The diverse terrain of the East Bay, due to the steep hill side neighborhoods in Berkeley and Oakland or the thick soils of Walnut Creek, Orinda, San Leandro, and Castro Valley, offers foundational issues as different a street to street. Houses on hilly slopes are always subject to the force of the ground and the soil, and older houses on flat terrain are usually on huge clay that expands during winter and contracts in the summer heat. In the long run, these natural processes may result in sinking of the floors, fracturing of the walls, and instability of the structures of most communities in East Bay.
The helical piers and push piers can support the house at a depth of deep and sure foundation beneath the layers of soil whether you are at a hillside with a view of the Bay or you are at a house close to the more concentrated urban centres. These systems embed the foundation on ground of heavy load bearing material that is much more stable than the ground under the unstable surface, reinforcing and stopping further movement. The solutions we offer are tailored to fit the soil conditions of the East Bay, and include long-term protection of both large and small homes as well as old ones.
Underlying problems do not remain small any longer. This is why the cost of installing the piers later becomes costly and destructive in the long run:
Other changes can be in the landscaping, driveways, and walkways.
Early problem solving will eliminate unnecessary damage and allow repair expenses to be covered.
It takes training, knowledge of soils and experience to have the right pier installed. A powerful stabilization program starts with the prevention of the following pitfalls:
Premature termination of installation deposits the pier at a site that has loose soil that is not capable of bearing the permanent structure weight.
The number of piers required may be underestimated such that further settlement may occur on installation.
The inability to manage water circulation around the house may compromise even the well- done piers by compromising the soil around it.
With an upright installing of the piers, your house is granted with engineered support that is reliable and holds decades.
The foundation stabilization is realized with the help of the intensive evaluation and accurate engineering. The piers of helical and push are not equal in terms of their strengths, and a choice of the suitable system guarantees the long-term performance. Helical piers are pushed into the soil with torque that is why they are perfect in light structures or on softer grounds. They give the accurate load capacity check during the process of installations and your house is stable supported by the stable layers of soil.
Push piers are pressed into the ground with the help of the weight of the building itself, hence suitably applicable to heavier houses where considerable settlement occurs due to soil related reasons. The two types of piers will both bypass the collapsed surface soils and distribute the weight of your home to more uniform and deeper layers. This forms a strong foundation system that can manage continuous movement of soil in the entire East Bay.
Piers are more reliable than the home, however, keeping the property gives the property long-term performance, and does not allow any new problems to arise. Homeowners should observe drainage systems after they are installed and gutters, downspouts, and grading should be directed to cause water to move away the foundation. This eliminates the possibility of excessive moisture saturation of soil and new settlement risks.
Monitoring the interior clues such as cracks or sticking doors can also be used to detect a new change in the soil. Even though the piers do not allow the further sinking in the areas supported, other sections of the home can still move with time should there be a dramatic change in the soil conditions. Regular inspection is achieved to maintain the integrity of the whole structure and make it even and steady.
Your base is too substantial to gamble with. It might be the beginning of settlement or the structural movement of long duration; regardless of the situation, our solutions of piers are aimed at providing the strength, stability and peace of mind.
