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, perform an inspection, and use various measures to fix leaks or cracks. The amount you spend will vary greatly depending on the size and cause of the issue.

Stabilization is the process of fixing bowing walls by inserting steel or carbon fiber strips. The amount you spend will depend on the material used and the number of strips required. The cost of underpinning also varies. This process, sometimes referred to as leveling or piering, involves underpinning your foundation with concrete piers to level it; the cost is based on how many piers are used.

If you're looking to waterproof your foundation or basement, we suggest looking for a waterproofing specialist. This process may include indoor waterproofing, outdoor waterproofing, or both.

Indicators that you need foundation waterproofing include uneven floors, white powder or spots on your walls, discoloration or odors, hairline cracks, basement flooding, or signs of mildew, mold, or fungus. Your contractor can tell you whether you need interior or exterior waterproofing.

Interior waterproofing can involve the use of sealants or the installation of sump pumps and drains and is generally less expensive than exterior waterproofing. Exterior waterproofing can involve things like applying physical barriers to crawl spaces and basements, installing exterior drains, or making changes to your landscaping.

Permits are needed for most foundation repairs, but applying for one will not be your responsibility. Your foundation repair company should obtain the permit and all other documents required in San Anselmo, and should be able to provide the documents and/or explain the process before starting work.

We strongly suggest talking with your home insurance provider before you begin any foundation repairs to determine what might be covered. In general, foundation repairs won't be covered by your home insurance unless they are to repair damage that was caused by a covered weather event.
