It is obvious that a contractor will be hired to repair the damages and the cost of the repair depends on the type of contractor you opt for.
Before giving contract to any one contractor, it is better that you consult three to four contractors and find out which one will suit your budget fulfilling all your needs. The inspections of the foundation by contractor will cost you around $300 to $800.
