Foundation Repair Worth It?

[Lauren Peterson]

We moved into this single family home about 5 months ago. The inspection had revealed some cracks in the foundation, but nothing overly alarming. We plan to live here for the next 2-3 years and then sell it when the military moves our family again. We had a foundation company look at the home yesterday and there is about 1” difference in the highest and lowest part of the house. They are recommending piers for preventing future issues and quoted us 35k for the work. My question is: is this worth it? It’s a lot of money for us moving relatively soon and I don’t know what it would really provide in terms of value to the house. We were looking at adding a half bath but wouldn’t be able to do both with our current financial situation. I’m currently leaning toward the bathroom as being a better investment for this short term situation.
