The crew that covers Palm Desert works out of our Lake Elsinore office, 56 miles away, about 70 minutes on the road. Riverside County carries 591,648 detached single family homes in total, 69 percent owner occupied. Those households are roughly 3 percent of the Riverside County total. Riverside County as a whole is about 2,449,909 people and 860,042 housing units. Building peaked in the 1980s at 12,141 homes, which is why the median year built sits at 1985.

What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Palm Desert
Drywall Cracks
A low shrink swell rating on sand under Palm Desert 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
11,966 homes in Palm Desert were finished before 1980, back when a footing drain was optional and backfill was rarely compacted.
What this looks likeRaised Foundation Settlement
The typical Palm Desert house dates to 1985, old enough that the ground under it has been through every wet spring and dry summer since.

Why foundations move in Palm Desert
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Palm Desert comes back Myoma at about 60 percent of the survey, with Gilman and Coachella alongside it. The texture split is 20 percent clay and 80 percent sand. Weighted linear extensibility runs 1.5 percent, which is the figure USDA turns into a low shrink swell rating. The sample inside the city runs 20 percent clay against 13 percent across Riverside County, so the ground here is heavier than the county average.
The housing stock
The 1980s put up more homes than any other decade, 12,141 of them, and the median year built is 1985. 11,966 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. 26 percent of the housing here, 6,188 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. 53 percent of owner occupied homes here carry a mortgage, which is usually why a lender or an appraiser is the first to ask about a crack.

What California customers say
Isaac, Jonathan and Manny were our crew and they made our foundation repair, dare I say, fun? They were so communicative, nice, funny, and easy to work with! 10/10 would recommend Dalinghaus and 10/10 would recommend this crew!
We had been having a variety of issues on our property and thought it was time to have a professional out to look. Although our issues were not foundational (thankfully!), Mark was extremely patient with us as we asked lots of questions. We didn't end up using the company but our experience with them was great and I think you would be in the right hands should you need any work done.
They provided design coordination, permitting support, foundation and support installation, and inspection sign-off. We had no issues throughout the process. All aspects were professionally handled and any issues were addressed expeditiously.
