Foundation Repair Services in Livermore
It’s normal to feel stressed out over a foundation problem. After all, your home’s structural integrity rests on the soundness of its foundation. That’s why we are committed to making sure your foundation repair is as stress-free as possible. We make sure you understand your home’s particular foundation problem, how we’re going to fix it, and why we’ve chosen a specific solution. We’ve successfully repaired or replaced over 2700 foundations in Northern California. You’ll be in good hands!
Are you experiencing difficulty opening windows and doors? Are your floors sloped? Noticed a few wall cracks maybe? If so, your home’s foundation may no longer be level. We can re-level it using heavy duty steel push piers.
Helical piers – which look something like giant corkscrews – are a popular choice for construction projects requiring a deep foundation. They’re fast and easy to install, and less expensive than traditional concrete piers.
Homes built on hillsides can develop foundation problems related to something called soil creep. Soil that was at the top of the hill – and under your foundation – gradually, over time, creeps down the hill. This can cause a structure’s foundation to destabilize. We can fix this problem by drilling concrete piers deep down into the bedrock.
Over time, concrete sidewalks, walkways, pool decks, and driveways, can become uneven from things like invasive tree roots, expansive soil, and drainage problems. Because uneven concrete is a trip hazard, it should be repaired right away.
We can lift sunken concrete using a minimally-invasive procedure called slabjacking. A special polyurethane foam is injected under the slab, and as the foam expands, it lifts the concrete. It’s less expensive than replacing the slab and you can walk on the newly-lifted concrete as soon as the repair is done.
Crawl Space Screw Jack Replacement
Sometimes homeowners report signs of foundation settlement even though their foundation is perfectly sound. The problem is usually related to deteriorated screw jacks or sunken posts in the crawl space. We can often fix this problem simply by using the existing pier locks and removing and replacing the posts or screw jacks. The floor can then be lifted back up.

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!

Thank you Bay Area Underpinning for saving the day! I was in a challenging and prolonged situation since going into contract with EagleLift for the stabilization/lift for my house. After a long permit process and continuously delayed start dates, I was informed that EagleLift had been acquired by Groundworks and I’d have to wait a few more month before any progress could happen. It was a deeply frustrating process but the EagleLift team was able to connect us with Bay Area Underpinning (another Groundworks company) who were able to take over and expedite the project. To my surprise, James T. from BAU reached out quickly and assigned a team to come to my house within a week! The team that ended up working on the house, specifically Ish, John and Abel were exceptional. They were diligent, knowledgable, friendly and deeply considerate. They are truly pros who knocked the project out in no time which was reassuring since I was nervous that this project was gonna stretch into the rainy season. My house feels so stable now (minimal cracks too) and the considerable slope is now practically nonexistent! Thanks a lot James T., Ish, John, Abel and the BAU team for taking really great care of us.

We just bought a house and literally every single metal pier in the crawlspace was rusted out. Bay Are Underpinning came in and did an awesome job. Their inspector Aaron was super thorough in assessing the damage and explained everything in detail. Then, the repair crew of Eric, Jesus, and Andrew came in and knocked out the entire job in a day — a huge relief considering we had a ton of other work we need to get done before moving in. The work is not cheap, but they offer financing options and stand by their work, so I feel very good about the entire job.
