What BedrockBearing can help with

BedrockBearing is a free matching service for homeowners in the US. We are built for people who want clear next steps, including new immigrants and non-native English speakers.

When you contact us, we can help you:

• describe what you are seeing in simple words
• understand common warning signs and what questions to ask
• learn typical repair cost ranges and estimates, not quotes
• get matched, at no cost to you, with licensed and insured foundation repair companies
• prepare to compare estimates so you stay in control

We do not inspect your home, diagnose the cause, design repairs, pull permits, or perform the work. We are not a structural engineer, geotechnical engineer, home inspector, lawyer, lender, or contractor.

Before you hire any repair company, we strongly recommend an independent, licensed structural engineer who does not also sell the repair. That separate opinion can protect you from paying for work you may not need. Learn why here: independent structural engineer evaluation.

What to send us when you reach out

You do not need technical words. Just tell us what you are seeing.

Helpful details include:

1. Your contact info: name, phone, email, property ZIP code
2. What changed: new cracks, wider cracks, doors not closing, floor slope, wall movement, water intrusion, gaps around windows, chimney separation
3. Where it is happening: basement, crawl space, slab, garage, outside brick, retaining wall
4. When you noticed it: after heavy rain, over time, after drought, after plumbing leak, after nearby construction
5. Photos if available: close-up and wide shots, plus something for scale like a coin or tape measure

You can also review common signs here: foundation warning signs.

Please do not send sensitive information like Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or full financial records. We only need basic contact details and what you are observing at the home.

What we cannot do by message or phone

We want to be honest with you.

A crack photo or short description is not enough to tell you exactly what repair is needed. Different problems can look similar. Real price and scope depend on the cause, the soil and site conditions, access, the method required, and your area.

Typical ranges homeowners often see are:

• crack injection: $300-$2,500
• slabjacking or foam lifting for a typical area: $600-$3,500
• steel push or helical piers: about $1,200-$3,000 per pier, with many jobs needing 8-12 piers for totals around $10,000-$30,000+
• bowing-wall stabilization: $4,000-$15,000+
• basement waterproofing or drainage: $2,000-$12,000
• independent structural engineer report: often $400-$1,200

Those are estimates only, never bids or guarantees. If you want a bigger picture on pricing, see typical foundation repair costs.

If a wall is actively moving, a crack is opening quickly, a column or beam looks like it may fail, or you see signs of imminent collapse, leave the area and contact a licensed structural engineer or your local building department right away.

How the matching process works

Our process is simple and free to the homeowner.

1. You contact us and describe the problem in plain language.
2. We review the basics of what you are seeing and your location.
3. If you want, we match you with licensed, insured foundation repair pros who serve your area.
4. You compare estimates and ask questions.
5. You choose who to hire. You are in control the whole time.

A few smart rules can save you money and stress:

• Get an independent structural engineer evaluation first, especially for major movement, bowing walls, piering, or high-dollar proposals.
• Hire only licensed and insured contractors and verify the license and insurance yourself.
• Get the scope, method, materials, price, and warranty in writing before any deposit.
• Follow local permits and building code.
• Hold final payment until the agreed work is complete.

If you are ready, you can start here: get matched. If you want help checking a contractor before signing, read how to vet a foundation contractor.

Good reasons to contact us now

You do not need to wait until the problem is huge.

Contact us if:

• you found a crack and do not know whether to watch it or act now
• a contractor already gave you a big repair proposal and you want a calmer second step
• you are getting confusing answers from different companies
• English is not your first language and you want a simple explanation of the process
• you want to understand the difference between crack repair, waterproofing, wall stabilization, and piering

The goal is not to rush you. The goal is to help you slow down, get the right evaluation, compare options, and avoid paying for the wrong fix.
