About Lakewood
What Lakewood looks like from the truck
Lakewood lies inside Los Angeles County in California. Roughly 26,388 households sit here, home to about 81,499 people. Of the occupied homes, 72 percent are owner occupied; 21,446 are detached single family.
Work here is served from the Irvine office, about 35 minutes away at 27 miles. Countywide, Los Angeles County holds 1,726,365 detached single family homes and runs 46 percent owner occupied. Those households are roughly 1 percent of the Los Angeles County total. Los Angeles County as a whole is about 9,848,406 people and 3,624,084 housing units. Half the housing predates 1957, and the 1950s were the busiest building years at 14,132 homes. A median home value of $695,200 and a median household income of $113,030 is what the American Community Survey records. 18,915 of those homes are lived in by their owners and 7,473 are rented. Roughly 91 percent of the housing here, 23,913 homes, went up before 1980, when footing drains and grade separations were not what they are now.

What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Lakewood
Drywall Cracks
A low shrink swell rating on rock across Los Angeles County means seasonal swelling is not the story. What moves a foundation on ground like this is loading, drainage and the first time a dry layer gets properly wet.
What this looks likeCracked Bricks
Of the housing here, 23,913 homes predate 1980, with the biggest block of it going up in the 1950s. Original drainage is usually the story on those.
What this looks likeUneven Floors
The typical Lakewood house dates to 1957, so the ground under it has been carrying the house, and taking in irrigation and storm water, ever since.

The soil this town is built on
Mapped soil inside Lakewood is recorded as disturbed urban ground, so the useful reading is the wider one. Across Los Angeles County the USDA survey is Millsholm family at about 9 percent of the survey, with Trigo family and Rock outcrop alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 14 percent clay and 16 percent sand. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 2.58 percent, a low shrink swell rating.
The age of the housing
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 1950s, 14,132 homes, around a median build year of 1957. 23,913 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. Mortgages sit on 71 percent of the owner occupied homes in Lakewood.

What California customers say
Their reputation of being honest , straight shooters is rightfully earned. I had concerns that our foundation was settling after we had a slab leak. Tom arrived , looked at all of my concerns , answered every question, provided me with a lot of knowledge, took measurements and ultimately gave me the good news that there wasn't anything to worry about. Tom was someone that I instantly felt comfortable with, like someone who you've known for a long time and with the kind of knowledge that eliminates any concerns. As someone in the trades myself, you tend to recognize people you can trust. I have a feeling that Tom was a reflection of the company as a whole. .. while we actually didn't need to have any work done, I know who I will strongly recommend to anyone with foundation concerns. ... Good people deserve recognition. Thank you Dalinghaus Foundation Repair
We couldn't be happier with the results !if you're looking for a trustworthy construction company, this is the one to call.
Matt and Dillon and the whole Dalinghaus crew did a fantastic job on my foundation. They went above and beyond, putting long hours everyday. The superintendent James is a foundation magician. When I left my house on Labor Day of 2023, I never thought I would be able to return to my home again. Thank you Dalinghaus for giving my home back to me!
