Foundation Repair Services in Livermore
It’s normal to feel stressed out over a foundation problem. After all, your home’s structural integrity rests on the soundness of its foundation. That’s why we are committed to making sure your foundation repair is as stress-free as possible. We make sure you understand your home’s particular foundation problem, how we’re going to fix it, and why we’ve chosen a specific solution. We’ve successfully repaired or replaced over 2700 foundations in Northern California. You’ll be in good hands!
Are you experiencing difficulty opening windows and doors? Are your floors sloped? Noticed a few wall cracks maybe? If so, your home’s foundation may no longer be level. We can re-level it using heavy duty steel push piers.
Helical piers – which look something like giant corkscrews – are a popular choice for construction projects requiring a deep foundation. They’re fast and easy to install, and less expensive than traditional concrete piers.
Homes built on hillsides can develop foundation problems related to something called soil creep. Soil that was at the top of the hill – and under your foundation – gradually, over time, creeps down the hill. This can cause a structure’s foundation to destabilize. We can fix this problem by drilling concrete piers deep down into the bedrock.
Over time, concrete sidewalks, walkways, pool decks, and driveways, can become uneven from things like invasive tree roots, expansive soil, and drainage problems. Because uneven concrete is a trip hazard, it should be repaired right away.
We can lift sunken concrete using a minimally-invasive procedure called slabjacking. A special polyurethane foam is injected under the slab, and as the foam expands, it lifts the concrete. It’s less expensive than replacing the slab and you can walk on the newly-lifted concrete as soon as the repair is done.
Crawl Space Screw Jack Replacement
Sometimes homeowners report signs of foundation settlement even though their foundation is perfectly sound. The problem is usually related to deteriorated screw jacks or sunken posts in the crawl space. We can often fix this problem simply by using the existing pier locks and removing and replacing the posts or screw jacks. The floor can then be lifted back up.

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.

I called in Bay Area Underpinning for foundation work. They were wonderful answering my many concerns, I received prompt return calls, the work was completed within an appropriate time frame, and the best thing he stayed with the estimate to the dollar. I loved the engineer, time frame, and minimal damage repair. I didn't know how my house was going to respond and even the marble and windows handled well. Unfortunately I didn't get the exact lift I wanted in the office even though they tried their hardest. My advice — call them when the problem first arises and the outcome and the house will lift with ease. I definitely recommend BAU. Because I live on a hill one pillar had to be covered – done. I also had a French drain installed to divert the water which was recommended. Thank you
