We Service Novato!

Novato’s mix of clay-rich soils and varied elevation means foundation issues are a regular concern for homeowners. Many homes in the area experience shifting and settling as soil expands in winter and contracts during the dry summer months. This movement can cause cracks, tilting walls, and misaligned doors—signs that foundation repair or leveling may be needed.

Earthquakes are another concern in Novato, which lies near the Rodgers Creek and San Andreas Fault zones. Seismic activity can lead to foundation damage, especially in homes built before current building codes were adopted. Seismic retrofitting services like bolting and bracing can significantly reduce risk and improve home safety during a quake.

Drainage can also be problematic in Novato, particularly in neighborhoods with poor stormwater management or insufficient grading. During the rainy season, water pooling near the foundation can lead to soil erosion, hydrostatic pressure, and structural damage. Installing French drains, sump systems, and improved surface grading can help protect Novato homes from water-related foundation problems.
