With this experience under our belt, you can rest assured we will help you with your foundation problem every step of the way. We understand how stressful this process can be for homeowners, so we are committed to making sure you fully understand your specific foundation problem, how we’re going to repair it, and why we’ve chosen a particular solution rather than something else.
Signs of an unlevel foundation include sloped floors and doors and windows that don’t open as easily as they once did. In this case we will use heavy duty steel push piers to repair your foundation.
Helical Piers are an excellent choice if your project needs a deep foundation. They are less expensive than traditional concrete piers and the installation is fast and easy.
If your home is built on a hillside, you are at risk of foundation destabilization caused by soil erosion. The soil under the foundation slowly makes it’s way down hill leading to problems such as sloped floors, doors and windows that stick, etc. We fix this by drilling concrete piers into the bedrock to re-stabilize your foundation.
Sunken concrete walkways, including sidewalks, pool decks, and driveways, are signs of an unlevel foundation. As you well know, it is important to fix these problems fast as they can quickly escalate into a safety and liability issue. In this case, re-leveling the concrete is done by “slabjacking”. This is when we inject a special polyurethane foam under the slab to lift it back up, which will quickly lift uneven concrete
Crawl Space Screw Jack Replacement
There are times when homeowners notice signs of settling even when their foundation is perfectly secure. If this is your case, this is usually caused by deteriorated screw jacks or the settling of support posts in the crawl space. Luckily, this is an easy fix. To lift the floor back up we will use the existing pier locks to remove / replace the posts or screw jacks.

This company gets a 10 out of 10 from me. From my initial consultation with Rick DeSoto to the work performed by foreman Raul, and his team Jonathan and Demareon, this was the best possible experience in working Bay Area Underpinning for the first time. The crew was professional and adjusted the leveling jacks (and even added a couple as was needed) with care and great attention. Pricing was very reasonable too. I'll never trust any other company to do this type of work at my home. 100% satisfied with the work and my interactions with the crew. A+ work performed = A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER!!!

I can’t praise Bay Area Underpinning enough! Everything from their support team, to their customer service, and the quality of their work has surpassed my expectations. I’ve used other foundations companies in the past and they weren’t great for many reasons – Bay Area Underpinning has none of the challenges I’ve experienced elsewhere, and massive positive upsides! Would highly recommend!

Had BAU take care of a chimney that was leaning away from my home, fix my front door which would jam at times of the year and relevel my floors. This was my second time working with BAU who installed screw jacks and leveled my floors several years ago. This time, Juan took a look at the problem areas, took measurements, made recommendations that fit my needs and budget and answered all my questions. Gonzalo and team came to work on my property. They worked quickly to install piers under the chimney and in the crawl space. They put tarp down to keep the house clean in the areas they needed access and cleaned up after themselves each day on the job. They answered my questions and throughly explained the problems and solutions they would implement to level the floor. Overall, I'm pleased with their work, being on time each day, and communication skills and would recommend.

I recently hired Bay Area Underpinning to underpin my home and my experience from start to finish was seamless.Jordan Christle, the lead foreman and his team were exceptional. They were communicative, polite and professional at all times. They were happy to answer any questions that I had prior to and during the process of underpinning my home and were quick to provide clarification and explanations to any of my concerns that I had during the job. Jordan provided extensive quality checks at all phases with his crew to ensure the best outcome for the home owner.The team’s knowledge base about their field was remarkable as they were able to come up with quality solutions that we could visibly see.I recommend Bay Area Underpinning without reservation and will continue to recommend them to anyone who should need their services.
