Signs of foundation and crawlspace issues in La Verne, CA

Don’t worry about having foundation issues if you only find one of these signs. It might be unrelated to a larger issue with your residential or commercial building. Contact a reliable, qualified, and licensed foundation repair contractor to look at your property.

Are you feeling the floor of your raised foundation sag? Chances are you have a crawlspace issue. Problems with your crawlspace can result from a larger foundation issue, though this isn’t always the case. The wood supporting your floor may be deteriorating. That or your posts and pads aren’t supporting the wood holding your floor.

The soil on your property might be causing foundation settlement, meaning the area of your residential or commercial building is sinking into the soil. This can either be due to soil erosion or expansive soil shrinking from being too dry.

If you’re seeing any of these signs of foundation or crawlspace issues, have a professional come inspect your property and come up with a repair plan that’s best for you.

Your foundation repair process in La Verne, CA

A FREE 60-90 minute foundation inspection will happen after you schedule an appointment. One of our Project Design Specialists will drive to your property to go around, look for signs of foundation or crawlspace failure, figure out the exact issue you’re dealing with, and later create a repair plan. They create a scaled drawing of your property with floor elevation measurements to help you understand what exactly is happening with the building.

Properties on the market will have a foundation inspection cost. Real estate foundation inspections are $1,000. The money is credited toward your foundation repair.

You’ll then receive a recommended repair plan from your Project Design Specialist the day of or after your initial foundation inspection. You’ll receive a funn report on what was found during your initial inspection, a CAD drawing of your property, and the recommended repair plan.

It’s up to you whether you want to move forward with your repair after receiving everything. If you agree to continue, your foundation or crawlspace repair project date will be scheduled. One of our production teams will complete your project, making it so you don’t have to deal with these issues on the property again.

The foundation and crawlspace repair methods used for your La Verne, CA

Dalinghaus Construction used galvanized steel Push pier and Helical pier underpinning systems to stabilize your home from foundation settlement. The system used depends on the weight of your commercial or residential building.

You’ll have Push piers hydraulically driven into the soil using the weight of your building until reaching loadbearing strata. Think of them like a nail being put into wood.

Helical piers are different since they have helices at the base. They’re more like a screw. Helical piers are used when a building is too light for Push piers to be effective. They’re put into the soil separately using a helical torque motor until reaching the recommended torque. They’re then attached to brackets bolted onto the concrete footing.

Both systems have the primary function of foundation stability, though they can both be used for foundation leveling. This means the area of your building affected by settlement is lifted to be as close to level as possible.

You need to fill voids and densify the soil if you’re dealing with soil erosion or you went through with foundation leveling. The perfect solution for this is deep injection with Polyurethane foam, which is effective for void fill, soil densification, and releveling (under certain circumstances). Polyurethane foam is rapidly expansive, cures in 15 minutes, is as hard as concrete when under enough pressure, is lightweight, and is environmentally safe.
The way crawlspace repair is done is by having one of our production teams go into your crawlspace to replace deteriorated wood like girder beams or installing crawlspace jacks to hold up the subfloor. Either way, you’ll have your floor feeling level again.

Foundation crack repair methods

One way to fix a foundation crack is using Epoxy, a glue-like resin, and have it gravity-fed into the gap until it fills and dries.

Another method is using Carbon Fiber wrapping, which is applied onto a crack to provide extra strength. It also keeps water out of the crack so it doesn’t cause rebar to rust and cause a blowout.
