Depending on the condition of your crawl space, crawl space repair experts in Martinez, CA, from Bay Area Underpinning might recommend the following services:

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.

Signs Your Crawl Space Needs Repair

Some signs a crawl space needs repair include sloped floors, interior wall cracks, and floors that feel spongy when walked on. Other signs that you need to look out for are:

  • Increased moisture level in the crawl space

  • Wood rot
  • Condensation
  • Issues with the floor joists

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.

The permiting process took a long time, but that's not their fault. The cost was very high but competitive with another contractor.

When we had our 1960s home underpinned, the consultant arrived on time to give us a quote. He gave us different options for work to be done and had solutions to cutting cost on things that weren't absolutely necessary. The work was done within a week. All of the workers were professional. Something that stood out the most was the way the workers communicated with each other. They weren't your typical construction crew in this sense. They were very kind to each other and supportive of each other, even when they were in a difficult situation. This isn't common in construction. As for the cost, it was what we had expected and we don't have any complaints. Our house is level now and doesn't feel like we're drunk walking in areas that were previously sagging. There's a reason Bay Area Underpinning is #1 in the area. Would recommend, even if they aren't the cheapest- they get the job done right.
