Local know-how
Why foundations move in Boston
Boston’s triple-deckers, rowhouses and Victorians often stand on stone or brick foundations that are well over a century old. Frost, water and time loosen stones and erode mortar, and settling shows up as cracked walls, sloping floors and doors that stick.
Large parts of the city are built on filled land. In neighborhoods such as the Back Bay and the South End, many buildings rest on wooden pilings that must stay below groundwater to avoid rot, which is why the city monitors groundwater levels there.
Local contractors repair stone and brick foundations, support sagging beams and posts, and address the water problems that often come with old foundations.

FAQ
Foundation Repair in Boston
Nearby service areas:
How much does foundation repair cost in Boston?
It depends on the foundation type and how far it has moved. Crack repairs often cost a few hundred dollars, piers are usually priced per pier (commonly about $1,000–$3,000 each) and many homes need several. The contractor you are connected with gives you an exact price after inspecting your home.
Why are wooden pilings a concern in parts of Boston?
In filled-land neighborhoods, many older buildings stand on wood pilings. If groundwater drops, the tops of the pilings can rot. Homeowners there sometimes need a foundation evaluation.
Can you work on triple-deckers?
Yes. Partner contractors repair foundations and support beams in multi-family homes. Owners and landlords can call.
