The topography of the area and the combination of blended streets, waterfront districts and older districts precondition the foundation conditions of Martinez. The homes, which surround Alhambra Avenue, Pine Street, Castro Street and hills surrounding Franklin Canyon, are founded on soils that behave in different manners when affected by rain and height. The regions that are rich in clay receive a lot of water during the storms and the soils closer to the downtown are more compact hence settle slowly because of the construction that occurred decades ago.
Those properties located close to the Carquinez Strait, the Wharf of Granger and older areas of neighborhoods surrounding the historic area are challenged by other factors such as the variation in the moisture and soil erosion. The appearance of cracks in the floors, the wall separations or even the slight inclination within the house is usually an indication that the slab is adjusting to the fluctuating soils. These symptoms are considered by our team and a repair solution is developed to fit the diverse terrain of Martinez.
The slab should be structurally stable before it is added with rooms, interiors are renovated and new flooring installed. Most of the Martinez houses aged have their foundation that built slowly and therefore, the slab cannot take the extra weight without any reinforcement.
We assess the health of the foundation, fix the areas with uneven condition, and reinforce the weaker ones prior to the commencement of the remodeling. This makes sure that newly built constructions are based on concrete and even surface and prevent possible cracking or mobility.
Root of trees present a typical slab movement mechanism in the areas that have well-established landscaping. With diffusion of roots, they absorb soil moisture leading to localized shrinkage. In other instances, roots exert upward pressure on areas of the slab leading to cracks or misalignment inside the slab. In this section, we will talk about the process of detecting root changes to soil, preventing future root intrusion, and patching the slabs to provide the correct level of support, which will cause interior-surfaces to resume balance.
We strengthen the regions of soil which have been dried and compacted by the roots of trees online.
The slab can be pressed upwards by roots. We fill up these raised spots and inhibit further displacement.
We take precautions of preventing root intrusion in the future and ensuring firm foundation support.
Homeowners all over Martinez have gotten their faith in us due to the fact that we have been solving their slab foundation problems before they occur. We consider the behavior of soil, structural load, and moisture patterns to assess the rate at which settlement is influencing the slab.
Typical signs of slab problems are:
We develop specific solutions that will bring about a balanced foundation support by determining the direction the soil is moving under the home.
Martinez has a relative change in weather that creates seasonal variations with the growing and shrinking of soil under the foundation. Hot weather dries up clay soil making the soil shrink and winter storms flood the soil and produce a pushing effect. These cycles cause stress on foundations of the slabs, particularly the ones that are constructed in older or shallow soils.
We assess these temperature variations and reinforcement which makes the slab stable throughout the year. We can assist homeowners in avoiding the structural loss of the soils due to its movement by eliminating moisture imbalance and soil density.
