Our Ranking Methodology

We aim to make our process as thorough as possible. Using machine learning and natural language processing, we collected and analyzed data of over 20,000 companies nationwide. We extracted the highlights and lowlights for each company and scored them using a variety of review criteria, including:

• Experience: We look for companies with experience in their field, and companies that employ high-quality contractors. We also look for experience with various types of foundation repairs or installations.
• Service area: It's important that a company recommended for Oklahoma City homeowners serves that area. Higher scores are also given to companies with larger service areas.
• Customer experience: We analyze customer reviews to determine how satisfied customers are with the company.
• Accreditation: Proper licensing and well-educated professionals help boost a company's rating. We consider whether a company meets all of licensing requirements for Oklahoma and whether it is properly insured.
• Pros and cons: We use the collected information to sort out pros and cons, such as customer satisfaction, experience with certain services, availability, and price. We then use these pros and cons to weigh a company's score.

After we score companies, we map them based on service area in order to show you only the most relevant providers.

• Inspection and Estimate Process: Before getting any foundation repairs, you need to understand the underlying issue and what is required. Your local foundation repair company should offer free inspections and estimates so that you and they can both discover what will be needed.
• Warranties: A trustworthy company will have some type of warranty for their work. It's a good idea to ask your company about their policies before you sign a contract.
• Licensing and Insurance: The company you choose should meet the general contractor licensing requirements in Oklahoma. They should also have, at minimum, general liability insurance.
• Cost: Foundation repair projects can be complicated and expensive, and costs can vary significantly depending on what you need done. It's a good idea to ask for quotes from multiple repair companies before hiring one. Be wary of companies with very high or low quotes.
• Structural Engineer Partnerships: Many foundation repair companies maintain partnerships with structural engineers. For a few hundred dollars, structural engineers conduct third-party inspections of your property and give feedback on the repair plan. If your foundation repair company doesn't have this kind of partnership in place, you can hire a structural engineer yourself.

Cost of Foundation Repair Oklahoma City

The amount you'll pay for foundation repair in Oklahoma City depends on certain factors, including:

• Home Size: Your foundation's size will influence repair costs. A bigger foundation will usually have a larger bill.
• Accessibility and Foundation Type: The accessibility of your foundation will affect the cost of repairs. Your foundation type will also play a role, whether you have a concrete slab, basement, crawl space, or some other type.
• Severity of Issue: The amount you spend on repairs will be affected by how severe the issue is and how much work will be needed to fix it. If you need to fix only a minor crack, you'll spend less than if your foundation needs major waterproofing.
• Soil Stability and Foundation Settlement: Repairs may end up being more expensive if the soil around your foundation is less stable. More severe foundation settlement is likely to require more costly repairs.
• Labor and Materials: The total amount you pay for foundation repairs will be affected by labor and materials cost for your specific job. Foundation repair will cost around $149.28 hourly.
• Permits: If you only need a minor job like crack repair done, you might not need permission from Oklahoma City's government. For bigger jobs like underpinning, your company will have to purchase a permit. This cost can vary based on the type of work being done, and starts around $150.

Types of Foundation Repair

The exact kind of repair that you need will also affect the cost of foundation repair. More minor repairs include services such as crack repair, while something like waterproofing is a bigger, more complex job. You can employ a local foundation repair expert for services such as:

• Leak Repair: Leak repair may be required for a variety of reasons, and how much you end up paying will vary depending on the precise issue and the number of leaks that need repairing. Your local foundation repair technician can perform an inspection, determine the cause of the leak, and recommend measures to repair it. The price for leak repair can be extremely variable, but you can expect to pay $3,650 on average.
• Piering / Underpinning / Leveling: These terms refer to the process of having your foundation leveled via the use of (normally concrete) piers, which are pinned underneath your foundation to support and level it. Your foundation might need this if you notice floor or wall cracks, uneven floors, misaligned windows or doors, or your property leaning to one side. This process can be expensive, but is often necessary, and it can be very helpful in preventing future problems. The total cost to you will depend mainly on how many piers are used — typically, you can anticipate paying around $1,978.
• Stabilization: Some signs of wall bowing are leaning chimneys or porches, uneven floors, visible bulging of walls, doors and windows that are difficult to shut, and horizontal cracks on walls. This issue can often be fixed through stabilization. In this process, your foundation repair technician will insert steel or carbon fiber strips into your walls to support them. The amount you pay will be based on the materials used and how many strips are installed. Generally, you can expect to pay around $3,853.
• Waterproofing: Waterproofing can be costly, but this fix can both resolve and prevent various foundation issues. As a part of this process, your foundation repair technician might make small changes such as rerouting your gutter system, or large ones like modifying your landscaping. Typically, homeowners spend $4,056 on waterproofing.
• Crack Repair: We recommend calling a professional anytime you notice cracks in your foundation bigger than a hairline. They can conduct an inspection to determine the underlying cause of the crack and figure out the best course of action. The amount you pay for services will vary depending on the size and number of cracks, and whether additional services, such as leveling or stabilization, are needed. You can typically expect to pay about $429 for crack repair.
