The tree-lined ridges, serpentine streets, and traditional houses of Orinda make the neighborhoods, which many citizens are very fond of. Since the darkened areas of Sleepy Hollow are shaded, homes found here are on different slopes and soils and different community spaces at Theatre Square. The close geographical features such as Orinda Country Club and Wilder trail network affect the local drainage and root structure and the same geographical formations can be a factor in the progressive movement of the foundation through time. Our team uses local expertise and practical skills to conserve homes but not to ruin the landscape.
Houses built above Moraga Way or even just nestled away in a valley along Ivy Drive can bear some faint initial indications, such as a crack in the plaster of the hair line, a sticking door after a change of season, or an inclination to the floor. Since the terrain of Orinda tends to promote changes in moisture and a large root structure due to mature oaks, a small scale change can expand to a bigger structural issue when unattended. We operate in the neighborhoods of Orinda and suggest foundation underpinning which stabilizes the foundations and causes minimum inconvenience to everyday life and gardens.
Sloping floors or subsiding floors are often indications of movement on the foundation, particularly on hilly lots or where expansive clay is found. Our diagnosis starts with a keen diagnosis to find out as to whether the reason would be soil compression, failing footing or bad drainage.
After identification, we stiffen the identified parts of the foundation and, where necessary, jack up, in order to restore a level foundation. Such work makes joists and sub floor framing stable, minimizes movement and restores interior functionality. When necessary we also incorporate drainage additions or soil conditioning in that the underpinning covers both the symptoms and the cause.
Building a strong base does not necessarily involve an expensive and intrusive construction. We specialize in the solutions that are both economical and durable, select strategies that address areas of problems and minimize the needless excavation.
Where practicable, we employ methods that restrict excavation and reinforcement is directed to those areas only where necessary to save time and restoration expenses.
In case the work is larger or more intricate we can phase underpinning so that the homeowners can control expenses and not compromise on safety.
We attribute materials and strategies that limit repetitive repair and provide the enduring benefits on the original capital outlay.
The postponement of required foundation work adds to the likelihood of its continual growth in damage and high cost of repairs. The usual effects of waiting are:
Timely evaluation and treatment usually restrict the harm and minimize the general extent of work necessary.
We blend local knowledge and attention to detail project management and quality materials. Our group focuses on precise schedules, in-depth inspection and cautious work that does not harm the aesthetic and landscape characteristics of the Orinda homes.
We also report progress, check performance post completion and we also make ourselves available to post checks. The homeowners expect us to provide reliable outcomes, considerate communication, and long-term solutions.
