We Service Antioch!
Antioch’s warm summers and clay-rich soils combine to create significant stress on home foundations. The clay expands when wet and contracts during dry periods, causing movement that leads to cracks, settling, and structural misalignment. Homes in newer developments as well as older neighborhoods can be affected, often requiring leveling or foundation repair to address the problem.
The area is also vulnerable to seismic activity from nearby fault lines, including the Concord and Greenville Faults. Earthquake preparedness is crucial in Antioch, particularly for older homes lacking reinforcement. Seismic retrofitting can help secure the foundation and improve the structure’s ability to withstand seismic shocks.
Drainage is another key concern in Antioch, where heavy winter rains can cause water buildup around foundations, especially in flat or poorly graded areas. Without proper systems in place, water can lead to hydrostatic pressure, leaks, and soil erosion. French drains, sump systems, and appropriate guttering are essential tools to manage drainage and protect foundations.
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.
