The County of Contra Costa, CA that boasts of the rolling hills, quaint suburban communities, and is close enough to the San Francisco Bay, has its own challenges as far as ensuring the consistency of the base of your home is concerned. Newer development or an old house may have issues with the foundation due to the movement of the soil, the amount of liquid that is present, and in some cases, sometimes seismic activity of the area.

The service of foundation inspection in Contra Costa County is aimed to assist homeowners and businesses to identify foundations problems in time. By our careful evaluations, we make sure that your foundation is firm and upholds the structure of your home and saves you the costs of damage that would be incurred in future.

High-tech Inspection Tools and Techniques

We use superior tools and techniques that transcend the conventional ones in an effort to have a comprehensive foundation inspection. With the help of such specific tools, we can observe possible problems with the foundation that can not be seen right away and find out the problems in time before they become more serious. As an example, the changes or settlement of the foundation are detected using laser leveling and measuring equipment.

Moisture meters can be used to identify any sign of water damage and thermal imaging can be used to locate water behind walls or floors. Moreover, crack monitoring machines are used to determine the width and the progression of the cracks in the foundation, which provides a clear picture of the severity and possible effects.

Structural Evaluation Process in Contra Costa County

Any foundation inspection involves the structural assessment process. The way our assessment process is carried is as follows:

First Consultation and Property Inspection

These consultations are an inquiry about your perceived foundation problems or other visible signs of concerns that you have noticed (cracks, sunken floors, doors that do not shut etc.). This assists in the direction of the inspection and aids in the focus on possible problem areas.

Detailed Structural Inspection

Our crew conducts an in-depth inspection of the interior and exterior of the foundation checking it thoroughly to identify cracks, shifting, settling, or evidence of water intrusion. This is aimed at detecting any structural destruction and determining its extent.

Water Damage

We will also give a detailed report after the inspection, including our findings, and any immediate worries and long-term maintenance suggestions.

Drainage and Soil Assessment of Contra Costa County

The conditions of the soil and drainage play pathological roles in ensuring good foundation. The assessment of soil stability and drainage in the area surrounding the foundation is one of the most important elements in the inspection process in the Contra Costa County where the soil types may vary and rain tendencies may vary.

Soil Composition and Stability

We check on the soil around your property, the type of soil being expansive soils that expand or shrink as the moisture content alters. Your foundation may experience pressure due to this movement and crack or move over time. We look after the indications of soil instability which could influence the strength of the foundation.

Water Drainage Problems

Adequate drainage in the area surrounding the foundation is important in ensuring that the structure is not weakened by water. We check the grading in the area of your house to see that water does not stagnate on the side of the home. We also examine whether there is any poor drainage which may cause intrusion of moisture or erosion.

Drainage Solutions

In the case of failed to find drainage, then we suggest a solution to guide the water in the foundation area and prevent damage later. This can be installation of appropriate drainage system, re-grading of the yard or re- fixation of any drainage problems that may be there.
