Crawl Space Repair Pleasant Hill CA
Sometimes, a home with a crawl space will show signs of settlement – like misaligned doors and windows and wall cracks – even though there’s nothing wrong with the foundation. This typically happens due to one or more of the following:
- The original design failed to provide sufficient support for the floor.
- The existing screw jacks were installed incorrectly and have no corrosion protection.
- The drainage around the building’s exterior is poor and this has lead to water intrusion into the crawl space.
- The interior crawl space support posts have started to settle due to seasonal soil movement.
This issue of settlement can be handled using screw jacks, which are available in different sizes and weight capacities. All the deteriorated screw jacks in your crawl space will be removed and replaced with new ones of a suitable weight capacity. After that, the floor will be lifted and leveled.

Partial Foundation Replacement
Sometimes, a home’s foundation needs to be partially replaced. Of course, not all types of foundation damage require foundation replacement. Most damaged foundations can be easily repaired. But, if the damage is widespread and more serious, you might need full or partial foundation replacement.
Foundation Underpinning
If you have sloping floors, sticking doors and windows, and unlevel surfaces around your home, you might be facing a foundation settlement issue. Fortunately, most foundation settlement problems can be resolved with underpinning.
Foundation underpinning involves making small excavations in the affected area and then installing either resistance push piers or helical piers. Once the piers are in place, the foundation can be lifted and releveled using a synchronized hydraulic lifting system.
