"I'm a Realtor that had a problem: the house I was selling had a major foundation problem. Usually, this can be death to selling a house. I researched different contractors and companies for my out-of-state seller. Groundworks came out and gave a very detailed estimate, explaining exactly what they would do, how they would fix the problem, and what equipment and technology they would use. The seller agreed this was the right solution, and we moved forward. Groundworks took care of everything, including permitting, making the process easy. Immediately after receiving the permits, Groundworks sent up to Monterey a fantastic team of three - Zachary Hersey, Michael Hersey, and Kai Simpson. All three of these young men were excellent. They worked hard, long hours, communicated clearly and consistently - every day I was sent texts or calls, along with photos of the work that was done. They endeavored to leave the home and yard better than how they found it - I was so impressed. I was able to share the progress each day with my seller. And after the work was done, the structure was stabilized, the problems fixed. Now, I can put the house back on the market, knowing the new buyers have a wonderful home with a great warranty on the foundation work. -- I want to send an extra shout-out to Zachary. He was such a pleasant, easy to talk to young man. He answered all questions, fixed any problems immediately, and honestly I think he'd make an excellent sales-person for this company. Being a single lady, I felt very comfortable around all three of them. Neighbors came out to ask Zachary's opinions on their homes too, and I'll bet he could have signed up another customer or two who would have benefited from what Groundworks offers. If the owners of the company ever asked my opinion of this 3-person crew with Zachary at the lead, I'd say they should do whatever they can to hang onto them - Zachary, Michael, and Kai would have made them proud! I've already recommended Groundworks to other Realtors in my office, and I would have them ask specifically for Zachary's crew if they can!"

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Lakeside

Wondering why your home's foundation might be experiencing issues? The answer often lies in how the local environment interacts with the ground around your property. In areas like Lakeside, shifting soil conditions can create instability. This region can experience seasonal moisture variations that lead to soil expansion and contraction. Such patterns are common in places with clay-rich soil, which absorbs water and swells, then shrinks as it dries. This constant movement beneath your home can cause the foundation to settle unevenly, leading to noticeable problems over time.

These soil dynamics can exert undue stress on your foundation, crawl space or basement walls, contributing to structural issues like cracks, uneven floors, and sticking doors. Homes here often show these signs when the soil's constant movement interrupts the foundational integrity. Water pooling around your home due to inadequate drainage can exacerbate these issues by increasing soil moisture around the foundation, hastening the process. Early detection of these symptoms is crucial as it can help prevent more serious structural damage and potentially costly repairs. By understanding how local soil and weather patterns affect your foundation, you can better anticipate and address any potential problems before they escalate.

FAQs

The cost to lift and level a patio or porch slab can vary depending on the size and condition of the slab, as well as the specific techniques and materials used. Generally, prices can range from $500 to $3,000. It is best to consult with a professional service provider for an accurate quote based on your specific situation.

While DIY concrete lifting with spray foam kits can be cost-effective, it's not always as safe or reliable as professional services. Improper use can lead to uneven lifting, further damage, or even injury. For best results and safety, it's recommended to hire experienced professionals who use industry-standard materials and techniques.

Yes, tree roots can exert pressure on concrete structures, causing them to crack or even become uneven and sink over time. To prevent this, it's important to manage tree growth near concrete surfaces and consult with an arborist or concrete specialist if you notice changes in your concrete.

Yes, older homes or those with certain types of slabs, such as those that were constructed with materials not suited to the local soil conditions, may be more at risk for concrete issues in Lakeside. Factors like soil erosion, seismic activity, and varying weather conditions in the area can also contribute to the risk.

Poor drainage can lead to water pooling, which may erode the soil supporting the concrete and cause it to sink or crack over time. To protect your concrete surfaces, ensure that there is adequate drainage to direct water away from walkways and driveways.
