Foundation Repair in Southeast Michigan

Not every basement wall crack indicates a structural problem. Small shrinkage cracks are common in poured concrete foundations, but horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks, widening cracks, inward wall movement or cracks that allow water into the basement should be professionally evaluated.

The sooner movement is identified, the more options you may have to stabilize the wall and prevent additional damage. Our foundation inspection determines whether the crack is cosmetic, related to water intrusion or a sign of structural movement.

Yes. Foundation cracks and movement can create openings that allow water and moisture into your basement. However, repairing the structure does not always resolve every source of water intrusion.

During your inspection, we evaluate the foundation and the signs of moisture so we can determine whether you need structural repair, waterproofing or a combination of both. Addressing the correct source helps protect the foundation and create a drier, healthier basement.

Many foundation repair projects take one to two days once work begins, but the timeline depends on the problem and the repair system required.

A single crack repair may take less time than stabilizing a bowing or shifting basement wall. If the project also requires waterproofing, demolition, permits or restoration work, the overall timeline will be longer. Your project coordinator will explain the scope and expected schedule before work begins.

Foundation repair quotes can vary because contractors may identify different problems or recommend completely different solutions. One proposal may cover a crack repair, while another may include stabilizing an entire basement wall.

Before comparing prices, compare:

• What problem was diagnosed
• Which walls or cracks are included
• What repair system will be installed
• Whether permits and restoration are included
• What warranty is provided

The lowest quote is not necessarily the same solution. Make sure each contractor explains what is moving, why it is happening, and how the recommended repair will address it.

Based on foundation repair projects we completed over the past year and our current pricing, many projects range from $5,000 to $15,000.

The final cost depends on the type of problem, severity of the movement, size of the affected area, accessibility and repair system required. A localized crack repair and the stabilization of an entire basement wall are very different projects and should not be compared by price alone.

Our in-home inspection identifies the cause of the problem and provides a written repair recommendation and price for your home.   Learn More
