Foundation Repair

Foundation Repair for homes and businesses in American Fork

Settling corner. Crack widening every spring. Basement wall that's not quite plumb anymore. American Fork Foundation Pros handles all of it: piering and underpinning, wall stabilization, crack injection, basement waterproofing.

We work bench-lot ground near Mount Timpanogos, where canyon runoff and a mix of older core homes and newer fast-fill subdivisions produce two very different settlement stories. We find out which one is yours before anyone picks up a drill. Steel push piers, helical piers, epoxy or polyurethane crack injection, sized to the hydrostatic pressure your specific wall is actually dealing with. [Contact](/contact) us or keep reading.

Why choose us

Why choose American Fork Foundation Pros

  • Pier depth matched to bench soil

    We size push piers and helical piers to the depth that actually holds on American Fork's bench-lot ground, not a catalog default.

  • Wall bracing built for freeze-thaw cycling

    Anchors and straps go in sized for the pressure swings that come with Wasatch Front winters, not a one-size kit.

  • Written estimates before any drilling

    You get scope, method, and price range on paper before a single hole gets drilled or a pier gets driven.

  • Direct crew communication

    You talk to the people doing the work, not a call center reading from a script.

How it works

How our Foundation Repair process works

  1. Initial Inspection photo
    Step 1

    Initial Inspection

    A technician walks the American Fork property and flags visible signs of movement, from hairline cracks to sticking doors.

  2. Diagnostic Assessment photo
    Step 2

    Diagnostic Assessment

    Soil readings near the bench-lot grade and crack measurements pin down what's actually moving under the house.

  3. Custom Repair Plan photo
    Step 3

    Custom Repair Plan

    Scope gets built around pier depth, access, and whether canyon runoff is part of the problem.

  4. Site Preparation photo
    Step 4

    Site Preparation

    Crew clears and protects the work area so equipment can reach the foundation line safely.

  5. Repair Installation photo
    Step 5

    Repair Installation

    Piers, anchors, or injection go in using the method matched to that diagnosis, not a default package.

  6. Final Walkthrough photo
    Step 6

    Final Walkthrough

    We walk the result with you, check level and seal quality, and answer whatever's left on your mind.

Materials

Materials and methods we use

We pick materials for the ground they're going into, not a catalog default.

  • Steel Push Piers photo

    Steel Push Piers

    Driven to load-bearing soil or bedrock, these carry structural weight on American Fork's bench-lot ground where stable strata sits deeper than flatland lots.

  • Helical Piers photo

    Helical Piers

    Screw-driven into the ground, a lighter-structure option that still holds in variable fill soil common in newer subdivisions.

  • Epoxy Injection photo

    Epoxy Injection

    Bonds dry structural cracks back together so the wall regains its original strength.

  • Polyurethane Foam photo

    Polyurethane Foam

    Expands fast to block water still weeping through a crack after snowmelt.

  • Drainage Membrane photo

    Drainage Membrane

    Channels water around foundation walls so hydrostatic pressure doesn't build up again the next spring.

  • Carbon Fiber Straps photo

    Carbon Fiber Straps

    Applied to walls showing early bow, before the lean gets bad enough to need steel bracing.

    Price was way more affordable than the other quotes we got for drainage correction / french drain systems. Still felt premium — clean jobsite, solid finish, and I'd hire them again without thinking twice.

    Honestly did not expect such a professional team. They showed up on time, explained every step, and the helical pier installation turned out better than I pictured.

    Called American Fork Foundation Pros after a neighbor tip in American Fork. Super easy to deal with — clear answers, no runaround, and they actually cared about the details on our push pier installation.

Common questions

Foundation Repair FAQs

How much does a major foundation repair cost?

Most full pier jobs in Utah County land between $4,000 and $15,000 depending on pier count and depth to stable soil. A single crack injection runs far less. The only way to get a real number is a site visit, since access and soil conditions change the math.

How do they fix foundation issues?

Depends on the problem. Settling corners usually need steel or helical piers driven to stable soil. Cracks get epoxy or polyurethane injection. Bowing walls get anchors, carbon fiber straps, or steel beams depending on severity.

How much does Foundation Repair cost in American Fork?

Ranges run from a few hundred dollars for a single crack injection up to several thousand per pier for underpinning. Pier count, crack length, and access all move the number. A free estimate gives you an accurate figure, not a guess.

How long does Foundation Repair take?

Crack injection is often a same-day job. Pier installs typically run one to three days depending on how many piers the foundation needs. Structural permit approval, when required, adds one to two weeks before work starts.

Do I need a permit for Foundation Repair?

Structural work like pier underpinning or wall bracing usually needs a Utah County permit. Cosmetic crack sealing and minor interior work usually doesn't. Check with your city or county building department to confirm your specific job.

Is DIY Foundation Repair a good idea?

Sealing a hairline cosmetic crack yourself is fine. Anything involving a wider crack, a bowing wall, or pier placement needs engineering judgment a homeowner can't replicate. Soil pressure keeps moving a wall that only got surface filler.
