Foundation repair in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Foundation repair covers any fix that restores support to your home: sealing structural cracks, bracing bowing walls, supporting settled footings, and rebuilding failed sections. Metro Detroit clay soils swell when wet and shrink in drought, and many homes have aging block walls, so movement is common.
The right method depends on the cause. Walls pushed inward need bowing wall repair; a corner that is sinking may need piers or underpinning; many cracks only need crack repair. Water is often part of the problem too.
Before a large repair, consider an independent structural engineer evaluation so the scope is set by someone who does not sell the work.
What a proper job includes
- An inspection that identifies the cause, not just the symptom
- A written scope naming the method, locations and quantities
- Engineering drawings when required by the building department
- Building permit and scheduled inspections
- MISS DIG 811 request before any exterior digging
- Protection and cleanup of work areas inside and out
- Written warranty stating whether it transfers to a buyer
What drives the price
- Repair method: crack injection, straps, anchors, piers or rebuild
- Number of walls, piers or anchors required
- Depth to stable soil for piers
- Access inside and outside the home
- Finished basements or utilities that must be moved
- Engineering and permit requirements
- Drainage or waterproofing added to the job

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Structural foundation work is covered by the Michigan Residential Builder license. State rules let ordinary repairs skip a permit only when they do not alter structural parts, so expect a building permit from the local building department (BSEED in Detroit). The building official may also ask for a design from a Michigan-licensed professional engineer.
Exterior excavation needs a free MISS DIG 811 locate request at least 3 business days before digging. Verify the license on the LARA lookup and get the permit number before work starts.
