01The method

Crawl space supports, wall anchors, braces, piers and drainage all price differently. A job combining structural and water work costs more but tends to last.

02The house and lot

Steep lots, tight crawl spaces, finished basements and long distances from the driveway add labor. Shallow rock can change pier type.
