Foundation Repair FAQ

Should I get a structural engineer involved?

Yes — before hiring a foundation contractor, consider hiring an independent structural engineer ($400–$1,000) to assess the problem and recommend solutions. This prevents upselling by contractors and ensures the right repair method is used.

Does homeowners insurance cover foundation repair?

Typically not. Standard homeowners insurance covers sudden events but not gradual settling or soil movement. Some causes — like plumbing leaks undermining the foundation — may be partially covered.
