How long does foundation repair last?

​On average, foundation repair will take about 2-3 days to complete the project. There are some issues that may arise that cause the installment process to take longer than usual. If there are plants,trees, or concrete that need to be removed from around the structure, then those will need to be removed or take more time to work around them. Weather can cause delays as it may create poor working conditions. If a structure is bigger than usual, then the time to excavate around it may take much longer. Foundation repair could also take longer because some structures may have deeper footings because of a basement.
After the foundation supports have been installed, there will be a “relaxation” period that will be about 90 days. During this time it is recommended that you don't make any cosmetic repairs to the drywall and mortar. This 90 days will allow the building to get used to its new repairs. Yes, even buildings need time to adjust.
Foundation repair will be a permanent fix. It is estimated that steel piers will last about 150 years, so much past our life times. Galvanized steel will allow the piers to avoid damage from rust and corrosion over time. Grout piers may not be as strong, but they will still last a long time. However, some conditions may affect the longevity of the piers. Nevertheless, the foundation supports that you install will last for a very long time. It will be best to ask your contractor based on the conditions of your foundation how long your piers may last. However, you will not have to worry about them giving out any time soon.

Should you decide to sell you property that has foundation issues, you have some options to consider. You could try to fix the issues before listing the home, but that means you have to invest some money (perhaps a lot) out of your own pocket. And the repair history will be part of the property’s record, which might discourage potential buyers before they even look at the place. Many sellers opt to just disclose the foundation issues in the listing, but most likely that will mean you’ll need to adjust the price accordingly. Depending on the size and scope of the problems, you may be able to try and shift the focus to the upside—for example, the buyer could also add a finished basement or a man cave while they are having the foundation fixed. The best choice for you as the seller will depend on a number of factors, including the local market, the degree of foundation issues, and how quickly you hope to sell the property.
