- 12Why do foundation repairs cost so much more than quoted?Initial surveys often miss how deep stable ground actually is, forcing contractors to drive piles much deeper and driving costs past forty thousand dollars. This unexpected escalation leaves homeowners dealing with compounding structural expenses and runaway repair bills that initial estimates failed to predict.
