We Service Dublin!
Dublin’s rapid growth and development have brought many new homes to the area, but the city’s underlying soil and seismic risks still pose challenges for foundation stability. Many homes in Dublin are built on expansive clay soils that swell during the rainy season and shrink in dry months. This soil movement can cause foundation settling, leading to cracks in walls, uneven floors, and other structural concerns that require professional repair.
The city’s location near the Calaveras Fault puts Dublin at risk for seismic activity, making earthquake preparedness a critical consideration for homeowners. Even newer homes may benefit from additional seismic retrofitting, including foundation bolting and cripple wall bracing, to ensure they can withstand a major earthquake. Older homes, in particular, may require significant retrofitting to meet current safety standards.
Drainage is another common concern in Dublin, especially in neighborhoods with sloped lots or poor soil grading. Seasonal rains can cause water to accumulate around foundations, leading to hydrostatic pressure, soil erosion, and potential leaks. Installing proper drainage systems like French drains, sump pumps, and retaining walls helps divert water away from foundations and protects homes from long-term water-related damage.
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.
