There are many methods to repair a compromised foundation. The best solution depends on the cause of the issue, the type of foundation and type of soil. Repairs can range from $500 to $50,000 (or more), so it’s important to properly identify the root of the problem.

The most common foundation repair methods are underpinning (deep foundation elements to support your foundation), crack repair and slabjacking (leveling of a concrete slab). However, your property may only require relatively simple changes to the grading and drainage around your home.

Common methods of foundation repair:

• Push Piers

• Helical Piers

• Micropiles

• Mudjacking/Slabjacking

• Polyurethane Foam Injection

• Structural crack repair

Foundation repair contractors tend to specialize in one or two repair methods. While specializing makes them very good at what they do, their solution may not always be the best fit for your needs. That’s why we focus on diagnosing your foundation’s particular problem and recommend the exact solution for you. With our recommendation, we can provide referrals to appropriate contractors in your area.
