Foundation repair, concrete repair and crawl space repair in Pasadena, CA

Mapped soil inside Pasadena is recorded as disturbed urban ground, so the soil series comes from the wider survey. 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. For swelling and shrinking, the city sample is the more specific reading. Inside the Pasadena city limits it gives a weighted linear extensibility of 0.1 percent, which USDA reads as low shrink swell potential. Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the Pasadena weather station, precipitation averages 20.1 inches a year, so the soil beside a wall can be wet in one season and dry in another. What is actually happening at your address is something we confirm on site, not something we read off a map.

The typical house dates to 1960, and the single biggest block of the stock, 17,963 homes, went up before 1940. The 45,383 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 48 percent of the housing here, 26,908 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 68 percent of the owner occupied homes in Pasadena. Every evaluation ends with a written estimate that describes what we found at that house.
