A bowing wall or a stair-step crack across the block doesn't show up overnight. It builds, usually over a season or two of soil moving against the foundation. By the time it's visible, the cause has already been at work for a while.
Provo Foundation Pros diagnoses the cause before picking a fix. In a city with a lot of older basements built before current drainage standards, that often means hydrostatic pressure pushing against a wall that was never braced for it. The repair gets matched to what's actually happening underground, not a default package.

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
Method depends on what the soil is doing, not just what the crack looks like.
Steel Push Piers
Provide deep support by transferring structural weight to stable soil layers, a common call when bench-area soil near Provo shifts seasonally with runoff.
Helical Piers
Offer adjustable depth support ideal for lighter structures and additions, especially where access is tight around an older basement footprint.
Foundation Brackets
Secure piers to the foundation for consistent load transfer over time.
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 future moisture intrusion, which matters most on homes with full basements.

Foundation Repair FAQs
How much could a foundation repair cost in Provo?
Cost depends on method and severity more than square footage. Crack injection runs a few hundred dollars. Piering runs per-pier, often $1,200-$2,500 each depending on access and depth.
How do I seal a crack in my foundation?
A hairline, non-widening crack can often be sealed with an epoxy or polyurethane injection kit as a short-term fix. If the crack is diagonal, stair-stepped, or wider than a quarter inch, that's a structural signal, not a sealing job.
How long does Foundation Repair take?
Inspection and estimate happen the same day. Installation runs anywhere from a few hours for crack work to several days for multi-pier jobs.
Do I need a permit for Foundation Repair?
Structural work like pier installation and underpinning usually needs a permit through Utah County or Provo building. Minor crack sealing typically does not. Check with the city before scheduling.
Is DIY Foundation Repair a good idea?
For a cosmetic hairline crack, a DIY sealant kit is reasonable. For bowing walls, sinking corners, or spreading cracks, DIY sealing just hides a structural problem instead of fixing it.
