We had an huge puddle in our basement the day I contacted these guys. Edgar was incredibly knowledgeable and the team worked incredibly hard.

Latest review:
We first called Fairney and Sons in April, 2024 regarding a small flood at the front of our basement. Bill arrived very promptly and gave us his verdict on the probable cause. We have had a fair amount of work done to address this issue a few years ago, but were never really satisfied with the company that we used. After some extensive discussion and consultation, we decided to go along with Bill's recommendations. The work was completed within a matter of a few days. The tradesmen were always on time, careful about clean up, polite and friendly. We were more than satisfied and went ahead with plans to renovate our bathroom sometime in November, using Fairney and Sons people. In July we found that we had more water in our basement. But this time at the back of the house, again in an area that had supposedly been sealed by the same, unnamed company that we had the misfortune to use before. We called Bill and he arrived promptly and arranged for work to proceed to solve this new issue. Unfortunately, our wooden deck had to be removed in order for the work to be completed on the back wall. Fairney and Sons came through with an excellent team of tradesmen and build us a lovely new deck as well as finally solving our basement water problems. In August we were faced with another water issue. Our bathroom began leaking water into our kitchen which we had renovated a few years ago at some considerable cost. Needless to say, we called Bill back and asked if he might move our bathroom renovation forward. He rearranged some of his work teams schedules and had a crew in by early October. We worked closely with Adam and Trevor as they guided us through the various stages of the transformation. Plumbers and tilers came by, all when they were scheduled to arrive. The work was completed efficiently and expertly. Everybody that we met that was associated with Fairney and Sons was very professional, respectful and a delight to have in our house. As part of the bathroom renovation, a vent had to be hooked up through our roof. Upon inspection it was pointed out that our chimney was in sore need of repair. We already knew about this and asked if Fairney and Sons could solve that problem as well, which, of course they could and did. This had been a bad summer for us, in terms of household distress. However, we feel very fortunate that we answered that flyer that was dropped in our mailbox all those months ago. Everybody associated with this company is reliable, friendly and professional. We certainly hope that we don't need their services in the future, but if we do, they will get the call. We highly recommend Fairney and Sons Ltd. for all of your home repair needs.

They excavated the necessary area without causing any damage and successfully fixed the issue. Once the work was completed, they left the site clean and organized, and the job was finished exactly as planned.

Latest review:
We purchased our home 5 years ago which had a finished basement with ceilings at a max height of 6'. We knew that we wanted to underpin and had several companies offer quotes, but we weren't comfortable with any of them until we had Daniel from True North come by to assess the property and offer a quote. Daniel was there for over an hour during his initial visit and took the time to explain the process to us, offer ideas, and point out where we may encounter issues during the process. He was incredibly thorough and personable which made us feel at ease. The quote he provided was not the lowest, but it was very detailed and included considerations for issues that sometimes come up during the underpinning process and estimates for what it may cost if we ran into those issues. The work was slightly delayed as we had to jump through an extra hoop with the city due to our property being on ravine land but once we got the permit from the city, Daniel's team was able to start work almost immediately. From day 1 the team was professional, responsible and courteous. They were on time every single day, and were kind to our young kids and our somewhat anxious dog. We were nervous about the process, but it became clear quickly that the team were experts in what they do, and they were always happy to have us come downstairs and explain what they were doing. Our house is >100 years old so we anticipated running into issues during the process, but in the end the only unforeseen issue was related to lead water pipes which were quickly identified and replaced by the team. The anticipated timeline for the project was 4-6 weeks and they finished in exactly 4 weeks. A professional and hard-working team, A+ customer service, work completed on budget and ahead of schedule. I don't know why you'd look anywhere else if you're planning an underpinning project!

Crack injection using epoxy or polyurethane to fill in small openings in your foundation.

Why You Should Hire a Pro for Foundation Repairs?

Foundation repairs are rarely a straightforward task. Incorrect or insufficient repairs can both lead to serious damage of your home and further increase the cost of repairs. Foundation repair specialists will have the skillset to properly address the issue.

