Paying for a report first
Bob Vila lists a structural engineer's report at $300 to $1,000 and a soil report at $500 to $3,000. If a quote runs into five figures, a report from someone with no repair to sell is cheap insurance. See second opinions.
Reading a quote
- Count the piers. At $1,000 to $3,000 each, 10 piers would be $10,000 to $30,000 before anything else, by our arithmetic.
- Find the engineer. Ask who designed the repair and whether they'll check it afterward.
- Plumbing tests. Lifting a house is one of the situations where the Texas Section ASCE guidelines want plumbing tested.
- The permit. Ask who pulls it and whether it's included. See permits.
- Flood zone. If your home is in a mapped floodplain, the size of the repair can matter to the city. See flood zones.
Pearland context
Census QuickFacts puts the median value of an owner-occupied home in Pearland at $356,300 (2020 to 2024). A $10,000 to $30,000 pier job would be roughly 3% to 8% of that, by our arithmetic.
