11 Best Foundation Companies in Applewood, CO

On average, Applewood homeowners pay about $2,847 for foundation repair, although the actual cost will vary depending on several factors. The best way to estimate the cost of a specific job is to solicit quotes from a few local foundation repair companies. Your total cost will be influenced by things like the type of the repair(s) and the size of your house.

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 cause of the problem.

Stabilization is the process of fixing bowing walls by inserting carbon fiber or steel strips. The cost will depend on the material used and how many strips are required. 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 will be based on how many piers are used.

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

When constructing a new house, have a soil report completed. This report contains information about how well the soil on a given piece of land can support a foundation, and can offer you a heads-up about potential future problems. If you have concerns about an existing home, for a few hundred dollars, you can get an inspection and report by a structural engineer. The engineer can alert you to any things that could use some attention, and advise you on how to avoid future problems.

You also want to make sure that the moisture around your foundation is appropriate. The weather in Applewood tends to be very dry, which means that at times you may need to water your soil and foundation. Also, be on the lookout for leaky gutters or pipes, so you can get them repaired quickly.

A permit is normally required for foundation repair, but acquiring one won't be your responsibility. Your foundation repair provider should obtain all the permits and other documents required in Applewood, and should be able to explain the process and/or provide the documents before starting work.

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

We advise against putting off a foundation repair project. A single issue may have an underlying cause that could potentially result in future problems, and it's better to get ahead of the issue as soon as possible. A minor problem now could become a large and expensive one in the future if the signs are ignored.
