You see the written price before you apply for anything. The scope comes from a measured elevation survey, not a phone guess. You can stop at any point without owing us a dollar.
Identity, income, property, and the job cost. The form is usually one page, and nothing on it commits you before you see the offer.
Some lenders use a soft credit pull to show options and a hard pull only on acceptance. Ask which applies.

Start with the floor, then make the lender show the real number. An $8,000 repair over 60 months is $133.33 a month at zero interest. Interest and fees push it higher, so treat that as a sanity check, not a quote.
Ask the lender to put all six in writing:
We quote no rate here, because we do not set one.
| Repair scope | Typical Central TX range | Financing horizon considered |
|---|---|---|
| Minor crack repair or sealing | $500-$2,500 | 12-24 months |
| Drainage correction or French drain | $1,500-$6,000 | 12-36 months |
| Partial pier work, one settled side | $3,000-$9,000 | 24-48 months |
| Whole-home slab or pier-and-beam leveling | $4,500-$12,000 | 36-60 months |
| Full underpinning, widespread settlement | $10,000-$30,000 | 60-120 months |
The right column is what homeowners commonly ask about – not an offer, and not a term we control. Full breakdown on our foundation repair cost in Waco page.

The repair is identical either way, and so is the warranty. Same pier type, pier count, lift, and tiered transferable lifetime coverage on qualifying work.
Cash makes sense if you have reserves you are comfortable spending. Financing makes sense when one check would drain an emergency fund, or the alternative is waiting a year while the clay keeps working. The trade-off: financing costs interest, delay costs piers.
Usually not. Standard Texas homeowners policies typically exclude foundation damage from settlement, earth movement, and expansive soil – which describes nearly every Blackland Prairie clay repair in McLennan County.
Coverage may apply to a sudden, covered event, such as a burst plumbing line under the slab that washes out soil. Even then it is often partial, often covering the water damage rather than the pier work. Read your policy and call your carrier – coverage varies.
Because the soil does not pause while you save. Central Texas expansive clay has an active zone that shrinks in drought and swells after heavy rain. That cycle loads the foundation whether or not a repair is booked, and movement starting at one corner tends to spread along the perimeter.
The mechanism: price is driven mostly by pier count, and pier count by how much of the foundation has moved. One settled corner needs the fewest piers; the same home two dry summers later can need a full side supported.
Interior damage follows – drywall cracks widen, sticking doors bind year-round, tile and veneer separate. That is finish work on top of the structural scope. See signs of foundation problems.
Do you set the interest rate? No. We do not lend money and do not set rates, terms, or fees. The third-party lender sets those from your application.
Can you guarantee I will be approved? No. Approval is the lender’s decision under its own criteria. Anyone promising guaranteed approval is not being straight with you.
Will I know my monthly payment before I commit? Yes. If approved, you see the amount financed, term, monthly payment, and total of payments before you accept.
Does financing change the repair or the warranty? No. Scope, pier count, crew, and the tiered transferable lifetime warranty on qualifying repairs are identical either way. See our warranty terms.
Does homeowners insurance cover foundation repair in Texas? Usually not for expansive-soil settlement, the common cause in Waco. A sudden covered event like an under-slab plumbing burst may be partly covered. Read your policy.
