Foundation Repair Services in Concord
We get it. Foundation problems are stressful. However, since we’ve successfully completed over 2700 foundation repairs in Northern California, we’re able to guide you through the repair process step by step. Our job is not only to repair your foundation but to keep you informed as we’re doing it. We’ll tell you exactly what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and when we’ll be doing it.
Sloping floors, and doors and windows that are out of place are signs of an un-level foundation. This is usually due to settlement and can be fixed via underpinning, a process which uses steel push piers to lift buildings back up to where they were before.
Helical piers are something like giant screws. They’re fast and easy to install, and this makes them perfect for new construction projects requiring a deep foundation system. They’re a cost-effective alternative to more traditional concrete piers.
Homes built on hillsides frequently experience foundation movement due to settlement. Soil that was once under the foundation, slowly, over time, makes its way down the hillside. Problems include sloping floors, doors and windows that stick, and thin cracks in drywall. We use concrete piers drilled deep down into the bedrock to stabilize the home.
Drainage problems, tree roots, and expansive clay soil can cause movement in concrete paths and walkways. Of course, uneven concrete is a safety hazard and should be repaired as soon as possible to avoid liability issues.
We lift concrete using a minimally-invasive technique that involves injecting polyurethane foam under it. The foam expands and lifts the concrete back into place. It’s not as expensive as replacing the concrete and you can use the path or walkway immediately after the repair has been completed.
Crawl Space Screw Jack Replacement
Sometimes, a foundation can be perfectly sound even though you see signs of settlement like cracked walls, and doors and windows that are no longer aligned. This is often caused by screw jacks that have deteriorated or crawl space support posts that have settled. In these cases, we can often use your existing pier locks and just remove/replace the posts or screw jacks. The floor can then be lifted back to its original position.

Had BAU take care of a chimney that was leaning away from my home, fix my front door which would jam at times of the year and relevel my floors. This was my second time working with BAU who installed screw jacks and leveled my floors several years ago. This time, Juan took a look at the problem areas, took measurements, made recommendations that fit my needs and budget and answered all my questions. Gonzalo and team came to work on my property. They worked quickly to install piers under the chimney and in the crawl space. They put tarp down to keep the house clean in the areas they needed access and cleaned up after themselves each day on the job. They answered my questions and throughly explained the problems and solutions they would implement to level the floor. Overall, I'm pleased with their work, being on time each day, and communication skills and would recommend.

We recently had foundation work completed. The crew was on time every day and worked hard to keep a very dirty job and their traffic through the house to a minimum. The crew chief, Robert Busch, was amazing. Telling us what was planned for the day, any unforeseen problems, and giving us a recap of what was completed daily. We could not have had a better experience with his communication and hard work. Everyone was respectful and friendly. I also thought that the evaluation and estimate experience was positive. Jim communicated clearly and we never felt that work being suggested was unnecessary. He explained clearly and showed us pictures of what was going on under the house.Hope we never need them again, but would use them in a flash.
