These foundation repair cost guides use different data. Some use quotes from homeowners, some use national surveys, and some mix small crack repairs with large pier jobs.
That is why a Columbia average can look low next to a pier job. A small repair costs far less than a full wall of piers. Use the ranges as a rough guide, then get a written scope for your own home.
