Featured Job Friday: Foundation Stabilization by Bay Area Underpinning

Bay Area Underpinning Foundation Repair Contractor in the Bay Area, CA completes foundation stabilization project.

It’s Featured Job Friday once more, and this week we feature one of our Core Installers from the Bay Area of California. Bay Area Underpinning has long exemplified the best of the best when it comes to foundation repair. They know their business and the Bay Area so well that they can handle any residential or commercial job that might arise. This week’s featured job about foundation stabilization is just such a story.

Foundation Stabilization and Regaining Elevation with Steel Piers

Bay Area Underpinning used ECP Steel Piers to raise a residence in the Bay Area. Their engineer determined that the structure weighed a bit less than 1,000 lbs per lineal foot at the perimeter. They then determined the number of piers needed for the job and where to place them. The type of pier chosen allowed easy installation that only required a small, hand-dug excavation, which meant minimal disturbance for the homeowners. Forty-three piers were installed with a depth of bearing of 45 to 70 feet. They were able to recover an elevation of about 4-5 inches. This job will provide long-lasting structural support for the homeowners. Job well done, Bay Area Underpinning!
