Utah's Wasatch Front has some unusual soils. Collapsible soils are dry, loose deposits that compact and drop once they get wet, and other areas have expansive clay that swells instead. A leak or a broken sprinkler line can be enough to trigger movement.
Snowmelt is the main source of water. Runoff from the mountains and thaw around your home soak the ground each spring, and winter frost goes deep. The region is also earthquake country, so older homes deserve a look at how they're attached to their foundations.
Most homes here have basements, so walls and leaks top the list. We stabilize walls under spring soil pressure, handle drainage and add piers where the soil has dropped. We'll also tell you when your soil needs testing first.
