How to choose foundation repair companies

  1. 1

    Get an independent opinion

    For large repairs, a structural engineer's report gives you an unbiased scope to compare quotes against.

  2. 2

    Ask about the warranty

    Many foundation companies offer long or lifetime transferable warranties. Read what they cover.

  3. 3

    Ask what caused it

    Poor drainage and soil movement cause many foundation problems. A repair that ignores the cause may not last.

  4. 4

    Ask about permits

    Many cities require a permit for structural foundation work. Ask who pulls it.

FAQ

Questions about foundation repair companies

How do I know it's a foundation problem?

Widening cracks, doors that stop closing and floors that slope are the usual signs. An inspection confirms it.

Are all cracks a problem?

No. Hairline cracks are common as concrete cures. Wide, growing or stair-step cracks are worth a look.

How long does foundation repair take?

Many pier jobs take a few days. Larger repairs and drainage work take longer.

Will repairs crack my walls?

Lifting a house can open or close drywall cracks. Ask whether cosmetic repairs are included.

Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?

No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
