Serving Pleasant Grove and nearby communities.

Pleasant Grove sits on the Wasatch bench, and most lots grade up toward the foothills behind town. That slope sends spring runoff straight at foundations lower on the hill, and a hard freeze-thaw winter keeps the soil underneath shifting year after year. Foundation Repair means fixing what moved, not patching what shows.

Pleasant Grove Foundation Pros handles everything from a single hairline crack to full perimeter underpinning. Scope depends on what the inspection turns up. Every job starts with a written estimate before any drilling or excavation.

Materials

Materials and Methods for Foundation Repair

Method depends on what's moving and how far it's moved. Here's what we reach for most on Pleasant Grove bench lots.

  • Steel Push Piers photo

    Steel Push Piers

    Driven to bedrock or dense load-bearing soil, these carry heavier homes through the deepest settlement.

  • Helical Piers photo

    Helical Piers

    Screwed to depth, a good fit for additions and lighter structures on mixed bench fill.

  • Foundation Brackets photo

    Foundation Brackets

    Bolt the pier to the footing so load transfers evenly instead of at one point.

  • Hydraulic Jacks photo

    Hydraulic Jacks

    Lift settled sections back toward level in controlled, measured increments.

  • Structural Shims photo

    Structural Shims

    Fine-tune the final elevation once the main lift is done.

  • Waterproof Sealant photo

    Waterproof Sealant

    Goes over repaired areas so freeze-thaw moisture doesn't find its way back in.

FAQs

Foundation Repair FAQs

How much does a major foundation repair cost?

Most major jobs run from a few thousand dollars for a handful of piers up to five figures for full perimeter underpinning. Scope and pier count drive the number more than square footage does. A free estimate pins down your range.

How do I know if my foundation crack is structural or just cosmetic?

Hairline cracks under about 1/16 inch that aren't growing are usually cosmetic. Stair-step cracks in block, diagonal cracks over 1/4 inch, or cracks paired with sticking doors point to structural movement that needs an inspection.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover foundation settlement?

Usually not. Most policies exclude gradual earth movement and settlement, treating it as a maintenance issue rather than sudden damage. Sudden events like a burst pipe causing settlement are a different story, and it's worth a call to your agent either way.

How long does foundation repair take before I can sell my house?

Crack injection often wraps in a single visit. Multi-pier underpinning can run several days depending on access and pier count. Either way, plan the repair and a short settling period before listing.

Do I need a permit for foundation repair in Utah County?

Structural work like piering and underpinning usually needs one. Cosmetic crack sealing on its own typically doesn't. We handle the paperwork on jobs that require it.
