Eighth Wonder Kraftsmen: Local Fence Contractors Serving Kearns, UT 84118

The main cause is our clay-heavy soil that expands and contracts with moisture, combined with strong winds. This shifts fence posts over time. Our solution involves digging deeper post holes and filling them with a concrete mix designed for our local soil conditions. We also use heavier-gauge materials and proper bracing to keep your fence straight and sturdy for years.

Yes, it's common here due to freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement. Small cracks can allow water underneath, which heaves the slab in winter. We can repair that with a professional concrete patch or, for severe damage, replace the section with reinforced concrete that includes control joints to manage future cracking. We also ensure proper drainage away from the slab to prevent water pooling.

Absolutely. The key is proper base preparation and drainage. We excavate down to stable soil, add a gravel base, and use interlocking blocks or poured concrete with drainage pipes behind the wall. This prevents hydrostatic pressure from building up behind the wall, which is the main reason walls fail in Kearns. We also use geogrid reinforcement for taller walls to handle the soil load.
