We Service Clayton!

Clayton’s foothill setting near Mount Diablo offers scenic beauty but also presents geological risks to foundations. Many homes are built on clay-heavy soils that expand and contract with seasonal moisture, leading to cracks in the foundation and shifting over time. These issues can cause uneven floors, cracks in drywall, and structural misalignment—often requiring professional leveling and repair.

Although it’s a quieter town, Clayton still faces seismic risk due to nearby fault lines. Older homes in particular may not be built to current seismic standards and are more susceptible to earthquake damage. Seismic retrofitting can significantly increase the structural resilience of these homes by reinforcing the foundation and anchoring the building properly.

Drainage issues in Clayton are especially common on sloped lots where water runoff can lead to erosion around foundations and retaining walls. Without proper drainage systems, homes are at risk of water intrusion and foundation weakening. French drains, grading corrections, and sump pumps are key tools for keeping homes dry and structurally sound.

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.
