What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Fountain Valley
Stair Step Cracks

Why foundations move in Fountain Valley
The soil this town is built on
Soil mapping within Fountain Valley returns Hueneme at about 60 percent of the survey, with Bolsa and Metz alongside it. By texture that survey runs 20 percent clay and 80 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 2.36 percent, a low shrink swell rating. Against 42 percent clay across Orange County, the city sample reads 20 percent.
What these homes were built like
The typical house dates to 1973, and the single biggest block of the stock, 8,162 homes, went up in the 1970s. The 15,711 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 17 percent of the housing here, 3,164 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Of the owner occupied homes, 62 percent carry a mortgage.

What California customers say
Brian came out for a free consultation to see if our house had foundation issues. We were getting some cracking in our drywall and wanted to know if it was a settlement issue. Brian measured the various elevations in our house, both inside and outside. He also went down in the crawlspace to observe the foundation. He determined our house did not have a major settling issue. He was knowledgeable about expansive soil and we were able to pick his brain about the kind of soil our house was built on. He talked through potential soil strengthening solutions with us, but didn’t recommend any major work be done at the moment. This company has serious integrity- they come out for free, and then determine they are not needed for further work. I will be recommending them to friends who may have foundation issues!!
I requested an evaluation due to a crack in our garage floor, and I wanted to be sure nothing more serious was happening. Getting the appointment was very straightforward, and Dalinghaus sent me links to a couple useful videos which I reviewed before my appointment. Phil was very professional in finalizing the timing of the appointment and in performing the evaluation once he was here. Phil determined there was no need for foundation work or repair of the crack in the garage, but he did give me advice on what to look for that might signal something more serious in the future.
I was onsite today to haul away broken concrete and debris, and I was genuinely impressed by Dillon and his crew. The jobsite was extremely clean, organized, and run with a high level of professionalism. Dillon took the time to walk me through the foundation repair work they were doing and explained everything clearly. What stood out most was the teamwork. The guys even helped load the concrete and trash into my truck. Top-notch crew, great attitudes, and quality work. I’d confidently recommend Dillon and his team to anyone needing foundation repair.
