Foundation repair services in Kansas City
The contractors we refer handle the common Kansas City foundation repairs. Price ranges below come from published Kansas City contractor price lists and national cost guides (checked October 19, 2026). They're planning ranges, not quotes; your contractor sets the actual price after an inspection.
Foundation piers (settling and sinking)
Steel push piers or helical piers driven to stable soil to stop settlement and, where possible, lift the house back toward level. Published KC prices run about $1,250–$2,500 per push pier and $1,800–$3,000 per helical pier, and most homes need 3–10.
Bowing and leaning basement walls
Carbon fiber straps, steel wall beams, or wall anchors and tiebacks. KC contractors publish $500–$800 per steel beam and $1,100–$1,500 per tieback; carbon fiber straps run about $300–$800 each.
Foundation crack repair
Epoxy or polyurethane injection for cracks that leak or go through the wall. About $250–$800 per crack nationally; one KC contractor lists $40–$50 per foot.
Slab leveling (mudjacking and polyjacking)
Lifting sunken concrete slabs, garage floors and walks. Roughly $3–$8 per sq ft for mudjacking and $5–$25 per sq ft for polyurethane foam.
Crawl space supports
Adjustable support jacks under sagging beams and bouncy floors, about $500–$1,000 per jack for basic installs; engineered systems with new footings cost more.
Drainage and waterproofing (often paired with structural work)
Interior drain tile at about $75–$90 per foot and sump pumps at $1,800–$2,000 installed, from one KC contractor's published rates.

How it works
-
Tell us about your foundation. Use the form: a sentence or two about what you're seeing is enough. Photos aren't needed yet.
-
We review it. A real person checks that you're in our service area and that it's a foundation repair request. No automated blasting to lists.
-
We try to connect you with one local contractor. If one serves your area, we pass your request to one independent foundation repair company. They contact you to schedule an inspection and quote.
-
You decide. The quote, contract, work and warranty are between you and the contractor. There's no obligation, and we never charge homeowners.
About us, plainly: KC Foundation Cost is an independent referral service. We're not a foundation repair company, an engineering firm or an inspector, and we don't do repairs. Contractors may pay us a fee for referrals. That's how the site is funded, and it doesn't change the cost information we publish. We pick contractors we're comfortable referring, but you should still check licensing, insurance, reviews and references yourself. How we work

Signs your foundation may need repair
Any of these is worth a professional look, especially if it's new or getting worse:
- Horizontal cracks in a basement wall, or a wall that leans or bows inward
- Stair-step cracks in block or brick that are widening
- Cracks wider than a pencil, or cracks that keep growing
- Doors and windows that suddenly stick or won't latch
- Gaps between walls and ceilings, or drywall cracks at door corners
- Sloping, sagging or bouncy floors
- Water coming through cracks or at the base of basement walls
- A chimney, porch or stoop pulling away from the house
Not sure what you're looking at? Use the foundation crack checklist to measure and record cracks. For significant or active movement, consider an independent structural engineer's evaluation.

Why foundation problems are so common in Kansas City
Kansas City contractors point to two causes: expansive clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and freeze-thaw winters with wet springs and dry summers. The ground around and under a foundation keeps moving, which shows up as cracks, settling and bowing walls, even in well-built homes. Controlling water with gutters, downspouts and grading helps a lot.
