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.

BAU did a great job on my ADU that had a serious moisture problem that was causing the building to deteriorate. I couldn't remove the tile without replacing it all at a large expense so they did the whole job in a very cramped crawl space. The guys they sent out were great and finished with everything in one day!!!

I had Joe inspect the crawlspace of my home, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. First off, he did the inspection for free, which is rare these days! Joe was professional, punctual, and thorough in his inspection, explaining everything he found in a way that was easy to understand. He took the time to ensure I knew what was going on beneath my home and didn't push any unnecessary services. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of an honest and detailed inspection. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

Brandon and his crew were wonderful to work with. We had pretty extensive movement in our foundation, and Brandon was knowledgeable and took the time to carefully explain all of our options and how each would look. He and his crew were communicative and professional. Our biggest fear was that our new kitchen granite counters would crack in the lifting, but Brandon and his crew were extremely mindful of the situation, taking extra care and nothing cracked. Thank you, Brandon!

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.

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!

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 hired BAU to underpin our foundation. After extensive research I learned that BAU does the best work and at reasonable prices. Jordan lead the crew that did the work on our house, and he was a joy to work with and we really trusted him and his team to take care of us. I am really glad we hired BAU, and we are happy to have our hillside home properly secured for the future!
