We’ve been repairing foundations in Martinez since 2005. So, we know how stressful a foundation problem can be for homeowners. Because we’ve successfully completed 2700 foundation repairs in Northern California, we can put your mind at ease by walking you through the process step by step. We’ll educate you about exactly what we’re doing and keep you updated while we’re doing it.
Signs of a sinking foundation include floors that slope, and doors and windows that stick. The most common cause of a sinking foundation is settlement. This might be something that happened slowly over time, or it might be due to a catastrophic event. Whatever the cause, we can use heavy-duty steel push piers to lift the building back up again.
Helical piers get their name because they’re shaped like a helices. They’re giant screws, in other words. They’re less expensive that concrete piers, easily install in no time, and are great for construction projects requiring a deep foundation system.
If your home is situated on the side of a hill, you may eventually notice foundation settlement caused by soil movement. This happens because the soil that was once under your foundation at the top of the hill, eventually makes its way down the hill. Signs include windows and doors that are no longer aligned, sloped floors, and cracks in drywall. We can install concrete piers deep into the bedrock in order to stabilize the structure.
Settling in concrete sidewalks and other types of walkways is caused by a number of things, including expansive soils, tree roots, and problems with drainage. All these cause soil movement under the slab which then causes it to sink. Uneven concrete is both a safety and a liability issue, and should be repaired immediately.
Lifting settled concrete is a minimally-invasive process that involves injecting polyurethane foam under the slab in order to lift it up. It’s less expensive than replacing the concrete and when the procedure is complete, you can use the sidewalk or walkway immediately.
Crawl Space Screw Jack Replacement
There are times when homeowners notice signs of settlement even though their home’s foundation is perfectly sound. When this happens the problem is usually cased by deteriorated screw jacks or settled crawl space support posts. We can use the existing pier locks and just remove/replace the posts or screw jacks. The floor can then be lifted up again.

This company gets a 10 out of 10 from me. From my initial consultation with Rick DeSoto to the work performed by foreman Raul, and his team Jonathan and Demareon, this was the best possible experience in working Bay Area Underpinning for the first time. The crew was professional and adjusted the leveling jacks (and even added a couple as was needed) with care and great attention. Pricing was very reasonable too. I'll never trust any other company to do this type of work at my home. 100% satisfied with the work and my interactions with the crew. A+ work performed = A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER!!!

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
