Foundation repair, concrete repair and crawl space repair in Santa Ana, CA

The USDA soil survey inside Santa Ana comes back Chino at about 60 percent of the survey, with Mocho and Hueneme alongside it. By texture that survey runs 60 percent clay and 20 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 3.56 percent, a moderate shrink swell rating. The sample inside the city runs 60 percent clay against 42 percent across Orange County, so the ground here is heavier than the county average. 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 1967, and the single biggest block of the stock, 17,794 homes, went up in the 1970s. 62,513 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. 33 percent of the housing here, 25,209 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 Santa Ana. Every evaluation ends with a written estimate that describes what we found at that house.

All of them. Riverview West, South Coast Metro, Artesia Pilar, Mabury Park, Madison Park and New Horizons are all inside the city limits, and every address inside those limits is worked by the same crew on the same terms.
