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:
There are a number of signs that your foundation is in need of repair. These might include:
On average, Webb City homeowners pay around $3,343 for foundation repair, although the actual cost will change based on several factors. The easiest way to estimate the cost of your specific project is to request quotes from a few local foundation repair companies. The total price 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 measures to remedy leaks or cracks. The amount you spend can vary greatly depending on the size and cause of the issue.
Stabilization involves reinforcing bowing walls by inserting steel or carbon fiber strips. The amount you spend will depend on the material chosen and how many strips are 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 needed.
If you're looking to waterproof your foundation or basement, we recommend finding a waterproofing specialist. This process may include indoor waterproofing, outdoor waterproofing, or both.
Some signs that you need foundation waterproofing include basement flooding, uneven floors, hairline cracks, white powder or spots on your walls, discoloration or odors, or signs of fungus, mildew, or mold. Your contractor can inform you whether you need interior or exterior waterproofing.
Interior waterproofing can involve the installation of sump pumps and drains or the use of sealants and tends to be less expensive than exterior waterproofing. Exterior waterproofing can involve applying physical barriers to basements and crawl spaces, installing exterior drains, or making changes to your landscaping.
A permit is normally required for foundation repair, but getting one will not be your responsibility. Your foundation repair company should put together all of the permits and other documents required in Webb City, and they should be able to provide the documents and/or explain the process if asked.
In some cases, foundation repairs can be considered capital improvements if they fit the criteria of an improvement that adds to your house's overall market value, prolongs its life, or adapts it to new uses. Making capital improvements sometimes helps you qualify for tax breaks. (Contact your Missouri tax professional for more information.) Even if you don't qualify for tax breaks, foundation repairs will, in most cases, positively affect the value of your home.
