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.
