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.
