Utah County, UT Foundation Repair Contractor

The slabs of concrete leading to Adam C.s home had a giant sinkhole underneath. Water would run under the slabs and into the basement. Davenport Foundation Repair was able to come out and give a free estimate and some cost-effective solutions.

Our crew pumped 56 pounds of our innovative PolyLevel injection foam under his 12-foot-long walkway. In the past, mud jacking was the best way to fix sinking concrete stairs, driveways, sidewalks, etc. However, mud jacking didn't completely solve the problem. PolyLevel cures in 15 minutes and only requires a dime-sized hole to be drilled into the concrete to inject the foam. Learn more about why PolyLevel® is the better solution here.

Now Adam can enjoy a dry basement and a level walkway to home. We are pleased when our customers send us a review to let us know how we did. “The crew was great, and really knew what they were doing,” Adam said. Davenport Foundation Repair is pleased we provide Adam with permanent, cost-effective solutions in Santaquin, Utah.

Don J. called us because he noticed several cracks in the foundation of his garage, a large horizontal crack in the concrete under the brick of the home, and stair step cracks in the brick of the home. A Davenport Foundation Repair Foundation Specialist was able to determine the home had settled, and we installed 10 Push Piers around the garage. When soils are unable to bear the load of the structure on top of it, that structure will sink downwards into the ground. Piers can solve settlement problems by transferring a structure's weight to strong, competent supporting soils at greater depth. Piers can effectively stabilize a settling structure and can even provide jacking points to lift the structure upwards to its original, level position. The piers at this location went into the ground 70-73 feet into the soils below.

In addition to piering the home, we were able to level and stabilize their front walkway with our innovative PolyLevel foam. This home’s walkway was sunk several inches causing tripping hazards. In the past, mud jacking was the best way to fix sinking concrete stairs, driveways, sidewalks, etc. However, mud jacking didn't completely solve the problem, which is why Davenport Foundation Repair uses PolyLevel® to fix this issue. It cures in 15 minutes, making the driveway or sidewalk usable quickly; it’s lightweight at 2 pounds per cubic foot; and the holes required to pump the foam into the concrete are the size of a dime, making them nearly unnoticeable upon the repair’s completion.

Don was another happy Davenport customer and told us, “[Foundation Specialist] Dave Kerlin was very personable, extremely knowledgeable and helpful when conducting a detailed site visit. He provided me the opportunity to visit a home where a crew was in process of lifting a large porch foundation several inches. Watching this process helped alleviate any fears and concerns with the lifting/pier process. Dave came to our home after the lifting process was completed to ensure our complete satisfaction.”

When our crew looked at this sidewalk in Pleasant Grove that was needing lifting they chose to use slab jack to help bring the sidewalk up to where it needed to be and then inject the poly to fill in the void. The slab jack gave them the additional help they needed to make sure they achieved the desired results for our customer.

Gail found us through an internet search for contractors that can repair a large crack in her driveway. Davenport Foundation Repair takes pride in the workmanship we do as well as our products and approach to fix the problem right. 

Our team repaired a 12' crack in the driveway with our NexusPro and then sealed the joints and the driveway surface to protect the concrete from the elements.

Nathan was looking online for a solution to keep the basement of his brand-new home dry and usable when he came across Davenport Foundation Repair. Nathan gave us a call to set up a free onsite estimate to discuss his options. We sent out one of our top system design specialists Jesi to take a look and provide a quote.

Once the decision was made to proceed, our expert team got to work trenching out along the perimeter of the basement to install the WaterGuard drainage system that channels any water that might infiltrate his basement into the SuperSump that we installed as well. The sump will pump out through discharge lines and carry the water away from his foundation. 

A free inspection from Davenport Foundation Repair helped the homeowner fully understand the cause of their issue. The specialist explained that soil erosion beneath the basement slab had created voids, leading to the sinking floor. The best solution was PolyLevel® foam injection, a lightweight yet powerful material designed to lift and stabilize concrete permanently.

The homeowner felt confident choosing Davenport Foundation Repair because:

✅ PolyLevel® is lightweight yet strong, ensuring the slab wouldn’t settle again.
✅ It cures within minutes, minimizing downtime.
✅ It’s waterproof, preventing future erosion.
✅ It’s noninvasive, requiring only small injection holes rather than large excavations.

With a trusted expert team and a proven repair method, they were ready to move forward.

