Materials and methods we use
We lean on products proven against Salt Lake Valley freeze-thaw cycling and bench-versus-valley soil behavior.
Steel Push Piers
Driven to bedrock or load-bearing soil, these carry the structure's weight past the unstable top layers.
Helical Piers
Screwed into place, a good fit for lighter additions or sandier valley-floor soil.
Epoxy Injection
Used to seal and bond cracks to restore structural integrity.
Polyurethane Foam
A lightweight expanding material used to lift and level concrete surfaces.
Drainage Membrane
Installed to channel water away from foundation walls and reduce hydrostatic pressure.
Carbon Fiber Straps
Applied to walls to reinforce against bowing or lateral pressure.

5 out of 5 starsPrice was way more affordable than the other quotes we got for basement waterproofing. Still felt premium — clean jobsite, solid finish, and I'd hire them again without thinking twice.

5 out of 5 starsHonestly did not expect such a professional team. They showed up on time, explained every step, and the foundation repair turned out better than I pictured.

5 out of 5 starsCalled Salt Lake City Foundation Experts after a neighbor tip in Salt Lake City. Super easy to deal with — clear answers, no runaround, and they actually cared about the details on our piering / underpinning for settlement.

Common questions
Foundation Repair FAQs
How much does Foundation Repair cost in Salt Lake City?
Most jobs run $400 for a single crack injection up to $9,000 or more for wall stabilization or multi-pier underpinning. Pier count, wall length, and access all move the number. A free estimate gets you an exact figure.
How long does Foundation Repair take?
A crack repair might take an afternoon. Underpinning a section of foundation usually runs one to three days once the permit clears.
Do I need a permit for Foundation Repair?
Structural work like underpinning or wall anchors usually needs a Salt Lake County permit. Routine crack injection typically does not.
Is DIY Foundation Repair a good idea?
Fine for monitoring a hairline crack with a gauge. Not fine for a bowing wall or a widening crack, caulk doesn't stop hydrostatic pressure.
When should I call a Foundation Repair pro?
Call when you see stair-step cracks in brick, a wall bowed more than an inch, or doors sticking that didn't stick last year.
What affects Foundation Repair pricing?
Number of piers, length of wall needing reinforcement, depth to load-bearing soil, and how hard the area is to access.
What is typically included in Foundation Repair?
Inspection, a written plan, the install itself, backfill and grading, and a follow-up check. Permit filing gets added for structural jobs.
How do I prepare my home for Foundation Repair?
Clear furniture or stored items from the work area and have photos of the crack or affected wall ready for the estimate visit.
