Foundation Repair of CA Before & After Photos

This homeowner decided to do an Earthquake Retrofit of their home. Within the crawlspace, we installed wooden sheathing over the existing cripple wall, we installed Simpson Strong-Tie URFP10s and L70s to connect the floor framing to the cripple wall and the cripple wall/mudsill to the foundation. Now with a retrofitted crawlspace, the home has increased it's value and it's resistance to Earthquakes. 

This customer, located in San Jose, came to us with concerns regarding uneven floors in his fixer-upper.

Wanting to remodel the home, he needed to make sure that the foundation and the floor were stable, and as close to level as possible, otherwise any remodeling he did would be ruined if the stability of the structure was in danger of worsening. 

Our Structural Consultant and Real Estate Division Manager, Fred Gonzalez, came to evaluate their situation. This  home had settling issues in the living room and kitchen. By installing our SmartJack Adjustable Steel Post system with cast-in-place concrete footings within the crawl space, we were able to level and stabilize the floor of this home. Now the homeowner can continue to remodel his fixer-upper so he can complete his goal of making a profit. 

This customer, located in San Jose, CA had recently purchased a house and noticed his floors were bowing and bouncing when he walked across them. Our Structural Consultant, Steve Mack, discovered during an inspection that the existing steel jacks that were supporting the floor had rusted. The steel jacks in their weakened state allowed the floor to sink in a few areas. By installing our Smart Jack System, we were able to lift and stabilize the floor. Sagging beams and floor joist are often the result of improper spacing of existing pier columns or weakened floor systems due to mold and wood rot. 

We can solve your foundation problems, big and small. 

Here we sealed a 1/4 inch crack with epoxy and our Carbon Armor Patch. 

A settling driveway was causing a garage entrance to be much higher than it.  Our crew injected PolyLevel Foam to lift and level the driveway to match the level of the garage. Our NexusPro joint sealant was also used to seal cracks in order to reduce water intrusion.
