Experienced Concrete Leveling & Foundation Repair Company in Berkeley, CA

Mr. O was planning on selling his home in a few years. He wanted to make sure that the home's foundation was stable before heading down the road of hiring a realtor and cleaning the house to a point where it looked like he was always this cleanly. 

He had known that something was off about his foundation but he wasn't sure what the extent of the problem was. He called us to do an inspection and give him a quote. Our Structural Consultant, Zach Brancato, performed the inspection and determined that the right side of the home was sinking away from the rest of the home. He designed a proposal for a solution and Mr. O agreed. 

Our crew, lead by Foreman Ash Gonzales, installed a total of 13 Push Piers, 4 of which included Helical Lateral Restraints for extra protection against lateral movement. Mr. O was proactive in his hunt for the solution to fixing his foundation and we were so happy that he chose us to do the work for him. Now Mr. O can rest assured that he has completed a project that was originally a huge hurdle for him. 

When Mary first retired she already had a vision for where she wanted to go. She had spent most of her adult life living in the same house with her husband. It was there that they raised three children two adorable dogs. Their kids were all grown up now, and now the bedrooms that once house their children are now accumilating dust. Mary didn't mind it too much though, because she and her husband had planned to leave for awhile now. They had been investing in small renovations to their home as their grandchildren grew up, and now that their youngest grandchild was about to graduate high school they were ready to sell their home and move to somewhere warm and that'd be a better fit for just the two of them. However, when they talked to their realator they found an issue. Despite the home renovations that they had made on the inside of the house, they were told that their evaluation wasn't going to be as good as they expected because of their driveway.

Mary's driveway had cracked down the middle and one of the portions of the slab had tilted while the rest of it had sunk. The realtor suggested getting the entire driveway removed and replaced which would cost thousands and thousands of dollars. Thankfully Mary had called Foundation Repair of California, and within a week Sam Phelps was able to go out and inspect the driveway. Sam had found that, despite the slab being cracked, the concrete was in actually good condition, and so gave them a quote that same day for a fraction of what it'd be to replace the whole slab.

Within two weeks the polyurethane crew was able to come out, tilt the broken slab back into place, thus closing the crack, and then lift the entire slab as one unit. After this, they sealed the crack and the joints with a silicone-based caulking. Mary was astonished to see the work done. In a matter of a few hours, her driveway was completely flush with her garage slab and the eyesore of a crack was completely sealed. Mary was able to get a better evaluation on her house and the future homeowner never has to worry about a sinking driveway.
