We Service Pittsburg!
Pittsburg’s location near the Delta and its soft, moisture-sensitive soils contribute to frequent foundation concerns. Homes built on bay mud or clay soils often experience settling as the ground expands and contracts with seasonal moisture changes. Over time, this movement can result in foundation cracks, sloping floors, and structural instability that require expert repair.
Seismic risk is also a factor in Pittsburg, which is within reach of both the Concord and Hayward Fault zones. Homes that haven’t been retrofitted may be at significant risk in the event of a major earthquake. Seismic retrofitting—such as bolting, bracing, and installing shear panels—is key to strengthening older structures and reducing the likelihood of serious damage.
Inadequate drainage systems in Pittsburg can exacerbate foundation issues, especially during heavy rains. Water pooling near the foundation can lead to erosion or hydrostatic pressure that causes cracks and leaks. Installing drainage solutions like French drains, sump pumps, and gutter extensions helps manage stormwater and protect against foundation deterioration.
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.
