The calm residential enclaves of Moraga lies amidst rolling hills, tree-lined ridges and tranquil cul-de-sacs, and has soil that responds severely to the seasonal nature of the moisture in the area. The houses of the areas around Campolindo, Rheem, Donald drive and scenic areas along the boundaries of St. Marys College are frequently built on heavy clay soils that are expanded violently during winter rainfall and contracted during the dry summer sunshine. Slab foundations are sensitive to the effects of ground movement, both directly and indirectly: in some cases indirectly, in others directly.
Lengthening movements of the soil over time in older sections of Moraga or houses built on gentle slopes close to Canyon Road and Sanders Ranch may result in minor interior cracks, lumpy floors or walls that slowly shift off course. These warning signs can be the message that the slab foundation is in need of fixes before it subsides. Our team is aware of the soil conditions in Moraga and offers the solution of repair, depending on the terrain, moisture patterns, and architectural styles in this area.
Our team has been actively involved within the areas of Moraga and the surrounding area; therefore, we have a profound knowledge of the behavior of soils that help in slab damage. Several Moraga houses undergo repetitive seasonal mobility and our maintenance plans are tailored to meet such changeover every year.
The assessment begins with the analysis of soil conditions, exposure to moisture conditions, and patterns of structural loads. Through the process of diagnosing the cause of the slab movement, be it the expansion of the soil, intrusion of water or long term compaction, we devise the repair strategies to ensure that stability is restored and that your home is structurally stable.
A slab foundation also needs the correct method and the correct method to be successful in repairing it. Our solutions are based on the balance between performance, cost-effectiveness, and long-lasting performance.
In houses whose movement is in a single segment, we reinforce the involved parts in order to rectify sinking avoiding unwarranted labor.
When a repetition of the slab movement occurs as a result of seasonal moisture patterns, then we increase the strength of deeper soil layers and the support becomes stable.
The structures erected on hilly slopes need reinforcement which takes into consideration the downward soil movement and imbalance pressure.
Moraga houses used to be old and it was decades when soil preparation techniques were less accurate, drainage systems were less complicated and the thickness of slabs was not regular. With the ground under these houses moving the foundation may start to settle lopsidedly.
The main indicators that your older home can need slab repair are:
Early solutions to these problems will make your slab stronger and issues that are complex in the future will be avoided.
The cracks on the foundation might seem harmless initially but in the Moraga climate, it is a good indicator of more serious structural problems. Whenever the rainy season comes, the clay soil swells straining the slab upwards and when it rains the soil tends to shrink bringing back the support back. This continuous cycle increases cracks and even sinking to form.
These are initial signs that should not be ignored which may result in interior damage, floor separations or walls distorting out of place. In the long run, repairs become very expensive and complicated. We examine every crack thoroughly to identify whether it is cosmetic or structural and give remedies that avoid the further movements and ensure the long term security of the home.
