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 leveling or piering, is when a contractor levels your foundation by underpinning it with large concrete piers. The amount you can expect to spend depends on how many piers are required. The price of stabilization varies similarly. This process reinforces bowing walls with steel or carbon fiber strips, and the total cost will depend on the material chosen and how many strips are used.

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

Indicators that you are in need of foundation waterproofing include discoloration or odors, uneven floors, basement flooding, hairline cracks, white powder or spots on your walls, or signs of fungus, mildew, or mold. 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 can involve applying physical barriers to crawl spaces and basements, installing exterior drains, or changing your landscaping.

Permits are needed for most foundation repairs, but obtaining one is not your responsibility. Your foundation repair professional should obtain the permit and all other documents required in The Colony, and they should be able to explain the process and/or provide the documents before starting work.

Foundation repairs completed by a trustworthy company should last a long time. Some more extensive repairs, such as basement waterproofing, can be rather involved and expensive, but they go a long way toward mitigating the risk of future issues.
