Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on foundation companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
If your foundation needs repairs, you may notice a number of symptoms. Outside, you may notice a crumbling or cracking foundation or a cracked driveway. Your ground floor may have floors that are cracked or uneven. You may notice windows and doors that are sticking in their frames, or frames that are skewed. You could also notice bowing, cracking, or buckling walls.
The amount you'll spend on foundation repair depends on a number of factors. Things like the type of repair needed, the size of your home, and the extent of the damage will all help determine the cost. On average, Yuba City homeowners spend about $3,823. The best way to determine how much a job is going to cost is to talk to a local foundation repair expert and schedule a free inspection and estimate.

Types of foundation repair include leak repair, crack repair, stabilization, underpinning, and waterproofing.
Leak repair and crack repair involve a technician coming to your home, performing an inspection, and using various repair techniques to fix leaks or cracks. The amount you spend will vary greatly depending on the size and cause of the problem.
Stabilization reinforces bowing walls by inserting steel or carbon fiber strips. The amount you spend will depend on the material used and how many strips are required. The cost of underpinning also varies. This process, also called piering or leveling, involves leveling your foundation by underpinning it with concrete piers; the cost depends on how many piers are used.
If you're looking to waterproof your foundation or basement, we suggest talking to a waterproofing specialist. This process might include indoor waterproofing, outdoor waterproofing, or both.
Permits are needed for most foundation repairs, but getting one should not be your responsibility. Your foundation repair professional should obtain the permit and all other documents required in Yuba City, and should be able to explain the process and/or provide the documents before starting work.
Usually, your foundation repair expert will be licensed as a general contractor. In California, general contractors are required to be licensed by the Contractors State License Board in order to work on projects valued over $500. To obtain a license, an individual must have at least four years of related work experience in the last decade (or be represented by someone who does), must pass both a law and business and a trade exam, and must be bonded. If an individual or business has employees, workers' compensation insurance is also required. There may be additional requirements for contractors to do certain work with concrete.
Foundation repairs that are done by a trustworthy company should last a long time. Large repairs, such as basement waterproofing, can be very involved and expensive, but they do a lot in terms of reducing your risk of future issues.
