"1. Call Center ***** - they took the call after 6:00 PM and were extremely professional. Guy on the phone (sorry I didn't write is name down), was so kind and emailed confirmation immediately.
2. Pre-Visit Confirmation ***** - Email, text and phone calls to confirm the time and prep me for the visit. Incredible. Nobody is doing this right these days and BAU absolutely has it nailed down.
3. Estimator ***** - I wish I could offer more than 5 stars. Joe Le Bel is the most professional tradesman I've met in a long time. Others are good too, but Joe is the gold standard. He sat with me to ask what I was concerned about and what was important to my family. Who does that???? Oh yeah, Joe did. So comforting.
Joe was professional and respectful of our space. Was careful to be conscientious about where he placed his gear, tools and instruments. Super clean going under the house without tracking dirt and debris back into the house. (The inspectors from HomeGuard could definitely take notes on this!)
Then, once Joe finished, he sat down with us and talked us through all the different aspects off his inspection. What an extremely positive interaction.
I would 100% recommend BAU and Joe. Can't get any better than this.
Thanks BAU for a great culture of excellence. Thanks Joe for being such a good human and professional!"
Common Causes of your Driveway Problems in Petaluma
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.
