A sticking door. A crack that wasn't there last spring. A corner of the house that feels slightly off when you set a ball on the floor and it rolls. These are the first signs most Draper homeowners notice, and they usually mean the soil under the slab has moved.
Riverton Foundation Pros handles the full range, from a single hairline crack to multi-pier underpinning. Draper's hillside bench lots near Point of the Mountain settle at a different rate than flat valley ground, so the fix depends on where your house sits and how the soil under it has behaved.
What's included
What's included
- Foundation inspection — a full walkthrough of the exterior and basement or crawl space to map movement.
- Crack mapping — measuring width, length, and direction to separate cosmetic cracks from structural ones.
- Pier placement planning — when settlement is confirmed, we mark pier locations before any digging starts.
- Moisture check — basements and crawl spaces get checked for water intrusion tied to the same movement.
- Written scope — a clear estimate listing materials and steps before work begins.

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
Draper's graded hillside lots mean fill soil compacts unevenly, so the repair method has to match what's actually happening underground, not a one-size-fits-all fix.
Steel Push Piers
Provide deep support by transferring structural weight to stable soil layers below the compacting fill common on newer Draper lots.
Helical Piers
Offer adjustable depth support ideal for lighter structures and additions, useful where access around the home is tight.
Foundation Brackets
Secure piers to the foundation for consistent load transfer, keeping the repair stable long after the crew leaves.
Hydraulic Jacks
Used to carefully lift and level settled foundation sections without over-correcting.
Structural Shims
Placed to fine-tune elevation adjustments during leveling, especially on multi-pier jobs.
Waterproof Sealant
Applied to repaired areas to prevent future moisture intrusion, important given Draper's full-basement housing stock.

Foundation Repair FAQs
Will my homeowners insurance cover foundation settlement?
Most standard policies exclude gradual settlement, since it's considered a maintenance issue rather than sudden damage. Some policies do cover damage from a burst pipe or storm that caused rapid movement, so it's worth checking your specific policy language before assuming either way.
Do I need a permit for foundation repair in Draper?
Structural work like piering or underpinning usually needs a permit through the city or Salt Lake County. Surface crack injection typically doesn't. We can tell you which applies once we've seen the scope.
What's the warning sign that my foundation issue is getting worse?
A crack that's visibly wider than it was last season, a door or window that's started sticking recently, or a gap opening up between the foundation and a porch slab. Any of those means it's time to get it looked at rather than wait.
What's the difference between crack repair and underpinning?
Crack repair seals an opening in the concrete. Underpinning adds structural support beneath the foundation to stop or correct settlement. A crack can sometimes be the only symptom, but if the foundation is actually moving, sealing the crack alone won't fix the cause.
How much does foundation repair typically cost?
It ranges widely. A single crack injection might run a few hundred dollars. A multi-pier underpinning job can run into the thousands. Pricing depends on severity, access, and how many support points are needed.
