We understand how difficult it can be to find out the cost of foundation repair (that’s why we offer free quote appointments). But truth be told, asking “How much does foundation repair cost?” is just like asking “How long is a piece of string?”.
The cost of foundation repair typically ranges anywhere between $4,000 – $25,000 upwards.
Of course, it all depends on the condition of your foundation, the condition of your property and soils, and your goals. However, it also depends on several other factors such as whether or not you have renovated the home as it continued to settle.
What factors affect the price of my foundation repair?
- Severity of the foundation issue
- Home size & condition
- Soil stability and condition
- Labours, permits, engineering, materials needed, and transportation costs
- Do you want a permanent fix, or temporary
Average cost of foundation repair:
Minor repair project : $2,000 – $5,000
Mid scale project : $5,000 – $15,000
Large repair project : $25,000 – $100,000+
Other costs to consider
Just like any substantial home repair or improvement project, you might not know how extensive the project is until you’re in it. This could be especially true for something like foundation repair, where most of the work happens underground.
There may be tree roots or the piers have to be lengthened in order to reach solid ground. It’s always a good idea to have some extra range in your budget to cover any unplanned costs.

How to lower the cost of foundation repair?
The sooner you notice signs of settlement, and the sooner you act on repairing foundation issues, the cheaper they will be.
Yes, you can lessen the cost of your foundation repair project. To do that, you can discuss options with your specialist during your quote appointment. Things like, doing your own excavation prep work, can help lower the project price.
In some cases, there are options for temporary repairs, or band aid fixes. An example of a temporary foundation repair is polyurethane foam being used to support the foundation. However, we advise against this strategy as it does not address the root cause of the issue, and you will continue to develop worse damage. Temporary repairs also lead to more costly repairs in the future as the structure continues to settle.
