Berkeley, CA, is characterized by historic houses, a variety of architectures, and the problem of the ground conditions and earthquakes in the area. In the long run, the soil movement, moisture, and natural settling may undermine the foundation of residential houses and business premises. The foundation problems can cause cracks, uneven floors, and misaligned doors and windows that in case of non-address may result in more severe construction issues.
Our aim towards any project is long-term protection. The foundation material can be concrete slab or pier and beam or any other material, but we make sure that what we provide is a solution to the problem and not to the symptoms. This does not only nourish the stability of your home, but also secures your investment and the state of peace.

Conducting frequent foundation inspections are important in ensuring the safety and value of your property is maintained. In Berkeley, where the ground may range in consistency between the soft clay close to the waterfront and harder soil in the hills, early discovery will be all. Our team performs thorough inspection of detecting shifts, cracks, drainage, or moisture build-up before they turn out to be significant problems.
We also apply the modern diagnostic equipment to measure the internal foundation strength and the soil movement. This will enable us to make straightforward, sincere reports and viable solutions specific to each house. Inspections also assist the homeowner in making plans to maintain the house frequently in order to prevent cases where the homeowner encounters costs that were not anticipated.
In the event that the foundation damage is left untamed, it may soon extend to other sections of your house. The result can be bumpy floors, doors which stick and even collapsing of structures starting with a small crack. Our team has stressed the need to take action fast to avoid such complications.
Early repair of foundation ensures integrity of your whole structure including walls and roof. It also saves on disruption and incurred costs in the long-term. Early mitigation of the issues makes sure that your house is safe, stable and strong, particularly in a region such as Berkeley where the seasonal rainfall and earthquakes may speed up the deterioration of the foundation.

These are some of the warning signs that can be noticed when the foundation needs to be inspected and/or repaired.
Early detection of these issues and reporting to our team would help you to prevent future structural issues at a larger scale.

Had a great experience working with Kyndell from Golden Bay Foundation Builders. I recently purchased the home and was looking for help with earthquake retrofitting options. He inspected my foundation carefully and determined that past bolting was likely adequate. He had suggestions about monitoring the foundation. He was very thoughtful and detailed in his approach, and worked to determine what was best for the home. In this case, that meant no need for additional work now. But if I need any additional assistance in the future, will be calling him again.
