Under careful inspection and specific repair measures and plans, we assist our homeowners avoid the damage of their trespasses and beam foundations over time and make their houses safe, stable, and structurally intact.

The Relationship Between Problems of Foundations and Roofs

Prior to discussing major connections, one should realize that a home moves as one unit. The side effects can be transmitted vertically when the foundation is changed.

Roof framing may be caused to be distorted by foundation settlement.
Walls can lean or bow, impacting roof-alignment.
Sagging floors may lead to imbalance of weight.
Load distribution may vary in cracked beams.
Roof leakage will be aggravated with the rise in structural pressure.
Misalignment may cause the separation or warping of roofing materials.

Problems with foundations and the roof go hand in hand- although the symptoms are distant in the house. Repairing the foundation before it causes a continuous strain on the roof.

Our Commitment to Quality Sets Us Apart

Three specially designed subheadings are listed below to describe how we undertake repair of pier and beam foundations in the entire of Contra Costa County.

Thorough Inspections Which expose the True issue

Every home is unique. We check the piers, beams, joists, soil moisture, ventilation and drainage paths to identify the exact cause of your foundation shifting. Our articulate nature will see to it that we prescribe repairs to address root causes rather than to address symptoms.

Repairs Made to Soil and Weather of Contra Costa

The fact that the soil of Contra Costa County differs radically between Delta flats and the Diablo foothills is the reason as to why we customize each repair strategy to the environment of your home. We strengthen beams, support piers and enhance moisture management through techniques which are tested to meet the local circumstances.

Prevention and Surveillance as a Long-term Intervention

Upon repair, we recommend homeowners moisture barriers, drainage improvements, ventilation improvements, and periodical inspections which will ensure that the foundation remains strong and minimizes chances of future settlement.

Our team can create crawl spaces that are both structurally reinforced and well-dried to enable the restoration of integrity even to the most deteriorated crawl spaces.

What Homeowners Should Know About Crawl Space Access

The crawl space access is significant to diagnosing as well as repairing the pier and beam foundations. Accessibility can conceal the presence of moisture, timber decay, pests, or piers moving, all of which increase with time. The homes across Contra Costa County are usually restricted or worn-out crawl-space openings which makes it inaccessible to inspect them.

Our team checks access on the need of upgrading and makes sure that the space is safe to enter. This means that by enhancing access not only do we make the right repairs but also provide the home owners with the facility to check the foundation without any difficulties later in life.

Why Some Homes Settle Unevenly

Uneven settlement is also a common factor in Contra Costa County as the soil structure of the area varied in terms of soil moisture exposure and the mode of construction used. Houses constructed on hilly slopes, close to creek or those located on clay grounds are particularly susceptible to asymmetrical movements.

Our group determines the cause of the non-even settlement of your house, which may be soil shrinkage, improper drainage, improperly spaced piers, wood decay, or previous repairs that were not done to fix root causes. The pattern and cause of settlement will enable us to stabilize the home safely and avoid further damages.
