If you are noticing any symptoms of foundation problems, it is IMPERATIVE to get to the root of the issue as soon as possible, otherwise it can cost you in the long run. Having a solid foundation will actually SAVE you money in the future, increase the value of your home, and help you pass any home inspections you may need to do should you decide to sell your home. Many customers wind up repairing their foundation while working on other areas of the house and grounds, like upgrading their landscaping, installing new plumbing, removing asbestos, getting a new roof, or building a new room. Bundling projects in your home is one way we can create exclusive deals for our customers.

We do all types of foundation repair, including: ### Sister Foundations where a new foundation is installed along the inside of what you already have #### Replacement full foundation replacements ##### jack and lifts if areas of the home are sagging, we can jack and lift to improve evenness and structural stability ##### pile supported underpinning steel reinforced concrete is use to overlay soil and stop future settling ## Earthquake retrofits for older houses California's Earthquake Brace + Bolt program provides up to $3,000 toward a code-compliant seismic retrofit to a qualifying house. It covers wood-framed, pre-1980 homes with a raised foundation. A house with cripple walls gets a brace and bolt retrofit: the cripple walls are braced with plywood or OSB sheathing and the foundation is bolted to the wood frame of the house; a house without cripple walls gets the bolting only. The grant is a state program, not a Maingreen offer or price: homeowners register with the program while its registration is open, and whether a house qualifies depends on the house and its ZIP code. If foundation work is planned on an older raised-foundation house, check the [program's site](https://www.crmp.org/our-seismic-retrofit-programs/the-retrofits/ebb-retrofit) for the current rules. ## What sets the cost of foundation repair - The methodLeveling one corner is a different job from underpinning or replacing a whole foundation. - How much of the house is affectedOne wall, one room or the full perimeter. - AccessA roomy crawl space is faster to work in than a low one or a slab inside a finished room. - The causeA leak under the house or water draining toward it has to be fixed as part of the job. - Finishes afterwardsDrywall cracks, flooring and doors that need to be repaired once the house is level.
