Irving Foundation Repair Pros helps homeowners understand foundation repair cost in Irving, TX before they talk to a contractor, and connects them with an independent local company for a written estimate.
Foundation repair prices vary more than most home repairs because no two houses move the same way. The figures below are published ranges, not quotes. Your number depends on what an inspection finds.
Published Price Ranges
- Average foundation repair: Angi's cost guide (last updated May 2022) puts the average around $4,530, with most repairs between about $2,010 and $7,060.
- Piers: about $1,000 to $3,000 each, according to the same guide.
- Mudjacking or slab jacking: about $500 to $1,300.
- Crack repair: as little as about $250 for minor cracks, around $800 for major ones.
- Structural engineer's report: about $300 to $1,000.
- Permits: an average of about $75 to $150, where required.
Texas jobs often run higher than national averages. A 2026 roundup of contractor-reported jobs put the average booked foundation repair at $11,117 in Dallas, $7,854 in Houston and $13,798 in Austin. Those are averages of real jobs, which include large repairs, so a small job can cost far less.
What Drives the Price
- Number of piers: the biggest single factor on most slab jobs.
- Pier type: pressed concrete, steel and drilled piers cost different amounts per pier.
- Interior piers: tunneling under the slab or cutting through floors adds cost.
- Access: tight side yards, decks, patios and landscaping slow the work.
- Extras: plumbing tests, drainage, root barriers, engineer reports and permits.
How to Compare Quotes
Two quotes for "foundation repair" can describe very different jobs. Put them side by side and compare:
- Number, type and location of piers, on a drawing if possible
- Whether interior piers are included or just exterior
- Elevation readings before and after
- Plumbing testing, permit fees and cleanup
- The written warranty: length, what it covers, whether it transfers to a buyer
When the Cheapest Quote Costs More
A quote with fewer piers may lift less of the house, and a warranty that cannot transfer may make the house harder to sell. Ask each contractor to explain why they chose their pier count.
Paying for the Job
Ask how payment is scheduled before you sign. Some companies take a deposit and the balance on completion; others bill in stages. Get the schedule in writing with the estimate.
Common questions
How much does foundation repair cost in Irving?
Published guides put most repairs between a few thousand and roughly $11,000, with large jobs above that. Angi's average is about $4,530, and a 2026 roundup of contractor-reported jobs put the Dallas average at $11,117. Your price depends on the number of piers and what else the house needs.
Does homeowners insurance cover foundation repair?
Policies vary, and many exclude settling caused by soil movement. Coverage can be different when a sudden plumbing leak causes the damage. Read your policy or ask your agent before assuming either way.
Is financing available?
Some foundation companies offer payment plans or financing. Ask the company that inspects your house; we do not arrange financing.
Why do two foundation quotes differ so much?
Usually because they describe different jobs: a different number of piers, a different pier type, interior piers on one quote and not the other, or extras like plumbing tests and permits. Compare the details line by line, not just the total.
Do I pay for the inspection?
Many local foundation companies advertise free inspections, while engineer's reports usually cost money. Angi's guide puts a structural report at about $300 to $1,000. Ask the company that calls you about their policy.
