The Challenge
A homeowner in Brentwood, CA, was experiencing cracking and uneven elevations on the interior of their home. Over time, these issues worsened, creating significant concern for the homeowner about the structural integrity of their property. Recognizing the need for professional assistance, the homeowner contacted Foundation Repair of CA to conduct a free assessment and provide insights into the underlying causes of these concerning symptoms.

Assessment
During the assessment, Foundation Repair of CA identified that foundation settlement was the root cause of the cracking and uneven floors.

The team presented a proposed solution and provided an exact cost for the repairs during the same visit, giving the homeowner clarity and peace of mind.

Solution

The Solution
To address the foundation settlement, Foundation Repair of CA implemented the following solutions:

Push Pier Installation

Excavated soil up to 3 feet deep at specific locations, as outlined in the job drawings.
Installed Push Piers with low-profile brackets to stabilize and support the foundation.

Concrete Removal and Replacement

Removed concrete sections, approximately 2’ x 2’ per pier area, to allow for the installation of Push Piers.
Replaced the removed sections with grey broom-finish concrete. While the new concrete did not match the existing finish or color, the replacement was limited to the areas necessary for pier installation, minimizing disruption to the home's appearance.
