Foundation and House Leveling
House leveling pier and beam foundations is done by making small excavations along the foundation with an engineered piering system and adjusting the piers or installing new ones. Once the piers are adjusted or installed, the foundation is lifted and leveled using a synchronized hydraulic lifting system to restore the foundation level.
What can lead to a sinking foundation?
There are many different things that can lead to a sinking or sagging home: foundation erosion, plumbing leaks, poor exterior drainage, intrusive tree roots, volatile soil condition, and structural damage. While house leveling can usually correct that problem, it is important to first address the source of the problem to prevent similar damage in the future.

When should you consider foundation leveling?
Over time, your home’s foundation will inevitably settle, sinking further into the ground as the soil changes and the structure of the home adjusts. While this happens to all homes eventually, it can also raise urgent problems and should not be ignored.
When this happens, it’s important to level the house, a process that can be done through concrete slab leveling, with push piers, or helical piers. House leveling is the process of lifting a home as close to the original foundation as possible and performing foundation repair.
How much does house leveling cost?
In Virginia, prices for pier and beam foundation leveling can generally range between $2,000 to $7,000. The price is dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to:
- Your specific location
- The number of piers required
- The type of foundation
- The underlying problem
- The severity of that underlying problem
