Foundation Repair and Structural Masonry
Foundation issues are common in Palo Alto due to the expansive clay soils found throughout the area. When soil moisture levels change with the seasons, foundations can shift and settle unevenly. This leads to cracks in masonry walls, sticking doors and windows, and structural concerns that need professional attention.
We provide comprehensive foundation repair services including crack sealing, structural reinforcement, and waterproofing. If you notice cracks wider than a quarter inch, doors that won't close properly, or visible settling in your brick or stone work, it's time to call us. Early intervention prevents minor issues from becoming major structural problems.
Our foundation repair and waterproofing services protect your most valuable asset. We use proven techniques and quality materials to stabilize foundations, redirect water away from structures, and restore your home's structural integrity. All work is performed to meet or exceed California building codes and comes with our quality guarantee.
