We Service Danville!
Danville’s charming neighborhoods, set against the rolling hills of Contra Costa County, present specific foundation challenges for homeowners. Many properties are built on expansive soils that shift with changes in moisture levels, causing foundation settling, cracks, and uneven flooring. Homes built on sloped lots face additional risks due to soil erosion and hillside movement, which can further impact structural integrity.
The seismic risk in Danville is significant due to the area’s proximity to both the Calaveras and Hayward Faults. Many homes, especially older ones, may not meet modern seismic codes and are vulnerable to damage during an earthquake. Seismic retrofitting—including foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, and shear wall installation—is essential to protect these homes and ensure they can withstand seismic events.
Drainage issues are also common in Danville, especially in hillside neighborhoods where rainwater runoff can cause soil erosion and put pressure on foundation walls. Without proper drainage systems, water can accumulate around the foundation, leading to cracks, leaks, and long-term structural damage. Effective solutions like French drains, retaining walls, and proper grading help manage water flow and protect the integrity of Danville homes.
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.
