How we diagnose foundation problems
Good fixes start with a good diagnosis. We look for visible and hidden signs, such as:
- Wall and ceiling cracks (horizontal or stair-step).
- Doors or windows that stick.
- Uneven or sloping floors.
- Gaps between walls and floors or cabinets.
- Moisture, pooling water, or soil erosion near the foundation.
After the inspection, we provide an illustrated report and a clear price. No jargon — just the facts and recommended steps.
Proven repair methods we use
Our team installs industry-standard systems chosen for San Diego conditions. Methods we use include:
- Helical piers — fast to install, great for moderate settling and near-surface soils.
- Push piers/steel piers — transfer load to stable deep soils for heavy settling.
- Polyurethane slab lifting — minimal disruption, quick cures for settled slabs and sidewalks.
- Concrete underpinning — for full structural rebuild and rehabilitation.
- Drainage and waterproofing — to remove water as a cause of soil change and decay.
We explain the pros and cons of each method so you can choose the best fit for your budget and long-term goals.
