Piering and underpinning transfers the weight of a settling foundation down to stable soil or bedrock, stopping further movement at the source instead of just patching the surface. Lindon sits on bench terrain below the Wasatch Range, and lots here carry a mix of clay and sandy fill that shifts more than people expect once seasonal moisture swings in.
Lindon Foundation Pros uses steel push piers and helical piers depending on soil depth and the load the foundation is carrying, with every job designed around what's actually under the house, not a one-size answer.
What's included
What's Included With Piering and Underpinning
Typically included: structural evaluation, pier placement plan, excavation at pier points, pier driving to load-bearing strata, foundation leveling, backfill and grade restoration. Optional: interior finish touch-ups near excavation points, drainage correction if water contributed to the settlement. Customer prep: clear access along the foundation perimeter and move anything stored within a few feet of the exterior walls.

How Our Piering and Underpinning Process Works
Step 1Load Assessment
The structure's weight distribution is analyzed to determine pier placement.
Step 2Access Excavation
Small excavation points are created along the foundation perimeter.
Step 3Pier Driving
Piers are driven or screwed into the ground until reaching stable strata.
Step 4Load Transfer
Brackets connect the piers to the foundation to redistribute structural weight.
Step 5Leveling Adjustment
Hydraulic equipment carefully raises the foundation to its intended position.
Step 6Site Restoration
Excavated areas are backfilled and compacted to match the original grade.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Piering and Underpinning
Pier selection depends on how deep stable soil sits below a given lot and how much load the foundation carries.
Steel Push Piers
Deliver deep, reliable support for heavier structural loads and are driven until they hit resistance in stable strata below Lindon's shifting clay layers.
Helical Piers
Provide torque-driven support suitable for variable soil conditions, useful on bench lots where sandy fill mixes unevenly with clay.
Underpinning Brackets
Connect piers securely to existing foundation footings so load transfers evenly instead of concentrating at one point.
Hydraulic Lift Systems
Used to achieve controlled and precise foundation elevation changes during the leveling stage.
Galvanized Coatings
Protect steel components from corrosion over time, important given seasonal moisture swings along the Wasatch Front.
Compacted Fill Material
Used to stabilize soil around newly installed piers so the surrounding grade holds.

FAQs
Piering and Underpinning FAQs
How much does piering and underpinning cost in Lindon?
Cost depends on pier count, pier type, and depth to stable soil. Steel piers generally run more per unit than helical piers but handle heavier loads. A site visit gives an exact number.
How long does a piering job take?
A few piers at one corner can finish in a day or two. A full perimeter underpinning job on a larger settlement issue usually takes two to five days.
Do I need a permit for pier installation in Utah County?
Structural piering is load-bearing work and typically requires a permit through Utah County's building department. We handle the filing as part of the process.
Is DIY piering realistic?
No. Pier placement depends on engineering judgment about soil depth and load distribution. Guessing on spacing or depth risks uneven settlement later.
When should I call about piering?
Call if you see a foundation corner sinking, a crack that keeps widening year over year, or doors that only stick seasonally and the issue is getting worse.
What affects piering pricing the most?
Number of piers needed, depth to reach stable soil, and site access all move the price more than anything else.
What's typically included in a piering estimate?
Inspection, pier plan, installation, load transfer, leveling, and backfill. Interior cosmetic repair is usually a separate line item.
How do I prepare for a piering job?
Clear a few feet of access along the exterior foundation wall and move any patio furniture, planters, or stored items away from the work area.
