Discovering foundation problems in your house can be overwhelming. You might worry that no one will buy your home or that you’re stuck paying tens of thousands in repairs. If you’re a homeowner in Louisiana or the Mississippi Gulf Coast dealing with a cracked slab or sinking foundation, you are not alone. Foundation issues are common in our area thanks to our soil and climate – and they don’t have to spell disaster for your home sale.
Home Buyer Louisiana is a local, trustworthy cash home buyer that specializes in purchasing houses with foundation issues. We’ve helped homeowners & landlords tired of dealing with repairs, and even folks with vacant properties that have structural damage. Our team will buy your house as-is, no matter how bad the foundation problems are. You can sell your house with foundation damage without the typical stress:
No Repairs Needed: You don’t have to fix a thing – not the cracked slab, sticking doors, or sagging floors. We buy houses as-is, even with severe foundation damage or structural issues.
Fast, Cash Offers: We’ll make you a fair cash offer usually within 24 hours. No waiting on bank approvals or buyer mortgage contingencies (most banks won’t even finance a home with a cracked foundation). We have our own funds ready.
Quick Closing: Need to sell fast? We can close in as little as 7 days, or on whatever timeline works for you. Get relief from your problem property without months of uncertainty.
No Fees or Commissions: We’re not real estate agents; we’re cash buyers. That means no realtor commissions, and we even cover standard closing costs. You get more money in your pocket and a hassle-free sale.
Local & Trusted: Home Buyer Louisiana is based here in Louisiana – we understand local home issues. From New Orleans to Baton Rouge, Lafayette to Slidell, Jefferson Parish to St. Tammany Parish, and even the Mississippi Gulf Coast, we’ve seen it all. Our experienced team has a track record of helping homeowners with foundation issues get a fresh start, with honesty and empathy.
Trying to sell a house with foundation problems through the traditional market can feel nearly impossible. Many prospective buyers will walk away at the first sign of foundation trouble. Banks and lenders often won’t approve loans for houses with serious foundation damage, shrinking your pool of potential buyers. Even if you find an interested buyer, they’ll likely insist you repair the foundation or drop your price significantly. In fact, studies show homes with unresolved foundation issues sell for 10–20% less than comparable homes – a huge hit to your equity.
It’s no wonder homeowners feel trapped or embarrassed by foundation problems. You may feel urgent pressure to sell before the cracks get worse, but also hopeless when buyers keep backing out. We understand this frustration. We’ve worked with clients who tried listing their house “as-is” only to have contracts fall through once the inspection revealed foundation damage. It’s an emotional rollercoaster – one that you shouldn’t have to go through.
At Home Buyer Louisiana, we’ve seen the stress and worry that foundation issues cause for homeowners. You might be asking yourself:
“How can I afford these repairs?” – Major foundation repairs can cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollar, which many homeowners simply don’t have on hand. You shouldn’t have to drain your savings or go into debt fixing a house you plan to sell.
Bottom line: You shouldn’t feel stuck or ashamed because of a foundation problem. We offer a way out that’s straightforward and compassionate. We’ll walk you through the process, answer all your questions, and give you the time you need to decide if our offer is right for you. There’s no obligation and no hard sell. Just a helpful solution when you need it most.
Instead of pouring money into repairs or waiting months for a buyer, you can sell your house with foundation issues directly to Home Buyer Louisiana for cash. We make it easy:

You Decide Next Steps – Love the offer? Great – you choose a closing date that works for you (we can close in as little as a week, or later if you need more time). Not sure or need to explore other options? No problem – our offer comes with no strings attached. We’ll never pressure you; the decision is 100% yours.

One of the biggest advantages of working with Home Buyer Louisiana is that we truly specialize in problem properties. We aren’t just okay with foundation damage – we actively seek out houses with foundation issues, structural damage, or other major problems. We see the potential in these homes where others only see risk.
Foundation damage home buyer is exactly what we are. Cracked slab? Settling or sinking foundation? Walls bowing or piers rotting? We’ve seen it all and bought it all. Here are just a few types of foundation problem homes we purchase:
Slab Foundation Cracks: Houses with cracked concrete slabs or floor fractures. Common in areas like Baton Rouge and Lafayette with clay soil – not a deal-breaker for us.
Pier and Beam Issues: Older homes in New Orleans, Metairie, or Gulf Coast areas with sagging floors, rotten sill beams, or termite-damaged joists. We’ll take them as-is, termites and all.
Foundation Settling: Properties that have settled or sunk on one side, causing uneven floors and cracked walls. We have experience leveling and repairing these after we buy – you don’t have to worry about it.
Structural Repair Needed: Any home where engineers or inspectors have flagged foundation or structural repairs. If your house failed a foundation inspection or won’t pass appraisal, call us – we will still buy it for cash.
No foundation problem is too severe. Because we’re investors, we plan and budget for repairs after we purchase. We expect the issues and factor that in, so you get to walk away without fixing anything. Selling to a specialized foundation house buyer like us means you can stop losing sleep over your home and get a fresh start.

We bought a Gentilly home that had been sitting on the market due to a substantial foundation problem The seller was relieved to finally have a solution after so many traditional buyers backed out. (Read the full story in our blog post!)
Succession Property in Kenner – We purchased an inherited house in Kenner with serious foundation issues that needed expensive repairs. The heirs needed to sell fast and as-is, and we were able to close quickly and take on the necessary foundation fix after purchase. (Check out the blog post about this property)
Westbank Fixer-Upper – “We bought this house on the Westbank with serious issues” – This Jefferson Parish property had major structural problems (foundation and more). We partnered with a local expert to take it off the overwhelmed owner’s hands (See the full story here)
