Also, you will need to verify the bearing capacity of the underlying native soils into which you plan to bear the piers.If my assumption(s) is correct, this type of repair could easily run to 50-100K.

I know the homeowner(s) are responsible for fixing it even though the break is under a road (owner is responsible from their house to wherever it meets the main municipal connection even if it runs under public road).

Age/condition: It's unlikely someone has put enough work into an 80's model home to justify getting $13,000.

I've got decent credit (however, I've got roughly 84% UTL on my credit cards, which is going to drag my scores down to the low to mid 600's.)I could easily pay off the balance, but then that would eat into my cash to invest.
