The way the grade is around the house a walkout wouldn't work without moving a lot of dirt so getting a skid loader or other equipment under the house wouldn't be feasible. The house mover i talked to about lifting the house and pouring new thought he would have to move the house off to the side then have a local contractor come in dig/pour the basement then he would move the house back.

I've talked to a couple of foundation repair contractors, by far the cheapest was moving the house and putting a full basement under it. The foundation repair guys are mostly out of KC and they were all double the cost to add support beams and repair the existing foundation.

I've found contractors on the east coast that seem to advertise doing the kind of section by section repair I was thinking might work, but most of the foundation repair places around here are more geared towards mud jacking and installing support piers to stop sinking which im not really having any problems with.
