When we think of a home with a foundation problem we think of how much of a hassle it can be to have it repaired. At the first sign of damage you should contact a contractor night away for an inspection and repair cost estimate.
How do they come up with an estimate?

The contractors take many factors into consideration when calculating the estimate for the repair of your foundation. After they have done their initial inspection, they will asses the damage and determine how long it will take to fix the foundation. Other than the labor cost the estimates will also depend on the type of material will be used, as well as the cause of the damage.
Before committing to one contractor, you should get at least three estimates to compare the cost. However, you should not automatically go for the cheapest estimate. You should take into consideration the type of materials they will use, as well as the contractor's reputation. Sometimes it will be worth it to pay more in order to get a better quality job. Remember, it will cost you more to have the job redone due to inferior work. Another factor that will determine the cost is the area in which the damage is located. Certain areas of the foundation will cost more to repair than others.
When people have their foundation repaired, they typically opt to take on other home repairs at the same time. These services often include pest control, earthquake proofing, and the installation of seismic anchor bolts. These services will cost you more money; however, it will allow you to have all the necessary services done at one time instead of at different times.
Foundation repair will cost a lot of money. Most people require payment plans and/or loans for this kind of problem, though it is a good idea to see if homeowner's insurance will cover some of the expense.
