Our house had a crawlspace, and we really wanted a basement under it.
Estimates for the housemover to jack up the house was over $11,000. That
did not include hooking/un-hooking any utilities OR any of the prep work,
which I was going to have to do myself. The basement would have cost
another $28,000 on top of that. Work would have taken a month or two to
complete. And yes, we were told that we could live in the house while the
work was being done.

In the end, we ended up building a new home with a basement. It was just
easier.

Can anyone tell me if you can continue to live in a house that needs
foundation repairs while the repairs are being done? Also, I realize
that this next answer depends on the extent of the problem, but do
repairs normally take days, weeks or months?

Thanks for any insight.
