Is that crack in your basement wall getting wider, or has it been the same for years? That difference matters. Foundation repair covers the structural fixes for settlement, cracking, and wall movement, not the cosmetic patch jobs a handyman might try.
West Jordan Foundation Pros inspects before naming a method. Salt Lake City's older housing stock sits on a mix of clay and sandy fill shaped by the Wasatch Front's bench grading, and that combination moves differently than new-build subdivisions. A full basement is standard here too, unlike the slab-on-grade homes common farther south, so waterproofing often rides alongside structural work.

How our Foundation Repair process works
Step 1Structural Evaluation
The foundation is inspected for cracks, settlement, and other signs of distress.
Step 2Soil Analysis
Soil composition and moisture levels are assessed to understand movement patterns.
Step 3Support Design
Engineers determine the appropriate support system based on load requirements.
Step 4Excavation
Targeted digging exposes the foundation areas requiring reinforcement.
Step 5Support Installation
Piers or brackets are installed to stabilize and level the foundation.
Step 6Backfill And Cleanup
Excavated areas are restored and the site is left clean and safe.
Materials
Materials and methods for Foundation Repair
Utah's freeze-thaw cycle and spring snowmelt both put stress on a foundation. These methods are chosen to hold up under that stress, not just patch the surface.
Steel Push Piers
Provide deep support by transferring structural weight to stable soil layers below the frost line.
Helical Piers
Offer adjustable depth support ideal for lighter structures and additions on Salt Lake Valley's mixed soils.
Foundation Brackets
Secure piers to the foundation for consistent load transfer during leveling.
Hydraulic Jacks
Used to carefully lift and level settled foundation sections without shocking the structure.
Structural Shims
Placed to fine-tune elevation adjustments during leveling work.
Waterproof Sealant
Applied to repaired areas to block moisture that spring runoff pushes against older basement walls.

FAQs
Foundation Repair FAQs
How much does foundation repair cost in Salt Lake City?
It depends heavily on method. Crack injection runs a few hundred dollars per crack. Piering and underpinning run into the thousands depending on pier count and foundation depth. A site visit gets you an actual number.
How long does foundation repair take?
Crack injection finishes same day. Pier or anchor installs usually run one to three days depending on scope, with backfill wrapped into the same visit.
Do I need a permit for foundation repair?
Structural work like piering or wall anchor installs usually needs a permit from Salt Lake County or your local building department. Minor crack injection usually doesn't. Confirm with your jurisdiction before work starts.
Is DIY foundation repair a good idea?
For hairline cosmetic cracks, keeping an eye on them and grading soil away from the house is reasonable. For growing diagonal cracks, bowing walls, or sticking doors, a hardware-store caulk tube won't stop the pressure or settlement causing it.
What affects foundation repair pricing?
Method is the biggest driver, followed by foundation size, access difficulty, and whether waterproofing gets added to the scope.
What is typically included in foundation repair?
Inspection, a written method recommendation, the repair itself, and cleanup. Waterproofing and cosmetic finishing are usually separate line items.
