7 Best Foundation Companies in Enid, OK

On average, Enid homeowners pay around $2,159 for foundation repair, although the actual cost will depend on several factors. The easiest way to get an estimate for the cost of your specific project is to get quotes from one or more local foundation repair companies. Your total cost will be affected by things like the type of the repair(s) and the size of your house.

The main types of foundation repair include crack repair, leak repair, underpinning, stabilization, and waterproofing.

Crack repair and leak repair are what they sound like: your foundation contractor will perform an inspection and take necessary measures to remedy cracks or leaks. Costs will vary depending on the size and cause of the problem.

Underpinning, also called piering or leveling, is the process of leveling your foundation by underpinning it with large concrete piers. The cost will depend on how many piers are required. The price of stabilization varies similarly. This process fixes bowing walls by reinforcing them with steel or carbon fiber strips. The cost will depend on what material is used and how many strips are used.

Lastly, waterproofing is an overarching term for a number of jobs designed to stop water from getting into your foundation. This can involve exterior waterproofing, interior waterproofing, or both, and the price can vary greatly. We recommend contacting a waterproofing specialist if you're planning to waterproof your foundation.

If you're building 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 give you a heads-up about any potential future issues. If your concerns are about an existing home, a few hundred dollars will cover 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.

It's also important that the moisture around your foundation is appropriate, particularly when the weather gets hot. Don't let the soil around your Enid home get too dry or too wet; at different times, you might find yourself having to reroute your gutters or water your foundation. Also, be on the lookout for leaky gutters or pipes, so you can get them repaired promptly.

Permits are needed for most foundation repairs, but applying for one should not be your responsibility. Your foundation repair provider should get all the permits and other documents required in Enid, and should be able to explain the process and/or provide the documents if asked.

It's a good idea to ask your foundation repair company about this issue before committing to any project. Generally, yes, you'll be able to remain at home while foundation repairs are underway.

We strongly suggest contacting your home insurance provider before you start any foundation project to determine what might be covered. Typically, foundation repairs aren't covered by home insurance unless they're to fix damage caused by a covered weather event.
