Foundation Repair

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.
