We’ll educate you about exactly what we’re doing and keep you updated while we’re doing it.
Signs of a sinking foundation include floors that slope, and doors and windows that stick. The most common cause of a sinking foundation is settlement. This might be something that happened slowly over time, or it might be due to a catastrophic event. Whatever the cause, we can use heavy-duty steel push piers to lift the building back up again.
Helical piers get their name because they’re shaped like a helices. They’re giant screws, in other words. They’re less expensive that concrete piers, easily install in no time, and are great for construction projects requiring a deep foundation system.
If your home is situated on the side of a hill, you may eventually notice foundation settlement caused by soil movement. This happens because the soil that was once under your foundation at the top of the hill, eventually makes its way down the hill. Signs include windows and doors that are no longer aligned, sloped floors, and cracks in drywall. We can install concrete piers deep into the bedrock in order to stabilize the structure.
Settling in concrete sidewalks and other types of walkways is caused by a number of things, including expansive soils, tree roots, and problems with drainage. All these cause soil movement under the slab which then causes it to sink. Uneven concrete is both a safety and a liability issue, and should be repaired immediately.
Lifting settled concrete is a minimally-invasive process that involves injecting polyurethane foam under the slab in order to lift it up. It’s less expensive than replacing the concrete and when the procedure is complete, you can use the sidewalk or walkway immediately.
Crawl Space Screw Jack Replacement
There are times when homeowners notice signs of settlement even though their home’s foundation is perfectly sound. When this happens the problem is usually cased by deteriorated screw jacks or settled crawl space support posts. We can use the existing pier locks and just remove/replace the posts or screw jacks. The floor can then be lifted up again.

I had a great experience with Bay Area Underpinning. They fixed my foundation, which was a substantial job, in a matter days, and did all of the engineering and permitting at a very fair price. I cannot say enough good things about Tyler, Angelo, and Louise, who did all the hard work. They were on time each day, very diligent, and patiently answered all of my questions. Then, when the job was finished, they cleaned the work area and left it in a better condition than they found it. That was awesome, and tells you what you need to know about these guys and the company. I couldn't be happier.
