COST OVERVIEW

WHAT DOES FOUNDATION REPAIR REALLY COST?

Foundation repair costs in the Finger Lakes typically range from $2,500 to $15,000 for most residential projects. Minor crack repairs start around $300, while major structural repairs can exceed $40,000.

The wide range exists because every foundation is different. A simple crack injection takes an hour; stabilizing a bowing wall with anchors takes days. We believe in transparent pricing — no surprises, no hidden fees.

National Average vs. Finger Lakes

The national average for foundation repair is around $4,500. Finger Lakes costs are similar, though our clay-heavy soils and freeze-thaw cycles sometimes require additional drainage work.

FACTORS

WHAT AFFECTS YOUR COST?

🔍

Type of Damage

Simple cracks cost less than bowing walls or foundation settling. Structural issues requiring piers or anchors are more expensive than surface repairs.

📏

Extent of Damage

A single crack vs. multiple cracks. One wall vs. the entire foundation. Early-stage problems are almost always cheaper to fix.

🏠

Foundation Type

Poured concrete, block, stone, or brick foundations each require different repair methods and materials with varying costs.

🚪

Accessibility

Easy basement access is cheaper than crawl space work. Exterior excavation adds cost. Tight spaces or obstacles increase labor time.

🌍

Soil Conditions

Finger Lakes clay soils often require more extensive drainage solutions. High water tables may need waterproofing alongside structural repairs.

🔧

Carbon fiber is often cheaper than wall anchors. Polyurethane injection costs less than epoxy. The right method depends on your specific situation.

Foundation Repair Cost FAQs

The variation comes from damage severity, repair method needed, foundation type, and accessibility. That's why we always recommend a free inspection to get an accurate estimate.
