We Service Mill Valley!

Mill Valley’s lush landscape and steep hillsides are beautiful but pose serious structural risks. Homes here are often built into sloped terrain where soil erosion and shifting are common—especially after heavy rains. This constant soil movement can cause foundations to settle or shift, leading to visible cracks, uneven flooring, and compromised structural stability.

The city’s location near the San Andreas Fault means seismic safety is a top priority. Many Mill Valley homes—particularly older ones—may lack the structural reinforcement needed to withstand significant ground shaking. Seismic retrofitting, including bolting and cripple wall bracing, is an effective way to help protect against earthquake-related damage and preserve the home’s integrity.

Mill Valley also sees its share of drainage issues due to runoff from surrounding hills and the area’s wet winters. Without proper drainage systems in place, water can pool around the foundation, leading to hydrostatic pressure and potential water intrusion. French drains, swales, and sump pumps can help redirect water and protect homes from moisture-related structural problems.

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.
