Foundation repair, concrete repair and crawl space repair in Bakersfield, CA

A specialist spends about 1 to 2 hours walking the property, taking floor elevation measurements, and mapping the affected area, then follows up with a written report and repair plan. The evaluation is free for homeowners.

Most of what we walk into here was built in the 2000s, 28,798 homes, around a median build year of 1989. 47,673 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. 73 percent of owner occupied homes here carry a mortgage, which is usually why a lender or an appraiser is the first to ask about a crack. Every evaluation ends with a written estimate that describes what we found at that house.
