Engineering Review

For significant work, a structural engineer reviews and stamps the repair design.

03

Repair Installation

Steel push piers or helical piers are installed to bedrock or load-bearing soil; wall anchors or carbon fiber straps address bowing walls.

Foundation Repair FAQ for Los Angeles Homeowners

How often should Los Angeles homeowners get foundation repair?
Given Los Angeles's fire season (october–december) with santa ana winds, most homeowners benefit from foundation repair at least once a year. Post-fire ash and debris cleanup often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Los Angeles most need foundation repair?
Stucco bungalows and Spanish colonial homes and Mid-century modern homes are the most common home types in Los Angeles and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Are all foundation cracks serious?
Not all cracks are structural. Hairline cracks in block or poured walls from normal curing are common. Horizontal cracks in block walls, stair-step cracks, and cracks over 1/4 inch wide are more serious and warrant professional evaluation.
How do I know if my foundation is failing?
Warning signs: doors and windows that stick or won't close, sloping floors, diagonal cracks from window corners, cracks wider than 1/4 inch, and horizontal cracks in basement walls.
Can a foundation be repaired or does it need to be replaced?
Foundation repair — not replacement — is almost always the solution. Replacement is extremely rare and prohibitively expensive. Piers, anchors, and drainage correction resolve the vast majority of issues.
Do I need to disclose foundation repairs when selling?
Yes. Known foundation issues and past repairs must be disclosed in most states. A repaired foundation with a transferable warranty is often less concerning to buyers than an untouched failing foundation.
