Additional Foundation Repair Information
Is foundation repair covered by insurance?
Most likely not. Foundation repair cost are going to be the responsibility of the homeowner to pay for.
Why do Foundations Fail?
Basement foundations can fail for many reasons. It is important to note that that basement foundation failure can often be prevented with proper design, construction, and maintenance. Regular inspections and repairs can help identify potential problems early before they escalate into more serious issues
How much does it cost to repair a crack in my basement?
Repairing a crack can be pretty inexpensive if all that needs done is some tuck-pointing or filler. Hiring a contractor to fill cracks can be done for as little as a few hundred dollars if the cracks are inactive and not getting any worse.
If the cracks in your basement are actively moving, or show signs of movement, tuck-pointing or using filler in the cracks is not the only thing that will need to be done to stop this problem, and structural repairs such as Helical Piles or Steel I-beams may be needed. These repair solutions are thousands of dollars. How many thousands can depend on the extent of the damage.
Should I consult with a Structural Engineer first?
Yes. This is a great idea for when you’re planning on getting several estimates, or if you’re not 100% sure as to what needs done to your home. Having an Engineer look at the foundation of your home can help streamline the process of figuring out the problems, getting contractor referrals, and receiving estimates that align with the Engineers design so you can make an “apples to apples” comparison.
