How much does it cost to repair a foundation?

Here is how the price adds up, by problem, foundation type, repair method, and size.

The complexity of the problem

The more serious the damage, the higher the cost. Angi's national averages by type of issue:

• Foundation cracks: $250 to $800
• Foundation leaks: $2,000 to $7,000
• Bowing walls: $4,000 to $12,000
• Foundation reinforcement: $1,000 to $5,000
• Home settling or sinking: $5,000 to $25,000, depending on the extent of the damage and the soil
• Poor soil drainage: $800 to $15,000

The type of foundation

What you are working with changes the price too. A concrete slab and a pier and beam foundation both have wide ranges, because the same foundation can need a small crack repair or a full lift.

Soil, location, and the repair method

Expanding, contracting, and settling soil is best solved by transferring the home's weight to steel push piers or helical piers. If the cause is not obvious, Angi puts a soil report from a geotechnical engineer at $500 to $3,000.

Common repair methods and their national average costs, per Angi: hydraulic piers $1,000 to $3,000 per pier, reinforcement strips $4,000 to $12,000, and a drainage system for poor drainage $2,800 to $6,500. That pier price is for each pier, not the whole job: a whole-home repair usually takes several piers, so the total is higher.

Cost per square foot

Angi puts foundation repair at $1.50 to $12 per square foot nationally. At that rate a 1,000 square foot foundation runs $1,500 to $12,000, and a 2,000 square foot one $3,000 to $24,000. The range is wide because it spans everything from minor sealant work to full epoxy replacement, so treat it as a rough guide.

Foam lifting a sunken slab

Polyurethane foam lifting, also called polyjacking, raises a sunken slab by injecting foam beneath it. Angi's 2026 national average is $3,000 to lift a 300 square foot section, and most homeowners pay $1,500 to $4,500. The price runs $5 to $25 per square foot, and a slab foundation sits at the top of that range, about $25 per square foot, because enclosed or load-bearing slabs take extra labor to reach.

Labor, permits, and reports

Labor varies with the complexity of the job, and Angi puts foundation repair labor around $200 per hour nationally. Permits average $75 to $150, and an independent structural report runs $300 to $1,000 if you want a second opinion before you compare quotes.
