Working on homes in Berkeley
Much of Berkeley’s housing was built in the early twentieth century, and many of these homes still rest on original foundations, cripple walls, and under-floor supports. Age, moisture, and soil movement can take a toll on those systems over time.
The Hayward Fault runs along the base of the Berkeley hills, so many homeowners ask about seismic retrofitting. Hillside lots also send a lot of water downhill during winter storms, which makes drainage a frequent part of the conversation.
Common concerns for Berkeley homeowners
Older foundations and crawl spaces
Deteriorated piers, posts, and perimeter walls are common in older homes and are evaluated in person before any repair is recommended.
Earthquake preparedness
Cripple-wall bracing, foundation anchoring, and connector hardware can improve how a wood-frame home responds to shaking.
Hillside runoff
French drains, grading corrections, and downspout routing help move water away from foundations on sloped lots.
