Serving Lehi and nearby communities.

A cracked slab or a wall that's not quite plumb anymore usually means the ground under the house has shifted. Lehi Foundation Pros inspects the foundation, figures out what's actually moving, and matches the repair to the cause instead of just patching the symptom.

Most of the homes we see here are newer builds still settling into clay and sandy soil layers. That's not a bad sign on its own, but it does mean cracks that show up at 5-10 years old deserve a real look, not a shrug.

FAQs

Foundation Repair FAQs

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

Hairline cracks under 1/8 inch that aren't growing are usually cosmetic. Diagonal cracks, cracks wider than a quarter-inch, or anything paired with a sticking door points to structural movement.

Why is my new-build home already cracking after 2-3 years?

New subdivisions get built fast, and the fill soil underneath hasn't fully settled yet. Clay and sandy soil layers shift as moisture changes, and that shows up as cracking even in recent construction.

Does homeowners insurance cover foundation repair in Utah?

Usually not, unless the damage came from a covered event like a burst pipe. Standard settlement and soil movement is typically excluded. Worth a call to your agent to confirm your policy.

What does foundation repair cost in Lehi?

Crack injection runs a few hundred dollars per crack. Piering jobs scale with pier count and access difficulty, often landing in the thousands. A written estimate after inspection gives you the real number.

Do I need a permit for this work?

Structural work like piering usually needs a permit through the city. Non-structural crack injection usually doesn't. We handle permit filing when it's required.
