Types of foundation repair include leak repair, crack repair, stabilization, underpinning, and waterproofing.

For both leak repair and crack repair, a technician will come to your home, complete an inspection, and use various repair techniques to fix leaks or cracks. The cost of these procedures will vary greatly depending on the size and root cause of the issue.

Stabilization helps to fix bowing walls by inserting carbon fiber or steel strips. The cost will depend on the material chosen and how many strips are needed. The cost of underpinning also varies. This process, also called leveling or piering, involves underpinning your foundation with concrete piers to level it; the cost is based on how many piers are needed.

If you're interested in waterproofing your foundation or basement, we recommend finding a waterproofing specialist. This process may include indoor waterproofing, outdoor waterproofing, or both.

When you're in need of waterproofing, you'll notice signs like uneven floors, basement flooding, discoloration or odors, white powder or spots on your walls, hairline cracks, or signs of mildew, mold, or fungus.

Your options include interior and exterior waterproofing. Interior waterproofing is often less expensive, and involves solutions such as the use of sealants or the installation of sump pumps or drains. Exterior waterproofing is more expensive but more effective. Exterior waterproofing can involve things like external drains, landscaping changes, or physical barriers to stop water from getting into basements and crawl spaces.

A permit is normally required for foundation repair, but acquiring one is not your responsibility. Your foundation repair professional should get the permit and all other documents required by the state of Linda, and they should be able to provide the documents and/or explain the process if asked.

Generally, home insurance doesn't cover foundation repairs, unless the repair is to fix damage resulting from a covered weather event. We strongly suggest talking to your home insurance company before starting any foundation repairs.
