We Service Piedmont!
Piedmont, with its tree-lined streets and elegant homes, sits atop the East Bay hills, where unique geological conditions can create foundation challenges. Many Piedmont homes are built on sloped lots with expansive soils, which are prone to shifting due to seasonal moisture changes. This soil movement can cause foundation settling, resulting in visible cracks, uneven floors, and compromised structural integrity over time.
Seismic risk is another major concern in Piedmont, as the city is located near the Hayward Fault, one of California’s most active fault lines. Many of the older homes in Piedmont were constructed before modern seismic codes and are particularly vulnerable during an earthquake. Seismic retrofitting, including foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, and shear wall installation, is crucial for protecting these homes from potential earthquake damage.
Drainage issues in Piedmont are common due to the hilly terrain, which can lead to water runoff and soil erosion during heavy rains. Poor drainage not only affects landscaping but can also undermine foundations and cause water intrusion into basements or crawl spaces. Installing effective drainage systems, like retaining walls and French drains, can help divert water away from homes and safeguard against long-term foundation damage.
