Frequently Asked Questions
Why is proper drainage important for my foundation?
Poor drainage can lead to water pooling around your foundation, and a damp crawl space causing soil expansion, and erosion, which can weaken your foundation over time. Installing proper drainage solutions helps protect your home from costly structural damage. We offer estimates and make recommendations, so please call for your professional estimate.
What are the signs of poor drainage around my home?
Signs include water pooling near your foundation, damp or musty smells in your basement or crawl space, cracks in foundation walls, mold growth, and soil erosion around your home. If you notice these issues, a professional drainage consultation is recommended.
What drainage solutions do you offer?
We offer a variety of drainage solutions, including French drains, sump pumps, surface drains, and grading improvements to direct water away from your home’s foundation.
What is a French drain, and how does it work?
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that redirects groundwater and rainwater away from your foundation. It helps prevent water buildup and reduces pressure on foundation walls. We can provide a consultation to see if a French drain is your best option.
Do I need a sump pump for my home?
If there is not enough elevation change to slope the drainage system to the street, or to another approved point of discharge such as a creek or storm drain, a sump pump might be necessary. Water from the drainage system would need to be collected into a sump, and then a pump will discharge the water to the designated area.
How do I know if my home needs foundation repair?
Common signs of foundation problems include cracks in walls or floors, doors and windows that stick or don’t close properly, sloping or uneven floors, and gaps between walls and ceilings. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to schedule a professional estimate to determine if foundation repairs are needed.
What causes foundation problems?
Foundation issues can be caused by a variety of factors, including soil movement, poor drainage, seismic activity, tree root intrusion, and water damage. Expansive clay soils, which shrink and swell with moisture changes, are a common cause of foundation settling in the Bay Area.
How much does foundation repair cost?
The cost of foundation repair depends on the severity of the issue, the size of your home, and the repair method needed. We can provide a professional estimate for your specific situation.
Can you fix sloping or uneven floors inside my home?
Yes, uneven floors often indicate foundation settling or shifting. We assess the cause of the issue and provide leveling solutions, such as foundation replacement, underpinning, or cosmetic leveling, to provide stability and a level living space.