Here are a few reasons hiring a pro for foundation repair services is a good call:

Proper diagnosis: A pro can look beyond visible symptoms to identify the root cause of foundation issues, whether that's soil movement, water infiltration, or structural settling.
Access to professional-grade materials and equipment: Professionals have access to tools and materials not available at most hardware stores, leading to more durable, longer-lasting repairs.
Warranty protection: Many contractors back their work with warranties, giving you recourse if problems return after the job is done.
Reduced risk: Foundation work directly affects your home's structural safety, so an improper repair can make things significantly worse and far more expensive to fix later.

Finding a foundation repair pro near you on HomeStars means getting it right the first time, protecting your home's value, your belongings, and your health.

How Much Do Foundation Repair Services Near Me Cost?

Foundation repair costs will vary based on the specific problem and the size of your home. Most foundation repair contractors will charge an overall quote, especially for larger jobs. Where hourly rates apply, foundation repair pros tend to charge around $75 to $150+ per hour.

Here are some typical costs for common foundation repair services near you:

Foundation crack repair costs: $300 to $800 per crack, depending on length and method used
Waterproofing and drainage systems: $3,000 to $15,000+, with interior solutions typically costing less than full exterior waterproofing
Underpinning: $1,000 to $3,000+ per pier, with most projects requiring multiple piers

If your foundation repair project is part of a larger basement renovation, you can also check out our guide to basement renovation costs.

HomeStars tip: Make sure to get everything written down in an itemized quote. This avoids misunderstandings and supports transparency and clear communication for both you and the contractor.

What to Ask Before You Hire a Foundation Repair Pro Near You

When choosing a foundation repair pro near you, asking the right questions can help you make an informed decision before hiring.

Here are a few questions to help you:

Do you carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage?

Foundation repair involves excavation, heavy equipment, and structural work. Confirm the contractor carries both liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage to protect you if something goes wrong on-site.

Will you handle permits if required?

Some foundation repairs, particularly underpinning or major structural work, may require a permit. Ask upfront who is responsible for pulling permits and whether the cost is included in your quote.

Can you provide references or reviews from past clients?

Foundation repair is a significant investment, and past client experiences can tell you a lot about a contractor's quality of work and reliability. Ask for references directly, or look for reviews on their HomeStars profiles to see honest feedback from homeowners in your area.

Will you do a full inspection before providing a quote?

A thorough on-site inspection is the only way to accurately diagnose foundation issues and price the work. Be cautious of contractors who provide quotes without seeing the problem in person.

What repair method do you recommend and why?

There are multiple approaches to fixing foundation issues, and the right one depends on the cause, severity, and your home's specific conditions. A good contractor will be able to clearly explain their recommended method, why it suits your situation, and how it compares to alternatives.

How long will the work take, and what disruption should I expect?

Foundation repairs can range from a few hours to several weeks depending on the scope. Ask about access requirements, noise, landscaping impact, and whether you'll need to vacate any part of your home during the project.

Do you offer a written warranty, and what does it cover?

A reputable contractor should stand behind their repairs. Ask what the warranty covers, how long it lasts, and what the process is if the issue returns after the job is complete.

FAQ: Your Questions About Foundation Repair Services Answered

Will I have to vacate my home during repairs?

In most cases, no. The majority of foundation repairs are completed without requiring you to leave your home. However, certain jobs involving heavy excavation, strong-smelling injection materials, or extended utility disruptions may require you to make other arrangements temporarily. Ask your contractor before work begins.

How long do foundation repairs last?

The lifespan of a foundation repair depends on the method used and the underlying cause. Crack injections can last decades if the source of movement is addressed, while waterproofing membranes typically carry warranties of 10 to 25 years. Underpinning, when done correctly, is considered a permanent solution.

How does foundation repair affect resale value?

A compromised foundation is one of the first things flagged by a home inspector, and it can significantly affect a buyer's offer or willingness to proceed. Addressing issues before listing removes a major red flag, supports a stronger asking price, and gives buyers confidence in the condition of the home.

When is the best time of year to book foundation repair?

Spring and summer are peak seasons for foundation work, as ground conditions are more favourable and contractors are in high demand. If you're planning a repair, it pays to book ahead. Find a foundation repair pro on HomeStars and secure your spot before the busy season.

Does homeowner's insurance cover foundation repair services?

In most cases, standard home insurance policies do not cover foundation repairs caused by settling, soil movement, or gradual deterioration. Coverage may apply if the damage is the result of a sudden, insured event like a burst pipe. Check your policy and speak with your insurer to understand what's included before assuming costs will be covered.