The Repair Process: Quick & Noninvasive Concrete Leveling

On the scheduled repair day, the Davenport Foundation Repair team arrived promptly and followed a precise, minimally invasive process:

1. Inspection & Preparation: The team assessed the affected areas and marked the injection points.
2. Small Injection Holes Drilled: Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel® requires only small, penny-sized holes in the concrete.
3. PolyLevel® Foam Injection: The expanding polyurethane foam was injected beneath the slab, where it quickly filled voids, stabilized loose soil, and lifted the floor to its original level.
4. Immediate Results & Clean Finish: Within 15 minutes, the basement floor was fully stabilized, and the injection holes were patched seamlessly.

The homeowner appreciated the team’s efficiency, and the repair was completed within a few hours.

The Transformation: A Safer, More Secure Basement Floor

After the repair, the difference was immediately noticeable:

✅ The basement floor was level again, eliminating trip hazards and uneven spots.
✅ Interior doors now closed smoothly without resistance.

Even better, PolyLevel®’s waterproof and long-lasting properties ensured the problem wouldn’t return, even with Payson’s seasonal soil changes.

In Lindon, Utah, a homeowner faced one of the most severe foundation failures we've ever encountered. What began as minor cracks in the drywall quickly escalated into a multi-faceted structural issue that required an extensive, expertly engineered response. This case study outlines the signs, causes, and successful resolution of this foundation disaster, demonstrating the importance of early detection and professional repair.

The Warning Signs: Cracks, Separation, and Sinking

The first visible signs of trouble were cracks in the drywall, a classic early warning signal of foundation movement. However, these weren't limited to cosmetic hairline fractures — they extended across walls and widened over time, indicating significant structural movement below the surface.

Upon inspection, it was clear the concrete slab floor was also affected. Sections of the slab had visibly sunk and cracked, as captured in the images above. In some areas, you could even see daylight beneath the baseboards, showing just how far the structure had shifted away from its original placement. These symptoms suggested a major loss of soil support under the foundation — a dangerous scenario for any home.

Understanding the Cause: Unique Utah Soil Conditions

Foundation issues in Utah often stem from the region’s soil composition and climate. Lindon, like many parts of Utah County, sits on a mix of expansive clay soils and loamy substrates that swell when wet and shrink during dry periods. Add in freeze-thaw cycles and potential poor drainage around the home, and you’ve got a recipe for serious foundation instability.

Over time, these soil shifts can cause uneven support beneath a home’s foundation. If not corrected, this leads to settling, floor sinking, and structural cracking — just like what happened in this Lindon home.

The Solution: PolyLevel Injection and 80 Steel Foundation Piers

Given the magnitude of the damage, a typical foundation fix simply wouldn’t suffice. Our team designed a multi-tiered approach using two proven technologies:

1. PolyLevel Concrete Lifting:
   We began by stabilizing and lifting the sunken concrete slab using PolyLevel — a high-density polyurethane foam injected beneath the concrete. As the foam expands, it fills voids in the soil and raises the slab back to its original level. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, long-lasting, and minimally invasive.

2. Installation of 80 Foundation Piers:
   To address the underlying structural failure, we installed approximately 80 steel push piers around the home’s foundation. These piers were driven deep into load-bearing soil or bedrock, bypassing the unstable upper layers entirely. Once the piers were in place, they were used to lift and permanently stabilize the home.

This combination of technologies not only stopped further movement but also corrected the settling that had already occurred.

Total Cost and Scope: A Major Investment in Stability

At a total project cost of $144,000, this was one of the largest residential foundation repairs we’ve completed in Utah. It serves as a powerful reminder that while preventative maintenance and early intervention may come with a price, ignoring warning signs can lead to far costlier repairs in the future.

Key Takeaways for Utah Homeowners

• Cracks Aren’t Just Cosmetic:
  Cracks in drywall, concrete slabs, or along baseboards can be signs of a deeper issue. Don't ignore them.

• Soil Movement Is Common in Utah:
  Expansive clay soils, freeze-thaw cycles, and inconsistent moisture levels can wreak havoc on foundations over time.

• Early Inspections Save Money:
  If caught early, foundation issues can often be corrected with fewer piers, less disruption, and lower cost.

• Permanent Fixes Require Engineering:
  DIY fixes or cosmetic patches won't solve a settling foundation. Steel piers and structural solutions like PolyLevel offer long-term protection.

Conclusion: Peace of Mind Restored

Thanks to a thorough inspection and engineered repair plan, this home in Lindon is now structurally sound and stabilized for the future. The transformation wasn’t just physical — it also brought peace of mind to the homeowner, knowing their most valuable investment is safe.

For Utah homeowners, this case is a powerful reminder of how local soil conditions and subtle signs of damage can spiral into major repairs if left unaddressed. If you’re noticing signs of settlement, don’t wait — get a professional foundation inspection and protect your home today.
