We've earned 53 five star reviews.

"Getting piers put under your house and having it lifted is a very daunting preposition. We need to pull the trigger to try and correct some settling and also prep for future work. Luckily the team that Groundworks sent over (David, Russell, & Enrique) really made the experience as painless as possible. The entire team was super friendly the entire week they were on site, even working through some pretty gnarly weather. David did a fantastic job explain the entire process and answer any questions I had, even some of the hypothetical ones about different scenarios. During the lift they did a great job in making sure there was little stress on the house as possible, this was key for us since we had just done a bathroom and kitchen remodel not that long ago."

Types of Foundation Damage in San Mateo

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in San Mateo

Soil Settlement

Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.

Moisture Changes

Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.

Tree Roots

Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.

Temperature Changes

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
