Crawl Space Foundation Repair
The crawl space of your Fairfield, CA home is responsible for keeping the building raised above the ground. In addition to housing your central air conditioning system and other units, you can also use it for extra storage space if it’s encapsulated. However, like other areas in your home, your crawl space is prone to damage.
One of the most common problems occurring in crawl spaces is deterioration of the support posts. The main reason behind this is the inability of the soil to support the posts. The solution is to remove and replace all the affected screw jacks. This helps lift and relevel the floor.

Foundation Movement Repair
Foundation movement is a common problem faced by people living in hillside houses. If you face problems opening your doors and windows, notice cracks in your drywall, or sloping floors, it could be due to foundation movement. In such instances, you need foundation movement repair in Fairfield, CA.
For foundation movements on slopes, our foundation repair experts in Fairfield, CA, stabilize the foundation using drilled, cast-in-place concrete foundation piers. The process involves three steps:
- drilling holes into the bedrock
- placing steel reinforcement cages into the holes
- completing the piers by pouring concrete into the holes
Settling Concrete Repair
Poor compaction, poor drainage, invasive tree roots, and poor site conditions are some reasons behind the settling of your concrete surfaces. Whether it is your walkway, sidewalk, patio, pool deck, or any other surface, uneven concrete can be a trip hazard and cause serious injuries to anyone visiting your home.
To relevel settling or sinking concrete floors, we at Bay Area Underpinning use polyurethane foam injection. This is a minimally invasive process that involves the following steps:
- small holes are drilled in the concrete slab
- polyurethane foam is then injected through ports that are placed in the drilled holed
- the foam gets underneath the affected slab and starts to react
- the foam slowly expands and fills the voids beneath the sunken concrete releveling it back to its original position
