Berkeley, CA which is a city of old houses, rich cultural heritage, and picturesque Bay area landscape, has its own set of challenges as far as structural integrity of its buildings is concerned. The old masonry houses, as well as new ones, in Berkeley can succumb to the problems of settling foundations and moisture, and even seismic activity that may occur here.
Our company focuses on delivering professional structural replacement galleries in the whole of Berkeley, whether it comes to the wrangles of masonry houses, a sloping floor, or storm damages. We provide a complete solution to such problems and we will apply the latest methods and high-quality material which will guarantee your home is secure, stable and safe long before you are gone.
Masonry Home Structural Replacement
The use of sturdier materials such as stone, concrete or brick has resulted in the construction of masonry homes, which are characterized by their durability and perennial value. These houses however, in the long run may experience structural demands like settling of the foundation, moisture intrusion, and aging of the structure also with environmental forces. Soil conditions may also change in Berkeley where seismic activity is also a factor of concern whereby soils may begin to shift resulting in deterioration of masonry homes.
Other major problems that might necessitate replacement of the structural area are broken foundations, which are as a result of the settling or moving soil and this may jeopardize the stability of the entire house. Another issue is water damage where moisture may trickle down the masonry which dilutes the walls and foundations. Making a replacement of damaged parts and strengthening the foundation is essential to the safety and lifespan of the masonry homes such that they can be stable and sound in many years to come.
The Reinforcement of a Sagging Floor
Sagging floor is a typical problem in an old house especially those that are using wood as a framing and they may weaken either through moisture, foundations, or just through aging. Berkeley is in a neighborhood where older houses are common, it is therefore important to stabilize a collapsing floor to regain stability and avoid future deterioration.
Our group has been known to use:
Adding new beams or joists to the bottom of the floor is a way to redistribute the weight evenly and resume its structural support.
This method includes putting the fallen floor back to position and providing more supports.
Sometimes, the beams of the foundation should be reinforced or replaced so that the floor would be stable and level.
Beams play a big role in the construction of your home. Beams may go bad with time either through settling or because of moisture or soil soil movement. To know whether a beam should be replaced or not, follow the following:
- Beam Cracks or Splits: Beams which contain big cracks or splits are a clear evidence of structural damages. These may be caused by pressure because of the changing soil or the problems of moisture.
- Sagging or Warping: As the structure of the beams cannot sustain the building any longer, sagging or warping occurs. This may give rise to uneven floors or walls and may need instant replacement.
- Rot or Pest Damage: Wooden beam is especially susceptible to rot and pest attack. When you spot soft spots, holes, and other decay signs, it is important to replace the damaged beams to obtain the stability.
The initial problem with beams is imperative when it comes to preserving the overall structural integrity of your home and avoiding further damage
Replacement of Structures following Damages by storms.
Storms may have serious consequences on the structure of your home particularly when such flooding and heavy rains are commonplace as is the case with Berkeley. These factors will cause foundation problems, roof failures, and water intrusion all of which jeopardize the integrity of your home. Once a storm has taken place, it is imperative to investigate the level of the damage and perform as soon as possible to avoid escalating the problem.
Leaks or sagging can be caused by the damage of the roof like weak trusses or beams because of high winds or rain. Water infiltration, in the form of walls, floors, and the foundation must be replaced immediately to avoid the development of moulds and worsen the situation. We have experience in evaluating the damage caused by storms in the shortest period possible and offer the necessary services to restore your house to a stable condition.
Here are the ways in which we build foundations when we replace:
- Foundation Reinforcement: To support the new foundation, we tend to employ such practices as rebarring with steel or concrete pillars to have a long-term effect.
- Soil Stabilization: In soil that is loose, we offer soil stabilization methods that avoid any future movement and settlement.
- Seismic Retrofitting: Since San Leandro is adjacent to the seismic fault lines we suggest retrofitting the foundation to prevent the occurrence of earthquakes hence providing additional protection to the house.

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.
