NOT SURE? WE'LL TELL YOU STRAIGHT. Free inspection, no pressure. If your foundation is solid, we will say so and you will not get a sales pitch. If it needs work, you get photos, elevation readings and a written price.
WHAT WE DOFOUNDATION SERVICES WE SPECIALIZE IN
Raised foundations behave differently from slabs. Everything below is work our crews perform every week across San Diego and Orange County.
Raised Foundation RepairRaised foundations are our whole business. We repair and rebuild the wood framing, piers and posts that hold your home up so floors sit level and stay that way.

Usually, homes built before 1960 in San Diego County and Orange County will have raised foundations. A raised foundation (or crawl space) is an above-ground home foundation consisting of concrete piers and wooden components like posts, girders, and joists that can deteriorate over time and become unstable, often requiring professional foundation repair in SD and OC.
Shifting and expansive soil in San Diego and Orange County can cause lateral movement to your home’s foundation, leading to cracks above doors and windows. This is a common sign of foundation problems. If you notice cracks over your windows and doors in your SD or OC home, Call (619) 815-7025 for a free (some restrictions apply) inspection to determine the best repair method for your SD or OC home.
Bulging stucco or plaster in homes throughout San Diego and Orange County can indicate excessive water damage, which adds weight to the stem wall and may cause severe foundation damage. If you’ve noticed bulging stucco in your SD or OC property, contact us for a free (some restrictions apply) foundation inspection.
Foundation movement is a common cause of sticking doors and windows in homes in San Diego County and Orange County. If your doors or windows are jamming, your foundation may need crawl space foundation repair before the problem worsens. Call (619) 815-7025 for a free (some restrictions apply) inspection in SD or OC.
In SD and OC homes, gaps between the chimney and the house are often caused by earthquakes, water damage, or shifting soil that moves foundation components over time. If you’ve noticed this issue, call (619) 815-7025 for a free foundation inspection (some restrictions apply) to determine the best repair method for your SD or OC home.
Older homes in San Diego and Orange County with expansive or shifting soil can experience foundation sinking or shifting, which causes floors to feel spongy or soft. If your floors feel this way, contact us or call (619) 815-7025 for a free foundation inspection (some restrictions apply) in SD or OC.
For homes in San Diego and Orange County, repair options include whole-house lift and total foundation rebuild, hydraulic lift and leveling, or partial rebuild and repair-in-place solutions. Call (619) 815-7025 for a free (some restrictions apply) inspection to determine the best foundation repair method for your SD or OC home.

It depends entirely on how much of the support system is failing. Replacing a few posts and piers is a modest repair, while re-supporting and leveling an entire floor system is a much larger project. That is why the inspection is free - we look at your actual house and give you an itemized written estimate instead of a phone guess.
Most post and pier replacements are finished in one to three days. Larger leveling projects and full crawl space rebuilds usually run three days to two weeks. Leveling is deliberately done in stages so the house lifts gradually and finishes do not crack. Your estimate includes a realistic schedule.
Yes. A specialist comes out, goes under the accessible crawl space, documents conditions with photos, takes floor elevation readings and gives you a written estimate at no charge. If we find nothing wrong, we tell you that and there is still no bill.
Financing options are available for larger repairs. Ask about them during your inspection and we will go over the current terms and what your project would look like on a monthly payment.
Almost always moisture and time. Water under the house rots posts, beams and joists; expansive soil moves piers; termites hollow out wood members; and many older homes were built on undersized brick or mud-set piers that were never meant to last a century. Poor drainage around the perimeter speeds all of it up.
Yes. When a repair requires a permit we pull it and coordinate the inspections with your city or county building department, whether you are in San Diego County or Orange County. You do not have to chase paperwork.
If there are vents or an access door in the perimeter wall near ground level, and the first floor sits a step or more above the yard, you almost certainly have a raised foundation with a crawl space underneath. A slab home sits directly on concrete with no vents. If you are not sure, we will confirm it during the free inspection.
Every repair comes with a written workmanship warranty covering the work we performed and the materials we installed. You get it in writing at the final walkthrough, along with photo documentation of the completed repair.
