I got answers from Google but I was curious to hear from the BP community what their opinions are for the average costs to resolve foundation issues?

Especially in Houston, Texas?

 You could run a mack truck thru the goalposts of the high and low.

Could be 30K, could be a thousand.  IT really depends on how many piers, how much if any in plumbing, walls, etc.  It is pier and beam or is it slab.  Do you have to replace.  DO you need to redo drainage.

There are a ton of variables.  Honestly during your option period, get a foundation company to inspect and give you a quote.

We find in Texas, essentially every house has a poor foundation.  if its a rental, most of those don't really need to be repaired, or can be tweaked for a minimal cost.
