Cracked walls, settling, water intrusion, and seismic concerns, all evaluated and fixed by a licensed crew. Written scope. DBI permits handled. Michael Behan on-site through every phase.
San Francisco's mix of bay mud, sandy fill, and hillside lots means almost no two foundation problems look the same. A crack in a Noe Valley Victorian usually traces to a different cause than the same-looking crack in a Sunset bungalow, and patching without understanding the cause is how homeowners end up paying twice.
We start with an on-site assessment, identify what's actually moving, and then write a fixed-price scope to fix it, including any DBI permits, engineered drawings, or soft-story retrofit requirements that come into play. No hourly billing, no open-ended cost-plus.
Michael walks the site with you, photographs visible damage, measures movement, and identifies whether the cause is settling, water, seismic, or something else.
When the repair calls for structural engineering, we coordinate the drawings and stamps. Soft-story retrofits, foundation replacement, and major repairs all start here.
We pull every permit your job needs from San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. We've worked across every district in the city.
Crack repair, foundation pier work, sister walls, anchor bolting, shear-wall reinforcement. Whatever the engineer's drawings call for, executed by our crew.
If water intrusion is part of the problem, we address the source, drainage, grading, or waterproofing, not just the symptom.
We walk the repair with you, pass the city's final inspection, and stand behind the work. You can call us afterward.
Most San Francisco foundation problems trace to one of a few causes: hillside settling, soft fill, expansive bay mud, water intrusion, or seismic damage. We start with on-site diagnosis, get a structural engineer involved if the scope requires it, and write a fixed-price scope before any work starts.
