"We had a fantastic experience with Bay Area Underpinning, lifting our foundation four and a half inches of our old 1958 Napa house! After careful review of several contractors, we chose Bay Area Underpinning and so glad we did! The entire process was smooth from the sales engineer estimate to the completion of the job, the communication was outstanding all along from day to day and ourblift was a big job with a full week of labor intensive work. I especially want to thank Foreman Cody Summers, Co-Foreman Ken Hamlin, and Installer Nikolas Klein for their outstanding work and customer service! They are the best and ensured that I was happy with the progress and completely satisfied. I also want to thank Superintendent Kevin Gaeden for his outstanding communication! My wife and I are completely satisfied and happy with the outcome! It was a great choice with great value after the job was complete! We would hire Bay Area Underpinning all over again! Thank you very much for a job well done!"
Common Causes of your Driveway Problems in Alameda
Soil Erosion
Over time, water or wind can erode the soil beneath your driveway, creating empty spaces that lead to sinking or cracking concrete.
Poor Soil Compaction
If the soil under your driveway wasn't compacted properly during installation, it can settle unevenly, causing cracks and dips to form.
Tree Root Growth
Roots from nearby trees may grow under your driveway, pushing against the concrete and causing cracks or lifting as they expand.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles
When water in the soil freezes and thaws repeatedly, it expands and contracts, putting stress on your driveway and leading to cracks or uneven surfaces.
Heavy Loads
Your driveway may crack or settle under the weight of heavy vehicles or equipment, especially if the concrete wasn't designed for such loads.
Drainage Issues
Poor drainage can allow water to pool and seep beneath your driveway, eroding the soil and damaging the concrete over time.
Moisture Changes
When saturated, clay soil expands, and when dry, it contracts. These constant changes in moisture levels weaken the support beneath the concrete.
