Material prices below are national averages; availability in Minneapolis may shift costs slightly.

Material	Cost/Unit	Pros	Cons	Best For
Epoxy / Polyurethane Crack Injection	$400-$800 per crack	Non-invasive, fast, effective for non-structural cracks, preserves waterproofing	Only appropriate for non-structural cracks, does not address underlying cause	Hairline to 1/4-inch poured concrete cracks with no active movementNon-invasive, fast, effective for non-structural cracks, preserves waterproofing
Carbon Fiber Straps	$400-$600 per strap	Minimal excavation, high tensile strength, low profile, does not reduce interior space	Stabilizes walls but cannot straighten them, works best on walls that have not bowed more than 2 inches	Bowing basement walls with minor to moderate inward movementMinimal excavation, high tensile strength, low profile, does not reduce interior space
Wall Anchors / Deadman System	$1,500-$2,500 per anchor	Can gradually straighten walls over time when tightened annually, strong lateral resistance	Requires excavation in yard, large steel plate on interior wall, longer installation	Bowing walls with yard space available for deadman anchor installationCan gradually straighten walls over time when tightened annually, strong lateral resistance
Helical or Push Piers	$1,500-$3,000 per pier	Addresses actual settlement, can lift and level sunken foundation, long-lasting fix	Expensive per unit, typically need 6-12+ piers, interior excavation may be needed at each pier	Foundations that have visibly settled or show significant differential movementAddresses actual settlement, can lift and level sunken foundation, long-lasting fix
Mudjacking / Slabjacking	$3-$8 per sq ft	Fast, affordable, non-invasive, works for sunken concrete slabs and garage floors	Not for structural foundation walls, may need retreatment in 5-10 years	Sunken concrete slabs, sidewalks, driveways, and garage floorsFast, affordable, non-invasive, works for sunken concrete slabs and garage floors
