8:17 am

the following advertisement is paid for by groundworks bay area underpinning. your foundation is one of the biggest parts of your home. it's what's holding everything up. it's your biggest investment, for most people, is the home. especially in california. our homes are expensive, and so you wanna make sure that you take care of those things. and what happens with structural foundation issues is if you ignore it and you leave it, it will only get worse with time, and it'll only get more expensive. so bay area underpinning has been in business since 2003. we've been helping our local homeowners with foundation repairs issues, structural issues.
8:57 am
we've been helping them with crawl-space issues repairs. we do concrete lifting and leveling, and we dabble in commercial as well. i always recommend every year to at least do that inspection. do a full inspection of the house and go looking for those signs and symptoms. so you notice a crack one year, you go back the next year, and it looks exactly the same to you. okay, well, that's not necessarily a red flag and, oh, my god, panic. but you should be paying attention to it. so if it gets worse over time, that's another idea in terms of call somebody, get some peace of mind, get someone come out, do an inspection for you. and a lot of the times, it doesn't mean that there is a structural issue, but get a professional look at it. signs and symptoms are something that definitely we want to educate the public about. you know, spring cleaning, spring maintenance, things that we do along those lines is do a full inspection of your house. do a walkaround. go looking for grade. is the grade slipping away from your house? right? we don't want water pooling near the foundation
8:58 am
because that's one of the major things that's causing structural issues. eaves drops, your downspouts, make sure they're cleaned out. make sure the connections where they meet at the bottom, a lot of times they're separated, and that allowed the water dump right into the edge of the corner of the foundation. which is also a problem. so you don't want that either. look for cracks. look for signs and symptoms on the stucco or the brick, whatever that happens to be. the façade on the side of the house, look for step cracking. look for things like that. those are warning signs that something's potentially going on for sure on the outside of the house. look for cracks in your concrete, on your sidewalk. as water is getting underneath it, it's washing the soils away, and that's what's causing a void which allows concrete to crack and have a problem. so just go around the house looking for signs of damage. pest control stuff. again, our homes being our largest investments. if you're walking through your house and you've noticed some things on the outside of the house. and now you're seeing cracks on the doorways. the windows aren't functioning properly. doors aren't shutting and closing the way they used to.
8:59 am
you're seeing unlevel floors. maybe your trim is separating a little bit. you're seeing a space between the floor and the baseboards. and so you start worrying or you start having concerns. all you have to do is go to bayareaunderpinning.com. set up a free estimate. our guys will come out and explain the whole process to you. and it's very simple, straightforward. we have financing options. there's really no pressure from that perspective. and, yeah, we have the solutions to fix the house. we pull permits and we work with the cities and counties for everything that we do. and so we have to wait, obviously, for the permits to be issued and given back to us before we can start the work. but our crews are always ready to go. we don't charge any money for inspections. our guys will come out and have a look at it and really do a full inspection. and so their inspections do take some time. they'll go through. they'll use their ziplevel just to get elevations to make sure that the house is leveled and really just sort of talk through that process. at the end of the day, as long as we have a solution that's going to address
9:00 am
what the why is behind what the customer is asking us for and the problems that we're seeing, then we'll go ahead and give them a quote and we can go from there. one of the things we pride ourselves on is giving the honest evaluation of what's actually going on and being transparent with what we're finding in the home. and i love the google reviews or the yelp reviews that we get when the customer isn't actually moving forward with work. but they're giving us a good review because they have peace of mind that we told them, "hey, don't panic. don't worry. it's okay. let's monitor this. we'll come back and look at it again in a year from now and potentially move forward if we need to." to me, at the end of the day, it's the way we take care of the community and we really care. we take care of our people. we take care of the people that we work with, the homeowners. everybody that we touch is important to us to make sure that they have a really good experience to get the peace of mind. so for more information for bay area underpinning, just go to our website, bayareanderpinning.com. it has everything about signs and symptoms.
