Push Pier Foundation Repair Systems Service in Oakland, CA
The neighborhoods of Oakland, starting with the Craftsman structures in Rockridge and the contemporary constructions in the hills, are located on some of the most diverse landscapes in the Bay Area. The presence of slopes on the hills, fill soil and heavy soil of clay nature causes movement of the foundation to be a frequent problem. Long dry summers with rainy winters make the soil to stretch and shrink resulting in cracks, sloping floors or window and door gaps.
Our Push Pier Foundation Repair Systems services will be applicable to the complicated soil conditions of Oakland. We are able to restore balance, lift settled areas and block future movement using the help of precision-engineered push pier systems. No matter what is the location of your property it can be Lake Merritt, Montclair or Temescal, we offer long-term stability and tranquility – guarding your home foundations to the roof.
Real Homeowner Stories: Foundations Saved by Push Piers
Beyond every successful repair there is a homeowner who eventually discovered his or her way to peace after years of stress and uncertainty.
The Home on the Hillside Close to the Montclair
A family realized that their back deck was inclining and floors were sinking. Our crew used 10 steel push piers to fix the base in the solid ground. The house was hoisted up to the point of rest, since then not a single movement.
The Craftsman in Temescal
This is a home that was built in the 1920s, the cracks could be seen and the corner was sinking. We have installed push piers in strategic positions below the points of concern to ensure that the structural balance was restored and so no further cracking would occur without the need to change the historic appearance of the home.
The Contemporary Construction by the Lake Merritt.
There was a more recent property which underwent addition and restructuring between the property and the old house. Both parts of the building were brought together by push piers to form a smooth and flat base that enhanced stability and resale value.
How to Monitor Your Foundation After Push Pier Repairs
The Hidden Costs of Ignoring Foundation Movement
When foundation problems are overlooked, cosmetic harm is not the only thing that will arise. There is expansion of cracks, misaligned doors and windows and eventually intrusion of water or separation of framing may take place. A little repair may develop into a significant structural maintenance.
The early identification of foundation issues will save money and prevent the secondary damage to the homeowner. The push pier stops the settlement in the spot therefore not only protecting the structure of your home but its future value and safety.
The Performance of Push Piers in Expansive Clay Soils
One of the largest contributors of foundation settlement in Oakland is expansive clay soils. The soils swell in presence of moisture and contract in absence causing unequal pressure to the construction overhead. It is addressed by the use of push pier systems which anchor deep below the active layer of soil.
The piers are operated hydraulically into dense load-bearing strata which does not move with changes in moisture. The weight of the house once installed is transferred to this stable layer, thus avoiding the problem soil. The outcome is a foundation that remains flat, even with the extreme weather cycles – a very important feature to homes constructed on the fluctuating terrain in Oakland.
Verified Client Reviews
We were very happy with the results of our inspection with Ryan! He explained the settling in homes and what things we should look for, and was very professional, friendly, and efficient. Thanks!
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.
