What we fix
Ground under Gilbert is mapped clay, with a high shrink swell rating. That is soil that pushes when it is wet and pulls away when it dries.
What this looks likeOf the housing here, 3,953 homes predate 1980, with the biggest block of it going up in the 2000s. Original drainage is usually the story on those.
What this looks likeThe typical Gilbert house dates to 2002, old enough that the ground under it has been through every wet spring and dry summer since.

The USDA soil survey inside Gilbert comes back Contine at about 60 percent of the survey, with Mohall alongside it. The texture split is 100 percent clay. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 6.18 percent here, which USDA reads as high shrink swell potential. Clay content is 100 percent inside the city and 12 percent countywide.
The typical house dates to 2002, and the single biggest block of the stock, 35,399 homes, went up in the 2000s. 3,953 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. Of the owner occupied homes, 79 percent carry a mortgage.

"Under Gilbert the mapped soil is clay, rated high for shrink swell. Foundation repair here is not generic. It has to match what the ground is doing."
Our approach
Clay soil acts like a sponge under your house: it swells when it rains and shrinks through the dry months, and your foundation rides that movement year after year. Eventually the signs show up where you live, doors that stick, floors that slope, cracks that climb a wall in a stair step pattern. Dalinghaus Foundation Repair has repaired more than 2,000 foundations since brothers Brian and Brad Dalinghaus founded the company in 2011.
Every repair starts the same way: we measure. A floor elevation survey maps how your home sits before anyone recommends anything, so the fix matches the actual problem instead of a guess. When piers are the answer, we install galvanized steel helical or push piers and log the torque and depth on every one.
No band-aids, no pressure, and no work you do not need. That is what Never Settle means to us.
What we install
Where we work
Seville, Power Ranch, Morrison Ranch, San Tan Ranch and Adora Trails all sit inside the Gilbert city limits, so a job in any of them is scheduled out of the Phoenix office the same way as one downtown.

My client hired Dalinghaus to do an inspection on a home they have under contract for purchase. Jim was our expert and he was awesome. He was very thorough, clear and concise in his communication, and patient with answering lots of questions. I appreciate someone who will shoot you straight which is what Jim did. Highly recommend.
Honest!!! Met with Jim for foundation issue I thought I was having. Jim spent about an hour here and did a thorough check of the property. In conclusion he recommended there was no issue at all. He could have easily upsold me on something but was transparent and honest. Grateful for people like this!! If any issues arise in the future will definitely give Dalinghaus a call.
Jim Hughes earned my trust, answered my questions thoughtfully, and educated me on the foundation of my 72 year old Burnt Adobe home in Tucson. He was a friendly, knowledgeable, professional who took the time to understand our situation. I’m confident his recommendations will reflect a true portrayal of our needs and help us develop a practical plan to ensure our home’s foundation remains in solid condition. Thank You, Jim!
