Serving Highland and nearby communities.

Foundation repair covers the full range of structural fixes a Highland home might need: crack injection, piering, underpinning, and wall stabilization, all under one coordinated scope. Highland Foundation Pros treats these as one job, not four separate upsells, because the cause is usually the same soil problem showing up in different spots.

Highland sits on sloped bench lots. A lot of homes here are newer builds still settling into native ground. That combination means cracks, bowing walls, and uneven floors often trace back to the same root cause.

How it works

How our Foundation Repair process works

  1. Structural Evaluation photo
    Step 1

    Structural Evaluation

    The foundation is inspected for cracks, settlement, and other signs of distress.

  2. Soil Analysis photo
    Step 2

    Soil Analysis

    Soil composition and moisture levels are checked against Highland's bench-grade clay conditions.

  3. Support Design photo
    Step 3

    Support Design

    A support system is sized to the load and the depth to stable soil.

  4. Excavation photo
    Step 4

    Excavation

    Targeted digging exposes the foundation areas requiring reinforcement.

  5. Support Installation photo
    Step 5

    Support Installation

    Piers or brackets go in to stabilize and level the foundation.

  6. Backfill And Cleanup photo
    Step 6

    Backfill And Cleanup

    Excavated areas are restored and the site is left clean.

Materials

Materials and methods for Foundation Repair

Method selection depends on depth to bearing soil and how much the structure has moved. Here's what we draw from.

  • Steel Push Piers photo

    Steel Push Piers

    These transfer structural weight down to stable soil layers, a common need on sloped lots where fill soil sits above firmer ground.

  • Helical Piers photo

    Helical Piers

    Screwed to depth, these work well for lighter additions and porches common on newer builds.

  • Foundation Brackets photo

    Foundation Brackets

    Secure piers to the footing so load transfers evenly instead of concentrating at one point.

  • Hydraulic Jacks photo

    Hydraulic Jacks

    Used to lift settled sections back toward level, slowly and in stages.

  • Structural Shims photo

    Structural Shims

    Fine-tune elevation once the main lift is done.

  • Waterproof Sealant photo

    Waterproof Sealant

    Applied over repaired areas, important given how much snowmelt moves through Utah County clay each spring.

FAQs

Foundation Repair FAQs

Is a hairline crack in my foundation normal or a red flag?

Hairline cracks under about 1/8 inch, with no water and no step pattern, are usually curing shrinkage. Cracks that are widening, diagonal, or stair-stepped point to settlement and are worth a look.

How much does it cost to pier a foundation in Utah?

It depends on pier count, depth to stable soil, and access. Simple jobs with a few piers run lower. Full perimeter underpinning costs more. A free estimate gets you an exact number.

Does homeowners insurance cover foundation repair from soil movement?

Most standard policies exclude gradual soil settlement. Coverage sometimes applies if a sudden event, like a burst pipe, caused the damage. Check your policy and ask your adjuster directly.

What's the difference between settling and normal concrete curing?

Curing cracks appear in the first year, stay hairline, and don't widen. Settlement cracks show up later, often diagonal or widening, and may come with sticking doors or sloped floors.

Can I wait a year before fixing a foundation crack?

Small, stable hairline cracks can usually wait. Active or widening cracks tend to get worse with each freeze-thaw cycle, so waiting usually means a bigger repair later.

How do I prepare my home for a foundation repair visit?

Clear furniture and stored items away from affected walls, and make sure the crew has access to the exterior perimeter and any crawl space entry points.
