Serving Kearns and nearby communities.

A lot of Kearns homes were framed up fast in the 1950s and 60s, right after the old Army Air Base land got carved into tract lots. Those original footings are now 60-70 years old. Settlement, cracking, and uneven floors at this age are common, not rare.

Kearns Foundation Pros handles the structural side: diagonal cracks, bowing walls, sinking corners, doors that stopped closing right. We inspect first, explain what's actually happening, then build a repair plan around it.

How it works

How our Foundation Repair process works

Step 1
Structural Evaluation
The foundation is inspected for cracks, settlement, and other signs of distress.
Step 2
Soil Analysis
Soil composition and moisture levels are assessed to understand movement patterns.
Step 3
Support Design
Engineers determine the appropriate support system based on load requirements.
Step 4
Excavation
Targeted digging exposes the foundation areas requiring reinforcement.
Step 5
Support Installation
Piers or brackets are installed to stabilize and level the foundation.
Step 6
Backfill and Cleanup
Excavated areas are restored and the site is left clean and safe.

Materials

Materials and methods for Foundation Repair

Kearns' valley soil shifts with freeze-thaw cycles and spring snowmelt. These methods are picked to handle that movement long term, 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 common on older Kearns lots.
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 over-correcting.
Structural Shims
Placed to fine-tune elevation adjustments during leveling work.
Waterproof Sealant
Applied to repaired areas to block moisture from valley runoff.

FAQs

Foundation Repair FAQs

How do I know if it's the foundation or just the slab settling?

A foundation issue shows up in the walls or footings, things like diagonal cracks, bowing, or doors sticking. Slab settlement is usually isolated to the floor itself and doesn't affect the walls. An inspection sorts this out fast.

Does homeowners insurance cover foundation settling?

Most standard policies exclude gradual settling and earth movement. Coverage sometimes applies if a specific covered event, like a plumbing leak, caused the damage. Check with your insurer directly before assuming either way.

How much does foundation repair cost?

It depends on the method and scope, from a single crack injection to full perimeter piering. A site visit gives you real numbers instead of a guess.

Do I need a permit for this?

Structural work like piering or underpinning generally needs a Salt Lake County permit since Kearns is unincorporated. We handle the filing when it applies.

Is DIY foundation repair a good idea?

Hairline cosmetic cracks are fine to monitor or seal yourself. Anything involving wall movement or sinking sections is a structural risk best left to a licensed crew.

When should I call a pro?

Call when a crack is diagonal or stair-stepped, when a wall is bowing, or when a door suddenly won't latch. Those are movement signs, not cosmetic ones.
