If your home sits on a raised foundation, there is a crawl space under your floors, a low area between the ground and the framing where wood posts, concrete piers, and girder beams carry the weight of the house. Serving Mesa and the surrounding Maricopa County.
A local specialist will evaluate your foundation, walk you through the findings, and send a clear estimate. No cost, no pressure.

The median home was finished in 1988, with more of the stock built in the 1980s than in any other decade, 54,822 homes. Survey figures show a median home value of $327,700 and a median household income of $73,766. Owners hold 122,099 of the occupied homes, renters the other 71,217. About 65,726 homes, 34 percent of the stock, predate 1980 and the drainage standards that came with it.

What we fix
The USDA survey under Mesa reads loam and rates its shrink swell potential low. Ground that does not swell much can still move: it settles, and it moves fastest where water is allowed to collect against a footing.
What this looks likeThe pre 1980 stock in Mesa runs to 65,726 homes, which is where we most often find drainage that was never engineered.
What this looks likeThe typical Mesa house dates to 1988, old enough that the ground under it has been through every wet spring and dry summer since.
What this looks likeLocal conditions
Sampled inside the Mesa city limits, the USDA survey reads Gilman at about 60 percent of the survey, with Mohall alongside it. The texture split is 40 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 2.46 percent here, which USDA reads as low shrink swell potential. Against 12 percent clay across Maricopa County, the city sample reads 40 percent.
The 1980s put up more homes than any other decade, 54,822 of them, and the median year built is 1988. 65,726 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. 22 percent of the housing here, 43,459 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Mortgages sit on 65 percent of the owner occupied homes in Mesa.

"Under Mesa the mapped soil is loam, rated low for shrink swell. Crawl space repair here is not generic. It has to match what the ground is doing."
Our approach
When that system weakens, you feel it upstairs: floors that sag or bounce, doors that stop latching, a musty smell that never quite airs out. The cause is almost always one of two things. Moisture gets in through poor drainage or grading and rots the wood supports, or the clay soil under the piers moves, because clay acts like a sponge, swelling when wet and shrinking when dry, and the supports ride that movement until they lean or sink.
Dalinghaus Foundation Repair's crawl space repair solutions address the whole system, not just the symptom. Depending on what the evaluation finds, that can mean replacing rotted posts and pads, installing steel crawl space jacks to lift and level sagging girders, repairing stem walls, correcting the drainage that let water in, improving ventilation, adding root barriers, or seismic retrofitting that ties the structure to its foundation. The work happens inside the crawl space, so most repairs cause little disruption to your household, and many are finished quickly once the plan is set.
It starts with a free evaluation: a specialist enters the crawl space, documents the supports and moisture conditions, measures your floor elevations, and gives you the findings in writing whether or not you hire us. Since brothers Brian and Brad Dalinghaus founded the company in 2011, we have completed more than 2,000 projects across California, Arizona, and Nevada, and crawl space repair has been core work the entire time. If your crawl space shows these warning signs, schedule your free evaluation.

Jim came out to do the inspection and was very professional, thorough and answered all my questions. Explained the two options, how long it would take and what it would take to do either one. Very satisfied with the inspection.
I actually did not use this company, but I did consult with Ted. He was honest in that my job was just too small for his company and he suggested places for me to find the appropriate help.
Geat communication from office to field. Very knowledgeable and good from verifying the issues to giving you as many options and information needed to fix your problem
