FAQs from Birmingham Homeowners
How do I know if I have a foundation problem?
Common signs of foundation problems include cracks in your walls or floors, sticking doors, uneven floors, and bowing walls. If something feels off, it’s worth having us come out for a free inspection.
How much does foundation repair cost in Birmingham?
Foundation repair costs vary from home to home, depending on the issue, how long it will take to fix, and the materials needed. That’s why we start with a conversation and free inspection and offer a no-obligation estimate.
Does homeowners’ insurance cover foundation repair?
Homeowners insurance may cover foundation repair under certain circumstances, such as the damage being caused by a sudden event like a burst pipe, fire, or certain kinds of storm damage; however, if it’s due to nature/natural causes (gradual foundation settlement, soil movement, etc.), poor drainage or construction, or wear and tear, homeowners insurance usually doesn’t cover it.
How long does foundation repair take?
Depending on the scope of work, most foundation repair jobs take between 1 and 4 days. We will provide a timeline with the estimate so you know what to expect, and our team members check in every day to let you know how the job is progressing.

Yes, in most cases, our foundation repairs come with a transferable warranty. So even if you sell your home, the next homeowner can access the same protection.
