San Clemente, CA, is highly susceptible to foundation settlement due to its highly expansive soil. As the climate becomes dry and the soil takes in less moisture, they break down and shrink, causing foundation settlement. Conditions like this require a trusted source to make sure your home no longer has to worry about sinking.
For beachfront properties, your seawall must stay maintained. As the waves hit the shore, they erode the soil to make your home part of the underwater city of Rapture. Seawall repair makes it so your property will be safe and maintain its value.
Your home might reside on a slope. When it comes to hilly areas, gravity works with the soil to cause lateral movement and foundation settlement. You might see your retaining wall struggling to do its job. Hillside stabilization will make it so you don’t have to worry about your home moving downhill.
Dalinghaus Construction is trusted to do foundation repair, seawall repair, and hillside stabilization in Southern California so you never have to worry about your property being affected.
What does the foundation repair process look like?
Like any other city we work in, the foundation repair process works with having one of our Project Design Specialists come to your doorstep for a 60-90 minute foundation evaluation. During the inspection, floor elevation measurements are taken as a scaled home diagram is made to properly evaluate the property.
Step two is to create a repair plan. This will be made based on the inspection. You’ll receive a full report of what was found, a CAD drawing of your property, and a recommendation for the repair plan.
The final step consists of finally doing the repair based on the plans and permitting.
What are the most common methods for foundation repair ?
When it comes to San Clemente, CA, you’ll see contractors installing galvanized steel push piers and helical piers to support your home.
Push piers sort of do what’s in the name. These piers are hydraulically driven into the ground until they reach competent soil or bedrock.
Helical piers have helices at the base to be screwed in like a motor. Hillside stabilization is another type of foundation repair that involves reinforcing walls or terraces on steep slopes to prevent landslides or movement due to erosion.
Seawall repair happens for beachfront properties, especially as seawalls become more damaged via cracking or hydrostatic pressure. Carbon Fiber will be applied to cracks so water won’t sneak toward your rebar. And as water builds up in the soil behind your seawall, hydrostatic pressure is applied to your wall. Polyurethane will be put into the soil to void fill and get rid of the water causing hydrostatic pressure.
Finally, helical tiebacks are applied to your retaining wall for hillside stabilization to prevent your soil from moving downhill and affecting your or your neighbor’s home.
How are foundation cracks repaired?
There are a couple of ways to repair foundation cracks.
A special type of glue-like substance known as epoxy is put into the crack to keep everything together.
Carbon fiber stitching uses carbon fiber that is stitched onto a wall or slab to provide additional strength, prevent more cracks, and add waterproofing.
