Most times, not as much as you think. Foundation Repairs can be expensive but people usually think the worse. Over the years we have fixed many foundation problems for less than the homeowner had feared. Of course the only way to know is to do a through inspection and provide you with a NO OBLIGATION estimate. We have had situations were the fixes cost few hundred dollars to few thousands to tens of thousands. Each job is different and needs to be evaluated carefully. And if you have met with a company asking for that, run!
This is a primer we put together for the homeowner to becoming informed and make the correct decisions when undertaking any foundation repairs jobs. There is a saying in Dallas - "There are two types of homes, one with foundation problems, the other with foundation repairs". We could bore you with all sorts of chemical formulas and molecular diagrams but long story short is that expansive clays are the ability to absorb a lot of water, greatly expanding their volume and conversely, in times of drought, to shrink severely.
While doing foundation repairs in DFW for the last +30 years we have helped many home owners restore or upgrade their home's interiors and exteriors. We have designers and crews of experienced trades (carpenters, painters, plumbers, electricians.)
We know the area but more importantly we know the soil. With hundreds of foundation repairs and satisfied customers, both residential and commercial, there is very little we haven't fixed. Most home owners will only have to deal with foundation problems once in their lives. We deal with it everyday, in call different situations. From expansive soil (#1 reason), poor drainage, trees too close and tree roots too large, plumbing leaks, broken sprinkler lines, non working French drains and so on we have seen it all.
If you are here, you may think you might need foundation repairs. We highly suggest you get a reputable company out to pay a visit and talk about your situation. Waiting is not going to make things better. We can give you a clear idea on what needs to be done, how to pay for it and help you with a timeline. Sometime we can recommend other fixes and modification that can help your current situation and don't cost any or very little money.
