Start with what you are seeing
Most people do not call about “the foundation.” They call about a crack that keeps getting longer, a bedroom door that will not close, or a floor that tilts toward the hallway. Pick the closest match.

Slab or pier and beam: the first question
A house either sits on a concrete slab or on piers over a crawl space, and the two are repaired in different ways. If you can open a vent or a hatch and see under the floor, it is pier and beam. If you cannot, it is probably a slab — a specialist will confirm either way.
Published foundation repair ranges
Three rows come from published Shreveport cost guides; the pier and pier-and-beam rows are national figures, marked as such. None of them is a quote. Where a house lands depends on what the evaluation finds and how much of it the quote has to fix.
| Job | Published range | Scope | What moves it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minor crack repair & basic waterproofing | $1,900–$3,800per job | Shreveport | Crack count and length, and whether moisture work is included. |
| Major repair (underpinning, piers) | $2,300–$23,900per job | Shreveport | How many piers, how deep, and how far the house has to come back. |
| French drain | $24–$37per linear foot | Shreveport | Length, depth, and where the water is sent. |
| Steel push pier | $990–$1,350per pier | National | Depth to bearing and access around the house. |
| Helical pier | $3,500–$4,400per pier | National | Depth, soil, and the load at that point. |
| Pier-and-beam repair | $1,500–$15,000per job | National | Rotted sills or beams, pier condition, crawl-space access. |
| Pier-and-beam leveling | $1,500–$10,000per job | National | Method, number of support points, and how far out of level. |
Rows marked “Shreveport” come from published Shreveport cost guides. Rows marked “National” come from published national cost guides, not Shreveport figures. These are published ranges, not quotes and not our prices — we do not price or perform work. A real number comes only from a specialist evaluating the house.
The Shreveport foundation repair cost guide works through examples — a run of French drain, a set of piers — and explains why two honest bids on the same house can differ.
Four lines every foundation quote should show
A lump-sum price tells you what you will pay, not what you are paying for. Whoever evaluates the house, ask for the quote broken out like this:
- 1Evaluation findingsWhat was measured and found — elevation readings, crack locations, construction type, likely cause.
- 2Drainage / moisture correctionGutters, grading, downspouts, or crawlspace moisture work that addresses why the soil is moving.
- 3Structural repairPiers, shims, or sill and beam replacement — with counts, locations, and depths stated.
- 4Finish / cosmeticDrywall, brick, trim, and door adjustments after the house moves — priced on its own line.
The drainage line matters as much as the structural one — see drainage and crawl space work for why water is usually part of the story.

Common questions
Do you repair foundations yourselves?
No. We connect Shreveport-area homeowners with a local foundation specialist. We don't do the work — we route your request to one specialist who does. The evaluation, the written quote, the contract, and any warranty are between you and that specialist.
How much does foundation repair cost in Shreveport?
Published Shreveport ranges run $1,900 to $3,800 for minor crack repair and basic waterproofing, and $2,300 to $23,900 for major repairs that need piers or underpinning. These are published ranges, not quotes — a real number comes only after a specialist evaluates the house.
What do foundation piers cost?
Published national ranges put steel push piers at $990 to $1,350 per pier and helical piers at $3,500 to $4,400 per pier. These are national figures, not Shreveport prices, and the number of piers a house needs is set by the evaluation.
What should a foundation quote itemize?
Four separate lines: evaluation findings, drainage / moisture correction, structural repair, finish / cosmetic. When those are folded into one number, you cannot see what is included or compare two bids.
Is there a charge for the referral?
There is no charge to you for the referral. Whether the specialist charges for the evaluation is a question to ask them before they come out.
Which areas do you cover?
Shreveport and the communities around it in Caddo Parish and Bossier Parish parishes — including Bossier City, Benton, Haughton, Greenwood, Blanchard.
