Services
Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair services address cracks, settlement, and structural instability using advanced techniques like underpinning and caissons. We conduct thorough inspections to identify root causes, such as soil issues or water damage, and implement durable solutions. Clients benefit from our expertise in retrofitting older homes and ensuring compliance with local building codes, providing long-term safety and property value protection.
Drainage Solutions
We design and install customized drainage systems to prevent water intrusion and soil erosion. Services include French drains, sump pumps, and surface drainage upgrades. Our team evaluates property-specific challenges like clay soil or hillside gradients to create efficient water diversion strategies. This protects foundations from hydrostatic pressure and mitigates risks of mold and structural damage.
Earthquake Retrofitting
Specializing in earthquake safety, we reinforce structures with bolting, bracing, and soft-story retrofits. Our engineers develop plans to meet California's seismic standards, ensuring homes withstand tremors. Clients receive detailed assessments of vulnerabilities and cost-effective reinforcement options, enhancing safety without compromising architectural integrity.
Concrete Services
We offer comprehensive concrete solutions, including slab repair, resurfacing, and new installations. Our team addresses cracks, spalling, and uneven surfaces using rebar reinforcement and high-strength materials. Projects range from driveways to pool decks, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal while adhering to strict durability standards.
House Leveling
Our house leveling process corrects uneven floors caused by foundation settlement. Using hydraulic jacks and support piers, we restore structural alignment and prevent further damage. The service includes soil assessment, shimming warped wood, and reinforcing foundations to ensure long-term stability and safety for aging properties.
