Waterproofing is the process of ensuring that an object or structure is made waterproof or water-resistant, thereby preventing water from penetrating or affecting it under specific conditions.

Our expertise includes:

• Waterproofing basements.
• Waterproofing ADUs and garages.
• Waterproofing for residential, commercial, and HOA properties.
• Waterproofing hillside properties.
• Negative side waterproofing.

We specialize in safeguarding structures against water intrusion, tailored to meet the unique needs of each property type and environment.

Our process focuses on efficiently collecting and diverting water away from the house perimeter or crawl space, aiming to prevent water intrusion that can lead to structural damage.

Our drainage solutions effectively address the following issues:

• Standing water in yards.
• Standing water on concrete walkways.
• Water intrusion into crawlspaces.
• Water intrusion into homes, ADUs, garages, and properties in residential and commercial settings.

By implementing these solutions, we ensure effective water management and protection against potential structural harm caused by water infiltration.

Concrete walkways offer several benefits, including enhancing curb appeal, providing a non-slip surface, and being a cost-effective alternative to materials like natural stone or pavers. Moreover, concrete is highly durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions, preventing direct soil saturation.

Our approach combines the installation of concrete walkways with a comprehensive drainage system. This dual solution effectively prevents water intrusion into any structure. By integrating durable concrete pathways with efficient drainage, we ensure long-lasting protection and functionality for high-traffic areas and beyond.

 Sump pits are primarily utilized in flat properties that lack natural or sufficient slope towards the street. Their purpose is to manage excess water by collecting it into the pit and using a pump to redirect the water to a safe location where it can drain effectively without posing any risk of structural damage. This system effectively ensures that water accumulation does not compromise the integrity of the property, particularly in areas prone to flooding or insufficient drainage gradients. 

 Earthquake retrofitting involves adding structural enhancements to existing buildings to improve their resistance to sliding off their foundations during seismic activity. This process typically includes installing additional hardware and reinforcement measures to ensure the building can withstand the lateral forces exerted by an earthquake. By bolstering the structure in this way, earthquake retrofitting aims to enhance the overall safety and stability of the building during seismic events. 

 Underpinning involves repairing, strengthening, or increasing the depth of an existing foundation by lowering the footing to rest on more stable or supportive soil layers beneath the original foundation. This method is employed to stabilize and reinforce foundations that may have settled, shifted, or are otherwise insufficient to support the structure adequately. Underpinning is crucial for ensuring the long-term structural integrity and safety of buildings, particularly in cases where the existing foundation has become compromised or unstable. 

This process involves lifting and leveling a settled section of a home to eliminate slanted, bowed, or uneven floors. House leveling is performed by using specialized equipment and techniques to raise the foundation back to its original position and ensure that the floors are level and stable. This repair is essential for correcting structural issues caused by foundation settlement, preventing further damage, and restoring the integrity of the building. 

 We utilize a specialized process to repair foundation cracks, employing heavy-duty metal straps and our proprietary mortar mix formula. This method effectively extends the foundation's lifespan by reinforcing and sealing cracks, preventing further deterioration and ensuring long-term structural integrity. 

 "We specialize in installing new support throughout the crawl space to address issues such as sticking doors, sloping floors, and drywall cracks. This involves strategically placing additional supports or reinforcements to stabilize the foundation and correct structural issues caused by settling or inadequate support. By enhancing the structural integrity of the crawl space, we ensure a stable foundation and mitigate further damage to the home." 

 Concrete slab replacement entails completely removing a severely deteriorated concrete slab, including its full depth and width, and replacing it with new materials that comply with current building codes. This process ensures that the new slab meets modern standards for durability and structural integrity, effectively addressing any safety concerns and improving the longevity of the surface. 

 In cases of severe foundation damage where repair is not feasible, foundation replacement becomes necessary. This process involves excavating around the existing foundation of the house, removing it completely, and then replacing it with a new, durable foundation. Foundation replacement ensures that the structural integrity of the house is restored, addressing underlying issues that may compromise the stability and safety of the building. 

 Retaining walls serve as an effective solution for managing soil on sloped lots or hillside properties. They act as barriers that prevent soil from shifting or sliding downhill, particularly in areas prone to heavy rain or lacking vegetation that would otherwise stabilize the soil. By providing structural support, retaining walls help maintain the integrity of the land, prevent erosion, and enhance the stability of the property overall.
