Livermore, CA Foundation Repair and Concrete Lifting and Repair
Helical piers getting ready to be taken to a Livermore job site.
The city of Livermore has lots of benefits: beautiful weather year-round, many local vineyards, and a prime location in the East Bay area. However, as it's also very close to several seismic areas of activity, homeowners can experience foundation troubles. With many years of experience, Foundation Repair of CA is equipped to handle all of your foundation repair needs, keeping your home safe and sound.
Foundation problems can emerge in a number of ways. A catastrophic event like an earthquake can certainly cause issues, but other problems, like foundation settlement over time, can also be extremely serious if left untreated. In general, there are some pretty clear signs that your home might be suffering from a faulty foundation:
- Sagging floors and floor cracks
- Wall cracks
- Bowing walls
- Sticking doors and windows
- Tilting chimneys
Foundation Repair of CA has solutions for all of these common foundation problems and more. We can use foundation piers, such as helical or push piers, to halt foundation settlement and put an end to interior and exterior cracks. Our wall braces and anchors can reinforce bowing walls, preventing their collapse. And we also have crawl space support jacks to help straighten out any sagging floors. As a part of the Foundation Supportworks dealer network, all of the products and solutions we use have been tried and tested on thousands of homes across the country!
Sinking concrete slabs can create many of the same issues as settled foundations, including cracks and uneven floors on slabs like patios or driveways. Not only do these issues detract from the overall aesthetic appeal of your property, but they can also act as tripping hazards, potentially injuring your family and friends. Foundation Repair of CA uses PolyLevel®, a polyurethane foam, to get underneath a sunken slab and lift it to its original position!
Use NexusPro to seal all of the cracks in your concrete! Our durable and flexible formula resists UV rays and harsh weather and will never crack, bubble or dry out.
We also offer SealantPro to seal and protect your concrete against liquids, oils, and weather to prevent cracking, damage, and staining. It will lengthen the life of your concrete by 3-5 times and is the smart way to protect the value of your home!

Foundation cracks left unaddressed for long periods of time will continue to get worse; in some cases, the crack can get so bad that the entire foundation in that area will need to be replaced.
Mrs. F in Livermore knew that her foundation had a crack in it and she wanted to make sure she took care of it before the worst case scenario happened. After searching for a foundation company on Yelp, she found us and picked up the phone and scheduled a free inspection. Our Structural Consultant, Mike Anderson performed the inspection and observed the area of concern. By the end of the appointment, Mike had wrote a quote with a detailed drawing of the solution included. Mrs. F liked what she saw and decided to sign the quote.
The cause of this crack was due to the expansion of the rebar inside of the foundation. The expansion more than likely happened because moisture had either been present when the foundation was constructed or had somehow found a way into the foundation over time. Moisture causes rebar to bloat and expand (a process known as Oxidization), forcing it's way out of the foundation like a splinter from skin.
Our crew, lead by Foreman Chris Castaneda and his Second-In-Command Saul Del Rio, removed the bloated rebar from the foundation, installed a new fiberglass stick of rebar in its place, patched the area with new concrete, and then sealed the area with epoxy and a Carbon Fiber Patch (Carbon Armor).
Mr. B wanted to fix the walkway leading up to his front door. He was worried that the uneven concrete, being a tripping hazard, would have the potential to injure anyone who came to his home.
He called us out to provide an estimate for repairing his walkway. Our salesman, Hays Lawson, went to inspect the situation and determined that the concrete of the walkway was salvageable; we could repair it with an injection of PolyLEVEL Foam rather than replacing the slab entirely. Mr. B saw the estimate and was sold.
6 days after that appointment, our crew visited Mr. B and repaired the walkway within the same day. Now Mr. B has peace of mind knowing that visitors can step on the walkway without the fear of tripping over the concrete.
This home was experiencing crawl space flooding issues. Our solution was to install a SmartSump with drain pipe along the perimeter of the crawl space. Rainwater does no good beneath your house, we can help you keep it where it belongs.
