We Service Hayward!
Hayward’s location directly on the Hayward Fault makes it one of the most seismically active cities in the Bay Area, posing a significant risk to homeowners. Many houses in Hayward, especially older ones, may lack the necessary reinforcements to withstand seismic activity, leading to potential structural failure during an earthquake. Seismic retrofitting—such as foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, and adding shear walls—is critical to improving the safety and durability of these homes.
Foundation challenges in Hayward are also common due to the city’s varied topography and underlying soil conditions. Homes built on expansive clay soils or soft bay fill can experience settling and shifting over time, leading to foundation cracks, uneven floors, and structural instability. Professional foundation leveling and repair are often required to address these issues and maintain the integrity of the home.
Drainage is another important consideration for Hayward homeowners. Seasonal rains can cause water to pool around foundations, particularly in flat areas or low-lying neighborhoods. This can lead to hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls, resulting in leaks, cracks, and long-term damage. Installing proper drainage solutions—such as French drains, sump pumps, and improved grading—helps protect foundations from moisture-related issues.
Foundation Repair
Our Bay Area foundation repair operations are comprehensive. We repair, lift, replace, and level all types of foundations.
Retaining Walls
It is often necessary to install a retaining wall to prevent soil movement. Our team installs solid, well-designed retaining walls to prevent landslides, mudslides, and ultimately, foundation problems.
Drainage
Proper drainage around homes is critical for stabilizing the soil and preventing damage to the foundation from excess water. Your foundation is designed to be supported by dry soil, not wet soil. We design and install drainage systems and retaining walls, to keep your home safe and dry.
Leveling
Our leveling services address uneven floors and misaligned structural components by restoring your foundation to its proper position, preventing further damage, enhancing the overall stability of your home and relieving stress on the structure so it will perform better during earthquakes.
Seismic Retrofit
Seismic retrofitting involves strengthening your existing foundation and structure to better absorb and distribute the energy generated by an earthquake. This reduces the risk of catastrophic failure, ensuring the safety of your home and family during a seismic event.
