One property on Artesian Road in Orem shows exactly how the right approach can restore stability when shifting soils threaten a home...

Superior Foundation Repair Utah delivers dependable solutions for homeowners facing serious structural problems. Helical pier systems, professional engineering, and decades of hands-on experience make foundation lifting both precise and gentle.
Don't let more damage happen to your home
Construction of the residence dates back to 1995. This 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom split-level house offers 2,100 square feet of living space in a well-established neighborhood. Over the years, severe foundation shifting caused one corner of the structure to sink 11 inches. Damage reached a point where the city planned to condemn the building. That was the moment Superior Foundation Repair Utah entered the story—and thankfully, not wearing a cape or anything, just work boots and a hard hat.
Excavation near the affected wall revealed a surprising challenge. Soil beneath the home smelled like swamp conditions instead of typical Utah ground. High moisture levels, a natural spring running under the front of the property, and a high water table across the street at Springwater Park created unstable support. The area is known for lakebed sediment and formerly being a pond. No flooding occurred in the community, but underground water movement quietly affected the foundation. Artesian Road earned its name for a reason, and the park to the south is called Springwater Park with zero irony intended.
To complete the foundation lifting, the Superior Foundation Repair team installed 23 helical piers. Each pier was placed to a minimum capacity of 1,500 PSI. Depths ranged from 33 to 40 feet, with some piles extending down 43 feet to reach competent load-bearing soil. Helical pier installation provided a stable system designed for long-term results. Adjustable steel brackets attached securely to the side of the foundation allowed the structure to rise evenly across all four walls.
Push pile systems were considered, but helical piers offered clear advantages. Push piles can feel abrupt and may cause additional cracking during a lift if not handled carefully. Helical piles create controlled support with greater efficiency and reliability. Nearby homes in the neighborhood confirmed that difference. One homeowner selected another contractor and used push piles. Halfway through the project, funds ran out and the work stopped short of completion. Catastrophic structural issues require steady methods, not experiments, and Superior Foundation Repair Utah specializes in systems proven along the Wasatch Front.
Push piers are hydraulically driven into the ground using the home's weight, making them better for heavier structures but requiring more excavation and unsuitable for lighter buildings like residential homes.
The cost depends on depth requirements, soil type, and the size of your footing. We offer FREE inspections and detailed quotes so you can make informed decisions without pressure. To give you a rough idea,
typical costs range $1,999 to $4,000 per Peir. Depending heavily on site access, soil conditions, pier depth, and the number of piers needed. Another condition is do you need helical piers only on the exterior or does concrete have to be removed and they would have helical piers on the interior of the structure?
Yes, helical piers are widely used and highly effective for both new commercial construction and foundation repair, offering fast, reliable deep foundation support for everything from small retail to large industrial and multi-story buildings.
Yes, we offer a warranty on our foundation repair services.
Helical Piers are very durable, lasting 75 to over 150 years, often exceeding the life of the structure, as they are made of galvanized steel to resist corrosion and transfer loads to stable soil. Contact us and one of our trained professionals will inform you of the details of your project.
Gas lines and utility piping on the Artesian Road home received special attention. Workers dug out the gas lines by hand to provide relief and prevent damage while the house was lifted. Many contractors focus only on concrete lifting, but the pipes entering a home move as well. Careful excavation created enough room so lines remained protected. The image of that process may not win a beauty contest, but it would absolutely win a “done correctly” contest, which is the one people actually care about.
After stabilization and foundation lifting were finished, an independent structural engineer inspection took place. The home passed inspection with flying colors. Plans for condemnation were canceled, and the once-abandoned property returned to safe condition. The investment firm that purchased the house chose wisely by selecting Superior Foundation Repair Utah as the contractor. Smart investors recognize value, and smart foundations recognize torque—those are just scientific facts with hard hats.
Void fills were also completed beneath the lifted sections of the structure. These fills restored support to empty spaces created during the lift and ensured even bearing. The helical pier system now holds the foundation securely without additional concrete driveways damage. Photos below highlight the brackets that connect the helical piers to the side of the foundation and show the special care given to critical utilities.
