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 root 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 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 depends on how many piers are needed.

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

If you're building a new home, have a soil report done. This report contains information about how well the soil on a given piece of land can support a foundation, and can provide you with a heads-up about any 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. They can alert you to any current problems that need attention, and advise you on avoiding future problems.

It's also important that the moisture around your foundation is at an appropriate level, particularly when the weather gets hot. Don't let the soil around your Moore home get too dry or too wet; at different times, you might find yourself having to reroute your gutters or water your foundation. You should also stay vigilant for leaky gutters or pipes so you can get them repaired quickly.

Some indicators that your foundation needs waterproofing include uneven floors, basement flooding, white powder or spots on your walls, hairline cracks, discoloration or odors, or signs of mold, fungus, or mildew. 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 often involves measures like applying physical barriers to basements and crawl spaces, installing exterior drains, or making landscape changes.

The amount of time foundation repairs will take varies greatly based on the kind of repair required and the size of your house. Most repairs take anywhere from one to several weeks. You should speak with your Moore foundation repair professional for a more specific timeline for your project.
