I've tried Angie's List with no luck and my local contractor does not have any good foundation contacts either.  If you know of a reputable foundation contractor in Indy, please let me know!

Thank you,

-Leo

@Leo B.
I would have to see what we are talking about. A lot of times it's easier and less expensive to put in inner walls as supports/reinforcements than to replace the foundations. You take the load off of the outer walls, and are reinforcing them, so they are not as prone to continue to have problems. Especially if we are not talking about brick exteriors.

Are we talking rentals or flips?  100 year old low-mid income rental is not really expected to have perfectly level floors.. haha Sad, but true.. Also, you start jacking up walls and you have a hell of a lot of plaster/drywall work to fix.

There's no license needed for this type of work either, just like no license required in Indiana for mold remediation..
