What Foundation Repair Actually Costs in Shreveport (2026)
Most foundation companies won’t publish numbers until you’re sitting across the kitchen table from them. We’d rather act like we have nothing to hide. These are real ranges from the kind of jobs we run across Caddo and Bossier parishes. Your exact number is always a fixed quote after the free inspection — never an estimate that grows.
Inspections & Diagnostics
| Item | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation inspection + written report | Free | Elevation survey, crack map, drainage review. |
| Rush report (real-estate deadlines) | Free | We set the appointment on the call and confirm the time with you. |
| Engineer-stamped structural design (when required) | Quoted per project | Coordinated with licensed structural engineers |
Crack & Cosmetic Repair
| Job | Typical Range | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic patch / sealant | Quoted on site | Crack length, access, paint matching |
| Urethane injection (per crack) | Quoted on site | Watertight flexible repair for active-shrinkage cracks |
| Epoxy structural injection | Quoted on site | Displaced or load-bearing cracks; includes cause check |
| Brick repointing (per section) | Quoted on site | After stabilization; mortar matched |
Pier-and-Beam & Crawl Space
| Job | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Spot releveling | Quoted on site | Limited-area jacking and shimming |
| Full-house releveling | Quoted on site | Most common scope for older Highland/Bossier homes |
| Sill plate / beam replacement | Quoted on site | Linear footage of rot; crawl space access |
| Pier replacement or added supports | Quoted on site | Quoted from the elevation survey |
| Vapor barrier | Quoted on site | Full ground coverage, sealed seams |
| Full crawl space encapsulation | Quoted on site | Sealed vents, insulation, dehumidification |
Slab Stabilization
| Job | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Void filling | Quoted on site | Restores support under sound slabs after soil pull-away |
| Mudjacking (flatwork) | Quoted on site | Driveways, walks, patios — not a structural fix |
| Exterior pier stabilization | Quoted on site | Corner or wall-line settlement |
| Interior + exterior pier system | Quoted on site | We explain the plan and the price before any work begins. |
Drainage
| Job | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Downspout extensions / burial | Quoted on site | Per line, discharged to daylight |
| Surface French drain | We'd rather quote from what we see on site than guess at a number over the phone. | Sheet-flow interception |
| Collector / footer drain | Cost depends on the soil, the structure, and what the inspection finds, so we quote after seeing the house. | Deeper interception; sump where needed |
| Regrading & swales | Quoted on site | Per problem area, sod restored |
Emergency Response
| Situation | Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency response call | Quoted on the phone | Before dispatch; credited toward permanent repair |
| Temporary stabilization | Quoted on site | Itemized; stands alone without obligation |
Why These Numbers Differ From National Averages
Clay and Moisture Drive the Method
- Expansive clay changes the method. Repairs here must get past the active soil zone — deeper piers, more lift points than shallow-soil markets.
- Moisture management is non-optional. Drainage scope is built into honest quotes on this soil; skipping it is how repairs fail early.
Access and Post-Tension Slabs
- Access is the wildcard. Tight side yards, attached patios, and interior pier locations add labor; crawl space height changes everything under a pier-and-beam home.
- Post-tension slabs in newer subdivisions require care (and locating cables) before any drilling — a real cost, honestly disclosed.
Our One Pricing Rule
🤝 Our pricing rule: if the inspection finds nothing worth repairing, the report says so and costs you nothing. If it finds something, you get one fixed number — approved by you before a single pier is driven.
