There are many companies in the Yellow Pages and on the Internet that deal with foundation repairs in residential buildings. About 250,000 Americans contact these companies each year with foundation repair problems.
You can contact these companies by phone or email. As a first step, they send a trained inspector to assess the damage done to the foundation of your home. Reputable companies will even notify their customers if the damage is minor enough for the owner to repair himself. You can also take help from Wisconsin Basement Pros and American Foundation Specialists.

The company then presents various alternatives for repairing the foundation and estimates the cost. After the type of repair and its price were agreed and clarified, they asked for a symbolic amount as a down payment. No company will charge a full fee upfront for repairs, and it is not recommended to pay upfront.
When focusing on a company, you need to double-check all the links it has to offer. Make sure the link is not generated for you. If possible, visit the site by appointment. Also, check if the company has all the necessary insurance.
The most important types of insurance are public liability insurance, motor vehicle insurance and general liability insurance. This insurance will protect you from injury to your local workers, vehicle damage by a contractor's car and damage to your property.
Other minor things to check are how long the company has been operating, does it have its own tools and personnel, does it have full-time supervision, does it clean up after a long day at work, and so on.
