You are probably here because you were unfortunate enough to find a crack in the foundation of your home or have noticed that windows and doors aren’t shutting properly. You know there is most likely a foundation problem, but you also want to calm your nerves by understanding just how much it’s going to cost you to repair.

Unfortunately through most of your searches, you’ve probably noticed not too many places give you a foundation repair cost range. Each and every foundation repair job is independent of the last job and therefore, will always need to be evaluated by a foundation repair specialist in your area. At Intech Anchoring, we have representatives who will gladly come to your home and give you a completely free estimate by calling us at 800-223-7015 or by filling out one of the many forms on the site.

We don’t provide initial set price ranges for foundation repair costs because of the varying degree of circumstances. However, we can give you an overall understanding, highlighting four factors that affect the total cost of repairing your foundation.

Type of Foundation

The first factor that affects the cost of your foundation repair is the type of foundation on which your home currently sits. There are three main types of foundations: slab, pier and beam, and piling. Each foundation comes with its own set of variables that can affect the price of a repair. The difference in design, material, and amount of materials can greatly affect the overall price and can only be determined after examining your foundation.

Soil Quality

Soil quality can be a huge factor in determining the stability of your foundation. The four most common elements affecting soil quality are type (sandy, clay, or silt), moisture, frost and heave, and the settling of the soil under the foundation. Proper drainage also plays a significant role in the stability of the soil under your foundation. Erosion can occur underneath your home with improper drainage causing your home to have a sinking foundation.

Building Size and Use

Larger homes require more materials to make the necessary repairs to their foundations. Also with a larger home, there is more weight to bear and complexity to the structure.

Existing Damage to Your Foundation

Another big factor could be how much damage the home has already received. Bowing walls, large cracks in your ceiling and walls, as well as doors failing to open and close properly, are all clear indications of a foundation problem that needs immediate attention.

Remember, you can call Intech Anchoring at 800-223-7015 or contact us through the form and we will be there to answer your questions about your foundation repair. A reputable contractor can do wonders in saving your home’s foundation with your best interest in mind. Your home is one of the biggest investments of your life and small cracks in the foundation can soon mean large problems to the health of your home if not addressed promptly.
