Foundation Repair

[Account Closed]

Hello All, 

We are investors in the Houston area and are putting an offer down on a property. This property does seem to have some foundation issues, and we are wondering what is the general costs for these types of repairs. We are new to this and so not sure how much to budget in our repairs. We are generally conservative so I'm thinking at least $10K and we will be getting a bid for the repair next week, but just wanted to see if anyone can give us a reasonable range for the houston area. 

Thanks

Craig

Minimum costs if nothing breaks while lifting:

Engineer : $400-$500

$150-$225 per pier.  

The number of piers is going to be based on what the engineer says.  You did not mention the size of the house or what parts of the house have foundation issues.  The pier spacing can vary.  is the house sloping in towards the center?  This can greatly increase the cost.  If its the edges that are dropping it might not be to bad.
