A cracked footing or a sinking corner of the house doesn't fix itself. It gets worse every freeze-thaw cycle, especially on the bench-grade lots common across Cottonwood Heights where clay and sand soils swell and shrink with the seasons.
Cottonwood Heights Foundation Pros diagnoses the cause before naming a fix: steel push piers, helical piers, or targeted crack injection, depending on what the soil and load actually call for. No bundled concrete package, just the repair your foundation needs.

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
Bench-area homes built before Cottonwood Heights formalized city code in 2005 often carry footings sized for lighter soil assumptions. These materials address that gap directly.
Steel Push Piers
Provide deep support by transferring structural weight to stable soil layers below the shifting clay common on this bench.
Helical Piers
Offer adjustable depth support ideal for lighter structures and additions, useful where access is tight.
Foundation Brackets
Secure piers to the foundation for consistent load transfer through seasonal soil movement.
Hydraulic Jacks
Used to carefully lift and level settled foundation sections without overcorrecting.
Structural Shims
Placed to fine-tune elevation adjustments during leveling.
Waterproof Sealant
Applied to repaired areas to prevent moisture intrusion during spring runoff.

FAQs
Foundation Repair FAQs
How much does Foundation Repair cost in Cottonwood Heights?
Cost depends on the method. Crack injection runs lower, full pier underpinning runs higher based on pier count and access. A free estimate gives you a number tied to your specific repair.
How long does Foundation Repair take?
Simple crack repairs wrap in a day. Pier-based underpinning on multiple footings typically runs 1 to 3 days depending on count and soil conditions.
Do I need a permit for Foundation Repair?
Structural work like piering or wall replacement usually needs a permit from Salt Lake County or the city. Crack injection alone usually doesn't. We handle the filing when it applies.
Is DIY Foundation Repair a good idea?
Cosmetic hairline cracks, maybe. Anything structural, diagonal cracks, bowing, or sinking corners, needs a load assessment a homeowner can't do with a tube of caulk.
What is typically included in Foundation Repair?
A written scope naming the method, the materials, pier count if applicable, and a backfill/cleanup plan. You'll know the full picture before we start.
