Foundation Repair Services in Concord
We get it. Foundation problems are stressful. However, since we’ve successfully completed over 2700 foundation repairs in Northern California, we’re able to guide you through the repair process step by step. Our job is not only to repair your foundation but to keep you informed as we’re doing it. We’ll tell you exactly what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and when we’ll be doing it.
Sloping floors, and doors and windows that are out of place are signs of an un-level foundation. This is usually due to settlement and can be fixed via underpinning, a process which uses steel push piers to lift buildings back up to where they were before.
Helical piers are something like giant screws. They’re fast and easy to install, and this makes them perfect for new construction projects requiring a deep foundation system. They’re a cost-effective alternative to more traditional concrete piers.
Homes built on hillsides frequently experience foundation movement due to settlement. Soil that was once under the foundation, slowly, over time, makes its way down the hillside. Problems include sloping floors, doors and windows that stick, and thin cracks in drywall. We use concrete piers drilled deep down into the bedrock to stabilize the home.
Drainage problems, tree roots, and expansive clay soil can cause movement in concrete paths and walkways. Of course, uneven concrete is a safety hazard and should be repaired as soon as possible to avoid liability issues.
We lift concrete using a minimally-invasive technique that involves injecting polyurethane foam under it. The foam expands and lifts the concrete back into place. It’s not as expensive as replacing the concrete and you can use the path or walkway immediately after the repair has been completed.
Crawl Space Screw Jack Replacement
Sometimes, a foundation can be perfectly sound even though you see signs of settlement like cracked walls, and doors and windows that are no longer aligned. This is often caused by screw jacks that have deteriorated or crawl space support posts that have settled. In these cases, we can often use your existing pier locks and just remove/replace the posts or screw jacks. The floor can then be lifted back to its original position.

Bay Area Underpinning is THE company to use for foundation work. Aaron, and his crew, were incredibly professional from start to finish. The team kept the work space clean and tidy, communicated well, and updated me as timelines were solidified. They were always on time and ready to maximize their output for the day. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

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.

Bay Area Underpinning is OUTSTANDING!! Cody, Andrew, Francisco, David and their underpinning and concrete teams did exceptional work installing underpinnings to stabilize our house, then replacing the concrete patio that had to be removed to do the stabilization. Everyone on the teams were efficient, courteous, highly skilled, and thorough. I cannot recommend Bay Area Underpinning highly enough- through each step of the process, from the initial assessment and work quote, to the work and follow-up itself, the staff and crews of Bay Area Underpinning ensured that I was informed, reassured, and we’ll take care of. They were thoughtful about doing their work efficiently and cleaning up after the work was completed. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

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.

We recently had foundation work completed. The crew was on time every day and worked hard to keep a very dirty job and their traffic through the house to a minimum. The crew chief, Robert Busch, was amazing. Telling us what was planned for the day, any unforeseen problems, and giving us a recap of what was completed daily. We could not have had a better experience with his communication and hard work. Everyone was respectful and friendly. I also thought that the evaluation and estimate experience was positive. Jim communicated clearly and we never felt that work being suggested was unnecessary. He explained clearly and showed us pictures of what was going on under the house.Hope we never need them again, but would use them in a flash.
