Needed or not.

I direct my clients to a qualified licensed and independent structural engineer for anything I consider important. The foundation contractors have their own structural engineers and they give "free" evaluations. They are being paid by the companies that employ them. They do not have your best interested in mind. They will always sell you something. That's how they get paid.

The independent structural engineer will charge you for their time. They will NOT be quoting you repairs. They will simply identify if a repair is needed and what that repair should consist of. Then you take that to a foundation contractor, 3 quotes preferably, and price the work exactly as the structural engineer states and not one thing more. Of course, all this depends on the type issue you're having.

Example. Last week we inspected a home for a lady. Buying it for her parents.
General contractor leaving as I arrive. Told her the issue wasn't a big deal.
She then tells me she got a quote from a local contractor (One I don't trust). They quoted $37,000 in repairs across the entire 60' front of the basement wall.
I went down and inspected it. Told her the general contractor had lost his mind, there was significant lateral movement on the interior wall. It needs repair. However, the significant movement was JUST on the middle 3rd. Really the middle 5th. The remainder of the cracking was just hairline cracks, no movement at all. She called the structural engineer I recommended. They charged her $500.00 and as I suspected, the one section of foundation needed repair to prevent further movement. The rest did not. New quote $13000. Less than half what the foundation company quoted. So she saved many thousands of dollars using an independent structural engineer and is moving forward on the home.

My cell is 205-706-4356. You're welcome to reach out. Send some photos and I'll happily review them. All brick cracking is not foundational. There are many aspects to a foundation issue and a roofer doesn't know jack about any of them.

Foundation repair and crawl space sealing must be a booming biz , bout 1/2 the local ads on TV are for it.

Desperate for work. Think they're ever going to look at any issue they won't sell a repair for? Even if it's not foundation related?

Hell of a Post Fatty. Hope you can Help this Man out. And I Hope he reports back with the Good News.

Thanks for the info guys.

Listen to this ^^^ man.

Well the guy just left and he said nothing needs to be done, he said the house had just settled some, not enough to do anything! Thanks for all you guys help.

Late to reply but fyi I just had my fireplace done it was $7600 first four augers up tho 15’ depth were included it started multiplying if they had to go deeper to get the holding psi they are looking for and adding more augers to the job . Mine only took the four and got a good hold in 15’ but they hadn’t it would have went up for anything else to do the job

This is what I did in Texas. $500 and I got a certified engineering report showing where the foundation had fallen and by how much over the entire footprint. His report also showed how many piers that would be required to fix the issue. In the end, it still costs me $20k. This amount did not include the repairs to the sheet rock, outside brick cracks and cracked sewer pipe underneath the house.

If any of you are considering a move to the DFW area of Texas, beware of the clay soils and cheap foundations.

Most of these foundation companies are crooks. You can find something wrong with every foundation in every building ever built. Plus the average home owner has no way of telling if it's bs or not.had a structural engineer design a house slab for me one time. We built it exactly to his specs. Home owner called an inspection company to do his inspection on house, he recommended calling his buddy to check foundation, just to be safe. Buddy came out and said foundation was settling but he could fix for 20k. Homowner called me and said if I didn't pay for he was going to sue. I told him fine, I would take care of it. I called the foundation guy and said please send me his report, because I was gonna pay for repairs and the sue the structural engineer. The engineer was his daddy. A week later he went to home owner and said he thought they made a mistake and needed to check again. After rechecked, told owner his tech was new and made a mistake, and nothing was wrong with his foundation!

Ha Ha

Ramjack just leveled my sagging floors on 1800 sq’ 30 yr old. They were bad. About 1.5” out of level down the hall.Walls cracking, cabinets and granite separating. High and low spots. It was very obvious to look at. Its not perfect but it’s tremendously better. They used steel beams, 15 or so heavy duty jacks. Installed a drain system and pump around a separate add on and they will come back for 5 yrs to adjust if needed. About $18,000
