Price level = BEA Regional Price Parities 2023, all items (U.S. = 100). Factor = 1 + 0.6 × (price level / 100 − 1): labor and materials don't move fully with the general price level, so the adjustment is damped. Every national figure is multiplied by it.

How the calculator works
- Each repair has a national installed-price range from the sources in the table above (per crack, per pier, per foot of wall, per sq ft or per project).
- For per-unit repairs, the range is multiplied by your quantity; mudjacking and polyjacking never go below the usual $300–$700 minimum job.
- For whole projects, "smaller" uses the lower half of the range, "typical" the full range and "larger" the upper half.
- Everything is multiplied by your state's factor. Optional extras (inspection, engineer report, permit) are added on top.
The previous version of this page used national figures only and a general "severity" multiplier without a stated source. It has been replaced by sourced ranges per repair and a documented state adjustment.
What drives foundation repair cost
- Number of piers or anchors: the single biggest factor for settlement and bowing walls.
- Depth to firm soil: deeper piers cost more per foot.
- Access: work inside a finished basement or under a low crawl space takes longer.
- Excavation and restoration: patios, driveways and landscaping that must be removed and replaced.
- Engineering and permits: often required for structural work.
- Water: drainage problems usually need fixing at the same time.
Affordable foundation repair: ways to spend less
- Fix the water first. Gutters, downspout extensions and grading away from the house are cheap and remove a common cause of settlement and leaks.
- Act early. A crack sealed for $250–$800 is cheaper than stabilizing a wall that has kept moving.
- Compare the same scope. Ask every company for the method, the number of piers or anchors and the depth, so quotes can be compared line by line.
- Consider an independent engineer. A $300–$750 inspection can confirm whether a large repair is needed at all.
- Ask about the warranty and financing. Many companies publish both on their websites; we quote them on each company page.

How do I know if a foundation repair quote is fair?
Compare the same scope (number of piers or feet of wall, method, warranty) and use the quote checker. A very low price often leaves out depth, permits or restoration.
Does homeowners insurance pay for foundation repair?
Standard homeowners policies usually exclude settling, cracking and earth movement. Damage can be covered when it's caused by a covered event, such as a sudden plumbing leak - read your policy and ask your insurer before work starts.
