11 Best Foundation Companies in Levittown, PA

On average, Levittown homeowners pay about $3,051 for foundation repair, although the cost will change based on several factors. The best way to get an estimate for the cost of your specific job is to get quotes from one or more local foundation repair companies. The total price will be influenced by things like the size of your house and type of repair(s) needed.

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, perform an inspection, and use various repair techniques to remedy leaks or cracks. The cost of these procedures can vary greatly depending on the size and cause of the problem.

Stabilization helps to fix 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 needed.

If you're looking to waterproof your foundation or basement, we suggest looking for a waterproofing specialist. This process can include outdoor waterproofing, indoor waterproofing, or both.

If you're building a new home, make sure that a soil report is completed. This report contains information regarding how well your soil can support a foundation, and can give you a heads-up about potential future issues. If you have concerns 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.

You also want to make sure that the moisture around your foundation is appropriate. As Levittown sees more rain than many other places, keep an eye on your gutters and landscaping to make sure too much water isn't getting into your soil or foundation. You should also stay vigilant for leaky gutters or pipes and repair them promptly.

Foundation repair usually requires a permit, but acquiring one won't be your responsibility. Your foundation repair provider should put together the permit and all other documents required in Levittown, and should be able to explain the process and/or provide the documents if asked.

In general, home insurance doesn't cover foundation repairs, except for those done to repair damage caused by a covered weather event. We highly recommend talking to your home insurance company before starting any foundation repairs.

Typically, foundation repair projects will take from one to several weeks. The range is wide because the amount of time required will vary greatly depending on factors like the type of repair needed and the size of your house. You should confer with your Levittown foundation repair expert for a more accurate timeline for your specific project.
