These guys do this often, so it's no biggy to them. Get several opinions and check with the better business bureau if necessary. I would imagine that the cost would vary and I wouldn't go with a low bid chancing an error.

Depends on the problem and the fix. I had a crack that was allowing water in. I paid 750 bucks for them to come and fix it. It took them 2 hours and I have never had a problem with it again. The did a patented procedure called Flexi-foam. They garunteed the crack would not leak again for the life of the structure.

DUDE, if its messed up, call a pro, this is not a diy job.
expect to spend thousands....
If it isnt messed up now, make sure the grading drains water away from the house to minimize water damage

get a surveyor in to do a structural survey, an estate agent will point you in the right direction & rough idea of cost

It's VERY expensive. Having your house collapse is even more expensive.
