Before & After Photos

Severe foundation settlement caused large stair step cracks in this commercial building located in Midvale, Utah. There was severe wall and roof separation. We installed 14 piers on the interior of the building to lift and stabilize a sinking foundation. Our crew excavated the foundation footer and partially removed it to install the pier in the proper position. Once the piers were in place, the building was lifted back to stability and gaps in the brick of the stair step cracks closed.

This home's foundation was built on a mix of Sandy-Clay soil. The home began to settle one inch over the course of a year. We recently piered the home returning it's integrity and making it structurally sound once again.

A recently piered home in Holladay is now separation crack free.

Using our piering system, we were able to stabalize this home in Holladay, Utah and close the gaps and cracks in the walls. Cracking in the walls and around the windows is a common sign that a home has a sinking foundation.

For one homeowner in Willard, UT, what started as a small inconvenience quickly turned into a significant safety concern. Their front walkway—once a seamless path to the entrance—had begun to sink unevenly, creating dangerous tripping hazards. The concrete slabs had shifted so much that a noticeable gap formed between the walkway and the front porch step, making it difficult to navigate safely.

Beyond safety concerns, the homeowner worried about how this issue could affect their property value and curb appeal. A sinking walkway signaled potential soil instability, which, if left unaddressed, could lead to more extensive foundation problems. Over time, the issue worsened, and with each passing season, the homeowner knew something had to be done before the damage became even more costly.

Determined to find a permanent fix, the homeowner began researching concrete leveling solutions in Willard. While traditional methods like mudjacking were considered, they were ultimately dismissed due to their invasive nature and the risk of recurrence. DIY solutions—such as attempting to patch the gaps with cement—were neither practical nor effective for the level of settlement that had occurred.

Through their research, the homeowner discovered that concrete settlement is often linked to unstable soil. They needed a solution that would not only lift the slabs but also stabilize the ground beneath to prevent future sinking.

Why Davenport Foundation Repair?

After exploring several companies, the homeowner came across Davenport Foundation Repair, a trusted name in concrete leveling and foundation stabilization in Willard, UT. Impressed by their PolyLevel® Injection Foam technology and stellar customer reviews, they decided to schedule a free inspection.

A Davenport specialist arrived at their home to assess the walkway. They found that erosion had created voids beneath the concrete slabs, causing them to settle unevenly. Unlike traditional concrete lifting methods, PolyLevel® offered a lightweight, waterproof, and long-lasting solution that wouldn’t add unnecessary weight to the already unstable soil.

The homeowner was reassured by the team’s expertise, the clear explanation of the repair process, and the commitment to delivering a long-term fix rather than a temporary patch. Confident in their decision, they moved forward with the repair.

The Repair Process

The Davenport Foundation Repair team arrived on-site and efficiently restored the walkway using PolyLevel® Injection Foam. The repair process involved:

1. Small Injection Holes Drilled – Technicians drilled small, discreet holes in the concrete slabs to prepare for the foam injection.
2. PolyLevel® Foam Injected – The expanding polyurethane foam was injected beneath the concrete, filling the voids caused by soil erosion and lifting the slabs back into place.
3. Precision Leveling – The team carefully monitored the lift, ensuring the walkway was perfectly even before completing the process. Unlike mudjacking, which relies on heavy, messy slurry, PolyLevel® provides a controlled, lightweight lift.
4. Quick Curing Time – Within 15 minutes, the foam had fully cured, allowing the homeowner to safely walk on the newly leveled surface the same day.
5. Final Inspection – The crew performed a final check to ensure stability and alignment, leaving the site clean and the homeowner completely satisfied.

The results were immediate and dramatic. The walkway, which had once been an uneven, hazardous mess, was now restored to a smooth, level surface.

✅ Improved curb appeal

Unlike traditional repair methods, PolyLevel® won’t wash away over time, ensuring that the homeowner never has to worry about sinking slabs again.
