The neighborhoods of Pleasanton, extending through the Vintage Hills and Stoneridge to Kottinger Ranch, Del Prado and the quietness of the surroundings of Shadow Cliffs, are located on the soil that varies drastically according to the seasons. Most parts of the region are made up of large clay areas that swell during wet winters and shrink abruptly during dry summer seasons. The effect of this movement on slab foundations is that it results in non-uniformity of supports under houses of both old and new ages.
Homes in the area of Pleasanton Ridge, Arroyo del Valle and the Vineyard Avenue are generally located on a low land area where water patterns impact the way the soil reacts throughout the year. In lower level communities around Val Vista, Hacienda and downtown corridor, settlement can be low with the older soil layers settling to compose a decade. Cracking surfaces, interiors in misalignment, small dips in the floor are all the early signs that the slab is reacting to these changing soil conditions.

The diverse terrain of Pleasanton needs the use of specific slab repair technique depending on the setting surrounding the house. The slab settlement is affected by soil conditions, drainage patterns and structural load, among others. These are some of the things that are considered by our team and they help us come up with repair plans that not only take care of the apparent damage but also the root cause.
Using sophisticated diagnostics and reinforcement methods designed to work on the expansive soil, we rectify the displaced areas of the slab, re-establish the structural level, and protection on the long-term basis. No matter whether your house is located on Pleasanton Ridge or the flatlands closer to the Santa Rita Road, we bring down repairs that are in line with the behavior of the soil and which are stable.
The soil under your house can swell very quickly in the presence of wet season and exert pressure on the slab areas which are not fastened. When there is dry season it shrinks and leaves openings that create a sinking or separation of the slab sections. This is a behavior that should be understood in order to select an appropriate repair strategy. Our crew level the ground, reinforce the areas that are weak and re-establishes the support to make your foundation flat throughout the year.
We dwell on areas that experience the expansion of clay that causes a portion of the slab to be raised constantly.
Dry soil shrats, and the support is taken away by the slab. We bring back sanity where sinking takes place.
Long-term reinforcement averts the repetitive structural misalignment.

The failure of the slab foundation is not easily noticeable initially and its early detection saves the development of structural issues that get bigger with time.
Common signs include:
Early detection of these conditions is a sure way of strengthening the foundation before the damage occurs.
Slab cracks in Pleasanton are a dominant result of water intrusion particularly in the neighborhoods with outdated drainage systems or properties that are located along natural runoff courses. Seepage of moisture under the slab causes the soil to be soft, and weak. This provides a disproportional support, and the cracks enlarge with time.
Our crew can determine the cause of moisture like grading, irrigation, plumbing leaks, or hill slope drainage and come up with remedies that stabilize the foundation and prevent further movement with water in the foundation. Through the repairs and prevention of the damage, we assist Pleasanton homeowners in long-term structural stress prevention.
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.
