We Service Ross!
Ross’s picturesque hillside properties and luxury homes are built on terrain that presents real challenges for foundations. Many homes sit on steep slopes with expansive soils that move with changes in moisture content. This can result in foundation settling, cracks, and structural shifts that may go unnoticed until major repairs are needed. Proactive foundation inspections and leveling are crucial in Ross.
Though Ross is tucked away in Marin County, it’s still within range of seismic activity from the San Andreas Fault. Homes—especially those built before modern seismic standards—may be at risk during earthquakes. Seismic retrofitting, including bolting to the foundation and shear wall installation, is an important investment for homeowners looking to protect both property value and occupant safety.
In addition to seismic and soil challenges, Ross faces drainage issues from seasonal rains and hillside runoff. Improper drainage can lead to erosion around piers and retaining walls, undermining the foundation and increasing moisture damage risks. Installing French drains, proper downspout systems, and grading corrections can help safeguard foundations from long-term water damage.
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.
