$26,000 Foundation Repair Quote

[Frank Z.]

I'm in the Atlanta area and I got a quote from AquaGuard today for fixing the foundation of a house I'm interested in purchasing and it came out to $26,000. House is in pretty good shape outside of the foundation issues. 

The house is on a hill and the part on the lower side of the hill is sinking into the ground. So far it has sank about 2 inches at the worst corner.

AquaGuard recommended putting in about 18 piers as one side of the 3,100sqft house needs to be jacked up. Is this price reasonable?

Gotta ask ya, and I'm not being a smart alec, but if the foundation slipped 2 inches in 47 years it may not be a massive hurdle unless you're seeking to make it perfect (or the cracks look brand new).  Cracks can be sealed and a foundation stabilized without lifting the house and building pillars.  Certainly, there are others on here that may know better, but I would check with a few more foundation contractors and ask them for a cost to stabilize and repair from water leaks.
