Foundation Repair Services in Alameda
We’ve been taking care of foundation problems in Alameda CA since 2005. To date, we’ve successfully repaired or replaced over 2700 foundations in Northern California. We offer…
Sloped floors, difficulty opening doors and windows, and wall cracks are all signs of an un-level foundation. We can use heavy duty steel push piers to lift and re-stabilize the foundation.
Spiral staircase-shaped (or corkscrew, if you prefer!) helical piers are great for projects that require a deep foundation. They’re both quick and easy to install, and they’re less expensive than traditional concrete piers.
If your home is situated on the side of a hill, it could be susceptible to foundation destabilization and lateral movement caused by soil creep. Concrete piers – drilled deep down into the bedrock – will resist this lateral movement.
Sunken, un-level concrete walkways – including sidewalks, pool decks, and driveways – are both a safety hazard and a liability issue. However, they can be easily lifted again using a minimally-invasive procedure known as slabjacking. This involves injecting a special foam under the slab in order to lift it back up. It’s a cost-effective alternative to replacing the concrete, and you can use the slab immediately after the repair is done.
Crawl Space Screw Jack Replacement
Every once in awhile we find a home that’s showing signs of foundation trouble even though there’s nothing wrong with the foundation. This is what happens when either the screw jacks have gone bad, or when the supports in the crawl space have settled. We can fix this by using the existing pier locks, and then just removing/replacing the screw jacks or posts. The floor can then be lifted up again.

Foreman Andrew is incredible and a leader. We hired BAU to perform a whole house underpinning job from December 2022-March 2023. Our recently purchased 1950's home sat on expansive clay soil and had been settling for decades. The project was a big job and complicated by the winter rains that occurred throughout many days of the project. Andrew was extremely professional, knowledgeable about every aspect of the job and managed the entire project class and skill.He communicates very effectively and is transparent to assuage any concerns that we had on the project. He also shows up earlier than anyone, and works the entire day, rain or shine, in the mud and trenches with his team. This leadership was impressive. Since the completion of our project, he has remained available and came out to make some minor adjustments promptly and free of charge. Without any hesitation, I would entrust BAU to do my foundation work with the demand that Andrew lead the project. Thank you Andrew and your crew for a job well done.

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.

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!!!
