J.E.P. Contracting Inc

Massachusetts has no foundation-contractor license, so confirm Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration. Structural repair, piers, steel beams, or wall rebuilds, requires a licensed Construction Supervisor and a building permit from the Millbury building department, with PE-stamped engineer drawings for significant work. The Blackstone and West River corridors carry wetlands jurisdiction, so exterior excavation, drainage, or regrading near them commonly falls under Millbury Conservation Commission review through the Wetlands Protection Act, so confirm before any dig-out.

Central Massachusetts pricing runs moderate, below Boston metro. Crack injection with epoxy or polyurethane on a poured wall typically runs $400–$900 per crack, while Millbury's older fieldstone basements call for parging and interior drainage instead. An interior perimeter French drain with a sump pump generally lands around $8,000–$20,000 depending on linear feet. A sump pump install runs $1,200–$3,000, more with battery backup. Stabilizing a bowing wall with carbon-fiber or steel runs $5,000–$12,000.

Massachusetts requires a written contract and a Home Improvement Contractor registration for most residential foundation repair & waterproofing work; ask for the registration number and check it before paying a deposit.
