What We Offer in Commercial Services

Bay Area Underpinning provides customized, holistic repair solutions that cater to the unique requirements of our commercial clientele, including:

Galvanized Steel Push Piers

Galvanized steel push piers—also called piles, push piles, and resistance piers—redistribute a building’s weight to stable soil layers. They are essential for stabilizing and elevating foundations that have settled.

Push piers are hydraulically driven deep into the ground to leverage the building’s weight and anchor into load-bearing soil. Once set, synchronized hydraulic lifts gently elevate the structure to its optimal level, ensuring it’s as level as possible without risking structural damage.

Polyurethane Injections

Concrete lifting with polyurethane injections quickly lifts and stabilizes uneven slabs, eliminating tripping hazards on sidewalks, driveways, streets, and warehouse floors. Typically completed in hours, the process involves drilling small holes in the concrete, injecting expanding polyurethane foam, and patching the holes. This method is more cost-effective and durable than concrete replacement or mudjacking. It’s also applicable for deep injections.

New Construction Helical Piers

For new constructions requiring deep foundations, helical piers offer an efficient and less invasive alternative to traditional concrete piers for new constructions requiring deep foundations. Installed by screwing into the soil to engineer-specified depths, they are available in various sizes and designs to support deep foundations and prevent settling.

Helical Tiebacks

Helical tiebacks are used to reinforce, straighten, and stabilize bowing walls and retaining walls. The installation process is swift and non-intrusive, minimizing yard disruption. These steel rods can gradually straighten walls over time or immediately when combined with excavation.

Carbon Fiber Reinforcements

Carbon fiber has been a staple in commercial aircraft construction for decades, renowned for its unparalleled strength and resistance to breakage. We find it applicable for commercial buildings and have used this trusted method to stabilize cracked or bowed concrete walls for many years. The installation is quick and clean, with straps anchoring at the foundation’s footing, wall, and sill plate to prevent further wall movement.

Drilled Concrete Piers

Ideal for structures on hillsides affected by soil creep, concrete piers stabilize foundations experiencing lateral movement or settling. They’re also used for retaining walls and new constructions needing deep foundations. The process involves drilling into bedrock, placing steel reinforcement cages, and filling them with concrete.

Our repair services are subjected to rigorous testing and are installed to exceed the highest industry standards, assuring long-lasting results. Whether your goal is to achieve ADA compliance or enhance your property’s aesthetics, Bay Area Underpinning is equipped with the specialized expertise and tools necessary to achieve exceptional results.

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.

I recommend Bay Area Underpinning for an important reason: honesty. After careful inspection, their agent, Richard, told me the truth, which was that my crawlspace was fine, that I had no problem with moisture or settling. And then he took the time to show me why. He could have tried to sell me on doing a lot of work, but he didn't. This kind of honesty is impressive! Call Bay Area Underpinning to inspect your crawlspace. You can trust them. If they say it needs work, hire them to do it. I am almost sorry I couldn't!

I recently scheduled an inspection after concerns around my foundation and worked with Jim Rivera on my home. Jim was super helpful and knowledgeable in assessing the severity of my foundation issues, while also assessing other parts of the home that might be contributing to potential damage in the future. I was surprised how helpful he was in helping me understand different scenarios, planning for near-term/long term fixes, and putting my mind at ease over the foundation issues. I'd definitely recommend working with Jim and his team!

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!

Several months ago, I noticed that doors in my house were no longer closing and latching. Specifically, my front door no longer locked completely. Once I got it fully locked I could no longer open my front door anymore, so I knew I had foundation issues. I called Bay Area Underpinning to come look at my foundation and do some measurements. We discovered that my front living room was sinking approximately one and a half to 2 inches. The crew, Lance Sladek, Jake Hall, and Eddie Shaw, crawled under my house and dug 30 to 40 foot holes in the ground to install piers that would lift my foundation. These gentlemen worked in very cramped dirty conditions in 90-100° weather. I was extremely happy with their work and their dedication to doing the job correctly. My after the foundation lift, my front door as well as several other doors in my home were able to close and latch again.

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.

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