We Service Moraga!
Moraga’s serene valley setting and surrounding hills present unique foundation and structural challenges for homeowners. The area is known for its clay-rich soils, which expand and contract with moisture changes, leading to foundation settling and movement. Over time, this can cause cracks in walls, uneven floors, and other signs of structural instability that may require professional foundation repair and leveling.
Though Moraga is somewhat farther from the major fault lines compared to neighboring cities, it still faces seismic risks. Homes built before modern seismic codes may not be adequately reinforced, leaving them vulnerable to earthquake damage. Seismic retrofitting—such as adding foundation bolts and reinforcing cripple walls—can help protect these homes during seismic events and ensure the safety of their occupants.
Drainage issues are common in Moraga due to its hilly terrain and clay soils, which can retain water during rainy seasons. Poor drainage can lead to soil erosion, hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls, and water intrusion into basements or crawl spaces. Installing proper drainage solutions, like French drains and sump pumps, can help manage water flow and safeguard the structural integrity of Moraga homes.
