The neighborhoods in San Ramon vary between the hilly topography of Norris Canyon to the planned neighborhoods of Windemere and Dougherty Valley, which form the base environment that gets formed based on the variations in elevation and the diverse soil formations. Houses along Old Ranch Road or Bishop Ranch corridor or the picturesque ridges overlooking Las Trampas Regional Wilderness tend to be located on soil that swollen in the winter rains, and narrow in summer heat.
Homes around the Crow Canyon Road, Twin Creeks or along the Bollinger Canyon may be subjected to slight movement that is intensified with change of the season. Floors could become slightly sunken, drywall could develop fine cracking or the door could start to stick all indications that the foundation was settling in a lopsided manner. With close inspection and specific strengthening, we assist homeowners to reestablish the stability and keep their investment safe against the long-term structural stress.
Individualized Underpinning Strategies to Every Soil Type
The topography of San Ramon has hillside clay, compacted fill, and mixed valley soil- all of which demand different treatment. Our group analyses the depth of soil, moisture, and structural structure to use the appropriate reinforcement approach to your estate. Houses in the foothill sides of Bollinger Canyon can experience soil movements related to moisture, whereas those in Dougherty Valley can be on a type of fill that is compacted and then sinks as time progresses.
Our approach to a specific property is customized to suit the environment so that we have lasting outcomes. Since it is our goal to provide reliable site specific solutions, we focus on the stabilization of deep clay layers, on the reinforcement of places where there are changes in groundwater. There is constant open communication in the process as we let you know how each step leads towards the long term performance of your home.
Creative Ways of Repairing the Weak Foundations
It occurs due to the existence of weak foundations which come about due to imbalance of moisture, inadequate initial compaction, soil erosion, or repetitive movement of soil. To reinforce every home, our team relies on the combination of evaluation tools and innovative methods that are aimed at addressing the particular challenges of the home.
Where other parts are carrying the weight, we strengthen those parts so that they do not sink or incline further.
The soils in San Ramon are clay soils and they can swell a lot; we cement the deeper soils to minimize shifting in the seasons.
Our techniques are stable regardless of the persistent fluctuation in soil density and the amount of moisture.
Why Underpinning Is the Best Fix for Severe Settlement
Extreme settlement cannot be fixed by superficial works- it needs to be reinforced with the soil support under the house. Underpinning is a long-term remedy in that it stabilizes the base where the original soil has been weakened or displaced.
The frequent symptoms that extreme settlement is taking place include:
- Corner cracks which run out of windows or doors.
- Observable floor sinking in certain rooms or corridors.
- Crevices emerging between walls and ceilings.
- Outward-tilting or drawing exterior walls.
- Constant subsidence of the soil at the feet of the building.
It is by reinforcing the weaker areas that we are able to prevent further movement and we are able to build up the foundation to be able to contain the home safely and evenly.
