Don't understand, are you the customer who had the work done? or are you a company investor deciding to bail out of company?
I don't understand either! Are you the company or the customer?
If your contractor has not repaired properly, I would seriously consider their qualifications - or lack thereof. Is this company licensed? Did they pull the proper permits for foundation work? Was it inspected per code by the local authorities? If after the second fail did they call in a soil expert or structural engineer or architect? If not? Why didn't they do so? That, right there is a huge red flag, at least for me.
Do not pay them one more red cent. Contact your local building department to have them come out and take a look. I would hire qualified licensed professionals to complete the repair documenting every step of the way. Seek counsel, you need a construction defect attorney. Your state Bar can help you find a qualified attorney.
Wite a letter or have an attorney write one for you demanding all your money back, send via certified mail, return receipt. I would also put their insurance carrier on notice, (an attorney can do this for you), for construction defect, breach of contract or whatever applies in your state.
Here are some tips on hiring a qualified, licensed contractor.

So so sorry this happened to you. Now you know better!
Read your contract and see if you agreed to arbitration. If you did, get the ball rolling in that direction. It is nothing for a small company to let you hang, they have very little to lose.
If a contractor did substandard work they legally have to fix it. Not sure did you pay someone and are not happy with their work?
P.S. You have already lost all the money you invested.
Great ideals! Thanks for the advice!
Have you gotten in touch with your homeowners insurance to complain about the work and damage that occurred after the repairs. May be they can push the company to correct the problem. You can also file a complaint with the BBB , your local building department and state licensing board.
