With woodland hills having many raised foundations, you might notice your floors starting to sag, which indicates something going on with your crawlspace.
If you see your retaining wall leaning or bowing, it’s working hard but slowly failing.
With Woodland Hills, CA, having a mixture of flats and slopes, there are unique foundation and hillside issues homeowners need to deal with. The soil is susceptible to expansion and contraction depending on moisture content, temperature, and other climate conditions. If an area is dry, the expansive soils shrink, causing an area of the home to sink, known as foundation settlement.
These conditions require trusted professionals to come and inspect your property and come up with solutions. Dalinghaus Construction offers quality foundation repair solutions in areas of Woodland Hills, CA, and other cities in Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada. We’re here to help keep your residential or commercial property safe.
What is the foundation repair process ?
Hillsides or flats, the foundation repair process in Woodland Hills, CA, is the same as in other cities.
Before any repairs can happen, we need to know the problem first. That’s why we come to your residence for a 60-90 minute foundation evaluation to look at your foundation or retaining wall. A scaled home diagram is made along with floor elevation measurements.
Next, a repair plan is sent to you based on what was found during the initial inspection. You receive a recommended repair plan, a CAD drawing of your property with floor elevation measurements, and a full report.
The final step involves the repairs based on permits and the proposed plan.
How are foundation repair and hillside stabilization done?
There are many variations of foundation repair and underpinnings. Dalinghaus Construction often uses galvanized steel push piers and helical piers.
Push piers are long cylindrical tubes hydraulically driven into the ground until reaching competent soil or bedrock. They are then attached to the brackets bolted onto your concrete footing to prevent further movement.
Helical piers have the same purpose as push piers but are installed a little differently. They also are long cylindrical tubes, except this particular type of pier has helices at the base. They’re installed using a motor to essentially put the pier in like a screw until reaching the recommended PSI or to competent soil.
Helical tiebacks are used to prevent your home and retaining wall from failing due to lateral movement. These can fend off a large amount of lateral movement when installed under your home or in your retaining wall.
After lifting your home or if voids exist in the soil, polyurethane foam is injected into the soil for void fill and soil strengthening. This will be done for slab-on-grade homes.
As for raised foundation, we do crawlspace repair by having someone go into your crawlspace and install crawlspace jacks and/or replace wood such as girder beams.
Can foundation cracks be repaired?
Yes, they can. It can be done in a couple of ways.
Epoxy fits into the cracks and works like an incredibly strong glue, holding everything together.
Carbon fiber stitching will cover the existing crack using tiny pieces of carbon fiber that strengthen the slab and waterproof it. It can also be applied to seawalls and concrete footings.
