How Can Sure Safe Repair Foundations for so Much Less?

Crawl space and raised foundation homes can often be amongst the most expensive to repair. We’ve known people who’ve received quotes for up to $100,000 for repairs from other contractors. However, Sure Safe can often make even better repairs on the same home for under $20,000. If that’s the case then why are the repair bids of other contractors so high, and how does Sure Safe do it for so much less? That’s what we’ll cover in this article.

Why are the repair bids of other contractors so high?

Homes with crawl space or raised foundations are often older and as a result are more likely to have foundation issues due to time and the age of the home. Shifting soil, water damage, termite damage, and a whole host of other issues are just more likely to have occurred the longer a home has been around.

However, if those were the only concern it still wouldn’t explain the high estimates for raised and crawl space foundation homes. No, the real time and financial cost comes because other contractors have to dig out the surrounding ground and re-level the soil underneath the home in order to make repairs. Crawl space and raised foundation homes rely on posts and piers placed on the ground below to support the weight of the home and protect it from outside forces on the home. Completely digging out a home and repositioning all of the supports to be in the optimal place can lead to crazy estimates in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Fortunately Sure Safe has the solution to this problem.
