Spring storms
Flash flooding and saturated soil can trigger sudden settlement.
01Pier count and type
Most of the price is in the piers. A corner that dropped might need a handful; a whole-house lift might need dozens. Steel piers driven deep usually cost more per pier than pressed concrete. Ask each contractor why they chose their count.
02Ground conditions
Shallow limestone in the Hill Country can limit depth and change methods. Deep prairie clay may call for deeper piers. Hillside lots add excavation and access costs.
03Extras that add up
Plumbing tests before and after lifting, breaking through interior floors for interior piers, landscaping removal, engineer reports and permits. Drainage correction is often quoted separately.

04Comparing quotes
Line up scopes, not totals. Check pier count, placement drawing, warranty length and transferability. If quotes disagree wildly, a foundation inspection by an engineer can settle it.
