We Service Concord!

Concord’s flat terrain and underlying clay-rich soils make foundation settling a common issue for local homeowners. As these soils expand and contract with moisture fluctuations, they place uneven pressure on foundations, leading to cracking, sloping floors, and structural stress. Professional foundation repair and leveling can correct these issues and help maintain long-term stability.

Concord is situated near the Concord-Green Valley and Hayward Fault zones, making it vulnerable to seismic activity. Earthquakes can trigger significant ground movement, especially in areas with unstable or saturated soils. Homes that haven’t been seismically retrofitted may face serious damage. Retrofitting options such as foundation bolting and cripple wall bracing can help protect Concord homes from future quake-related destruction.

Drainage concerns in Concord are also widespread, especially in older neighborhoods where aging infrastructure or poor site grading can lead to water accumulation around foundations. Seasonal rains can cause hydrostatic pressure and soil erosion, both of which increase the risk of foundation damage. Proper drainage systems, including French drains and sump pumps, are critical for preventing moisture-related foundation 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.
