Half the housing predates 1956, and the 1950s were the busiest building years at 11,047 homes. A median home value of $707,700 and a median household income of $89,686 is what the American Community Survey records. 15,599 of those homes are lived in by their owners and 11,890 are rented.

What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Whittier
Bowing Walls
The USDA survey under Whittier reads clay and rates its shrink swell potential very high. Soil that changes volume against a wall through the year is the driver behind most of what we are called out to look at.
What this looks likeStucco Cracking
The pre 1980 stock in Whittier runs to 25,617 homes, which is where we most often find drainage that was never engineered.
What this looks likeRaised Foundation Settlement
The typical Whittier house dates to 1956, old enough that the ground under it has been through every wet spring and dry summer since.

Why foundations move in Whittier
The soil this town is built on
Soil mapping within Whittier returns Zaca across about 40 percent of the survey. Broken down by texture it is 40 percent clay. Weighted linear extensibility runs 9.4 percent, which is the figure USDA turns into a very high shrink swell rating. Clay content is 40 percent inside the city and 14 percent countywide.
The age of the housing
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 1950s, 11,047 homes, around a median build year of 1956. The 25,617 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 23 percent of the housing here, 6,233 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. 73 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
Brian came out for a free consultation to see if our house had foundation issues. We were getting some cracking in our drywall and wanted to know if it was a settlement issue. Brian measured the various elevations in our house, both inside and outside. He also went down in the crawlspace to observe the foundation. He determined our house did not have a major settling issue. He was knowledgeable about expansive soil and we were able to pick his brain about the kind of soil our house was built on. He talked through potential soil strengthening solutions with us, but didn’t recommend any major work be done at the moment. This company has serious integrity- they come out for free, and then determine they are not needed for further work. I will be recommending them to friends who may have foundation issues!!
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!
A property I manage had some minor cement work needed to be done. The crew, Dillon & Lance were working on the property. They were quick, efficient, and went above and beyond on the job. The whole process was smooth and easy from getting an estimate to scheduling work and on time. Would recommend highly.
