We Service El Sobrante!

El Sobrante’s rolling hills and varied soil conditions pose specific challenges for home foundations. Many properties are built on expansive clay soils, which expand during the wet season and contract in dry months. This constant soil movement can lead to foundation settling, cracks in walls, and uneven floors, requiring professional repair and leveling to maintain structural stability.

The area is also at risk of seismic activity due to its proximity to the Hayward Fault. Homes that lack modern seismic retrofitting are particularly vulnerable during earthquakes. Reinforcing foundations with bolting, cripple wall bracing, and shear wall installation can help protect homes from structural damage and improve their resilience during seismic events.

Drainage issues are common in El Sobrante, especially on sloped properties where water runoff can cause soil erosion and foundation instability. Poor drainage can lead to hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls, resulting in cracks, leaks, and water intrusion. Installing proper drainage systems, such as French drains and retaining walls, is essential to manage water flow and safeguard the structural integrity of El Sobrante 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.
