We Service Greenbrae!

Greenbrae’s location along the Bay and its hilly terrain present unique challenges for home foundations. Many properties in the area are built on expansive clay soils that expand and contract with moisture changes, leading to foundation settling, cracks, and uneven floors. In hillside neighborhoods, soil erosion and slope movement can further compromise foundation stability, requiring professional repair and leveling.

The risk of seismic activity is another significant concern in Greenbrae, given its proximity to the San Andreas Fault. Earthquakes can cause ground shaking and soil displacement, posing a threat to homes that lack proper seismic reinforcements. Seismic retrofitting—including foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, and shear wall installation—can help protect homes from seismic damage and improve their structural resilience.

Drainage problems are prevalent in Greenbrae, especially in areas with poor soil grading or steep slopes. Heavy rains can cause water to pool around foundations, increasing hydrostatic pressure and leading to cracks or leaks. Installing effective drainage systems, such as French drains, sump pumps, and retaining walls, helps manage water flow and protects Greenbrae homes from moisture-related foundation issues.
