We Service Kensington!
Perched in the East Bay Hills, Kensington boasts breathtaking views but also presents unique foundation and structural challenges. The area’s hilly terrain makes homes particularly susceptible to soil movement, especially during heavy rains or periods of drought when the soil expands and contracts. Over time, this shifting soil can lead to foundation settling, uneven floors, and cracked walls, which may require professional foundation leveling and reinforcement.
Like much of the East Bay, Kensington is at significant risk of seismic activity due to its close proximity to the Hayward Fault. Many of the homes in this area were built decades ago and were not designed with modern earthquake safety standards in mind. Without proper seismic retrofitting, these homes may be at high risk of damage or collapse in the event of a major earthquake. Retrofitting measures such as foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, and shear wall installation can provide much-needed stability.
In addition to seismic risks, drainage issues are a common concern in Kensington. The steep slopes mean that rainwater can quickly accumulate, leading to erosion and foundation instability. Homeowners often need to invest in retaining walls, drainage systems, and proper grading to direct water away from their foundations and prevent long-term structural issues.
