Common Foundation Problems in Burlingame
Industry Resources & Standards:
- Foundation cracks: Vertical, horizontal, and diagonal cracks in concrete or block foundations. Horizontal cracks are the most serious — they indicate lateral soil pressure and require prompt repair
- Settling and sinking: One section of the home sinks lower than the rest, causing sloping floors and sticking doors and windows
- Bowing walls: Foundation walls pushed inward by expanding clay soil — very common in San Mateo County neighborhoods
- Water intrusion: Water entering through foundation cracks or failed waterproofing due to hydrostatic pressure
- Post-earthquake movement: Cracking or shifting after seismic activity. All Bay Area cities including Burlingame are in Seismic Zone 4
- Pier and beam failures: Rotted wood posts or failed piers common in pre-1970 Burlingame homes with crawl space foundations
Foundation Repair Methods We Use in Burlingame
- Carbon fiber wall straps: Permanently stabilize bowing foundation walls without excavation. Bonded to the wall and anchored to structural members above and below
- Helical piers: Steel screw piers driven into stable soil below the problem zone to permanently lift and support a settling foundation
- Push piers: Hydraulic push piers driven to bedrock to stabilize and lift settled foundations. Best for heavier structures
- Crack injection (epoxy/polyurethane): Structural epoxy for load-bearing cracks; polyurethane foam for active water-leaking cracks
- Interior/exterior waterproofing: Interior perimeter drain + sump pump, or exterior excavation + membrane system to prevent water intrusion
- Mudjacking/slabjacking: Lifting sunken concrete slabs, steps, or driveways by injecting material underneath
