haushepherd worked with a contractor to assist a homeowner in Pleasant Hill, CA who experienced settling of their home and interior distress as a result in the form of sloping floors and cracks throughout the interior. The team assessed the damage and provided recommendations for repair. haushepherd worked closely with the contractor to find a solution and underpinning design that was cost-effective, addressed the needs of the client, and could be constructed in a reasonable timeframe. haushepherd developed a construction plan set and assembled supporting calculations for permitting the project. Support was also provided on-site to ensure proper installation per the plans and specifications.

This foundation stabilization project (underpinning) was designed by haushepherd and constructed by a local foundation repair contractor. We can provide on-site assessments to determine the condition of your home and provide follow-up design services if needed. Included with assessment reports are construction company references with whom you can work with independently or create a project team with haushepherd similar to this recent project in Contra Costa County.
