The setting of the foundation of San Ramon is an amalgamation of valley neighborhoods, hillside property and more recent developments constructed on engineered fill. Houses around the Crow Canyon, Alcosta Boulevard, and the rolling communities around Dougherty Valley are on soils that are mainly made up of clay which swell and contract with moisture level depending on the seasons. Oppositely, the land along the Old Ranch Road, the Bollinger Canyon, and the neighborhoods adjoining San Ramon Creek in most cases settle as a result of long-term compaction of the soil of soil or relocation of groundwater.
Such conditions of the soil normally give early alerts within the home like skinny cracks along the flooring, slight slopes developed in certain rooms, or doors that start to stick randomly. Those houses constructed on stiffer land along the eastern foothills can also undergo the effect of gravity induced soil movement affecting slab positions. We inspect every dwelling according to its level, exposure to moisture, and soil composition to create foundation repairs that would be appropriate to the terrain of San Ramon.

The issue is amplified rapidly when a slab starts to move. Soil movements under the house- due to imbalance in moisture, erosion or compaction- cause uneven pressure which deteriorates with every season. The cracks can become wider in the early stages, floors can become steeper, and walls can become dislocated.
Early correction of the foundation movement will avoid extreme structural stress and will save a lot of money spent on the repair. Our crew determines the course and extent of movement and stabilizes the affected areas before the issue escalates.
One of the first indications of a slab foundation that is evolving is the cracked interior walls. This part justifies why interior surfaces move as a result of foundation settlement or heaving, and how we tell whether the cracks are structural or cosmetic. When we are aware of the underlying soil behavior, we take specific reinforcement to halt the movement and ensure that we do not have a repetition of a damaged wall.
Our assessment is based on slab under the broken place and strengthening those areas of soil that became weak.
With stabilization of the slab, interior surfaces will eventually be in the correct alignment.
Long-term solutions will guarantee that the seasonal soil movement does not affect the walls anymore.

We start with a comprehensive inspection that determines the behavior of soil, slab condition and stress points of structures. This would guarantee that we do not treat the symptoms, but the cause of the issue.
The common indicators that a slab foundation requires include:
We know the direction in which the soil under the slab is moving, which is why we provide solutions that provide long term stability.
We can now precisely know which areas of the slabs are weak and reinforce them without creating unnecessary disturbances thanks to modern technology of repairing slabs. The clay and fill soils in San Ramon are very sensitive and require precision since any minor mistakes can increase settlement or form new stress points.
We apply high quality diagnostic equipment, specific techniques of lifting and soil cementing to give support and avoid further movement. Our practices guarantee durability of the repair since it is tailored to the landscape and the structure of the homes hence providing peace to the owners.
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.
