We Service San Leandro!
San Leandro’s diverse landscape, stretching from the Bay shoreline to the East Bay hills, presents a variety of foundation challenges. In the flatlands, homes built on soft bay fill or clay soils often experience settling and shifting, leading to foundation cracks and uneven flooring. In the hillside neighborhoods, soil erosion and movement can put additional pressure on foundations, requiring professional repair and leveling to ensure stability.
The city’s proximity to the Hayward Fault also makes seismic activity a significant concern for San Leandro homeowners. Many houses, particularly older ones, were built before modern seismic codes and may lack proper reinforcements. Seismic retrofitting—such as foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, and the installation of shear walls—can help protect these homes during an earthquake and reduce the risk of structural damage.
Drainage issues are prevalent in San Leandro, especially in areas with poor grading or inadequate drainage systems. Heavy rains can lead to water pooling around foundations, increasing hydrostatic pressure and causing cracks or leaks. Installing effective drainage solutions, like French drains, sump pumps, and retaining walls, is essential to manage water flow and protect homes from long-term moisture-related foundation problems.
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.
