Pier and Beam Foundation Repair Services in San Ramon, CA

The neighborhoods of San Ramon, such as the Windemere, Gale ranch, Twin Creeks and the picturesque homes bordering the Old Ranch road and the country club of Crow Canyon are characterized by the hilly formation and mixed soil compositions. It may be your house on the borders of Central Park, on Bollinger Canyon Road, or on the hilly side of the Diablo foothills, but, at any rate, the pier and beam foundations in your footprint are constantly at odds with the soil swelling and shrinking, along with the seasonal change in moisture levels.

Beams become weak, piers may shift because of a crawl space ground shift, or accumulated moisture, and interior structures begin to move. Our staff has the experience of the soils, climate, and house structures of San Ramon, and this experience will afford them the ability to offer the solutions of the foundation repairs which will ensure stability, future motion, and give you back the faith in the building under your home.

Post Repair Crawl Space Maintenance

Before discussing the most important steps to take, it is important to note that, with proper maintenance of your crawl-space, you are certain that your foundation is safe and the repair that you have made will last long.

Keep the ground dry or dry.
Make sure that the downspouts are moved away.
Rip/moisture intrusion check vapor barriers.
Keep the air moving in the crawl-space with vents.
Monitor pest activity or wood deterioration tendencies.
Arrange regular professional inspection.

Any maintenance will allow homeowners to avoid the same problems and ensure that the fixed foundation is strong and stable. Properly taking care of your crawl space once the repairs are done means that your house will be safe and it is less likely that your house will move in the future.

We Repair, Reinforce, and Rebuild with Precision

Three of the custom subheadings we have developed (we were not on your list), explaining our approach to pier and beam foundation work in San Ramon are listed below.

In-depth Structural Assessment

Every project starts with a thorough crawl-space inspection, analyzing beam orientation, pier location, ground behavior, water courses and load movements in the structure. This will assist us in determining the precise cause of movement prior to the commencement of repairs.

Specific Repair and Reinforcement

We can add more piers, strengthen deteriorating beams, fix moisture problems, or bring certain parts of the house level depending on the type of things we are finding. All repair plans are tailored to meet the specific circumstances of the house and the seasonal soil characteristics of San Ramon.

Prolonged Protection and Surveillance

When the repairs are done we suggest moisture solutions, periodic assessment and maintenance plans that are friendly to soil to avoid any future shifting. Making sure that your foundation is safeguarded is a continuous process, and we help homeowners to realize how to make sure that their foundation will be maintained over the years.

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.

The Influence of Season on Foundation Movement

San Ramon is dry and warm in the summer and cooler and wet in winter- weather conditions that result in a high degree of soil movement under pier and beam houses. When the weather is wet, the clay soils swell and push piers up or change points of loads. When this happens, these soils shrink and contract in the summer leading to unequal settlement of piers.

The result of this continuous cycle may be sloping floors, clearances about trim and non-alignment of doors. Our group assesses the effect of these seasonal patterns on your house and offers customized measures that will stabilize the foundation with each season of the year.

What Are the Reasons of Gaps between Walls and Floors

The appearance of gaps between the walls and through floors is an indicator that there is movement beneath your house in the foundation. Due to gravity forces which cause the soil to move (particularly in the clay rich regions of San Ramon), the piers can be sunk or the beams misaligned to allow the structures within the interior to part ways. In other instances, wood can even be made soft due to moisture in the crawl space or beams will be allowed to sag, making these gaps even larger.

Our crew also examines the root of the problem through checking the stability of the piers and the state of the beam, the amount of moisture and the behavior of the soil. When we detect the source, we either fix it through reinforcement, moisture control or leveling techniques that get the interior back on track and do not allow the separation to worsen.
