Crawl Space Foundation Repair
When you see signs of settlement like misaligned doors and windows, cracks, etc., it could be due to one or more of the following:
- Wrong installation of screw jacks
- Settling interior crawl space support posts caused by soil movement
- Lack of support for the floor
- Poor drainage around the exterior of the home, which leads to water intrusion in the crawl space
To repair crawl space foundations, our experts at Bay Area Underpinning use screw jacks. These are available in different sizes and weight capacities, depending on the condition of your crawl space. After the deteriorated screw jacks or posts are removed and replaced, the sagging floor can be lifted.

Helical Piers Installation
Helical piers (also called helical piles) are large, steel foundation pins that look something like corkscrews. They’re often used for new construction projects requiring a deep foundation system due to soil conditions.
Helical piers are designed to provide the necessary support to prevent new buildings from settling. They come with many benefits, including:
- Can be installed quickly
- Provide increased stability with the use of multiple bearing plates
- Can be installed any time of the year
- Suitable for environmentally sensitive areas
- Require less excavation compared to other types of piers
Concrete Lifting
Over time, the concrete slabs around your home – patio, driveway, sidewalk, pool deck – can become uneven for different reasons, including drainage issues, expansive soil, tree roots, etc. Sunken concrete slabs can be a trip hazard and can lead to serious injuries. Fortunately, they can be lifted using a procedure called slabjacking.
Slabjacking, or concrete lifting, is a technique that involves the use of polyurethane foam injection to lift the sunken concrete. Once the foam is injected beneath the affected concrete, it starts to react and expand, raising and releveling the slab.

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!

I called in Bay Area Underpinning for foundation work. They were wonderful answering my many concerns, I received prompt return calls, the work was completed within an appropriate time frame, and the best thing he stayed with the estimate to the dollar. I loved the engineer, time frame, and minimal damage repair. I didn't know how my house was going to respond and even the marble and windows handled well. Unfortunately I didn't get the exact lift I wanted in the office even though they tried their hardest. My advice — call them when the problem first arises and the outcome and the house will lift with ease. I definitely recommend BAU. Because I live on a hill one pillar had to be covered – done. I also had a French drain installed to divert the water which was recommended. Thank you
