We Service Vallejo!

Vallejo’s diverse topography, ranging from coastal flats to rolling hills, presents a range of foundation challenges for homeowners. In the flatlands, homes built on soft bay fill or expansive clay soils often experience settling and shifting, leading to foundation cracks and uneven floors. In hillside neighborhoods, soil erosion and movement can further compromise foundation stability, necessitating professional repair and leveling.

The city’s proximity to the Rodgers Creek and Hayward Faults increases the risk of seismic activity, making earthquake preparedness crucial for Vallejo homeowners. Many older homes lack the necessary seismic reinforcements to withstand a major earthquake. Seismic retrofitting, including foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, and shear wall installation, can help protect homes and reduce the risk of structural damage during seismic events.

Drainage issues in Vallejo are also common, particularly in low-lying areas where heavy rains can cause water to pool around foundations. Poor drainage can lead to hydrostatic pressure, foundation cracks, and water intrusion into basements or crawl spaces. Installing effective drainage solutions, such as French drains, sump pumps, and retaining walls, helps manage water flow and protect Vallejo homes from moisture-related foundation problems.
