Foundation Repair in San Francisco: local context

San Francisco has mild temperatures, a wet winter season, steep hills and real seismic exposure; many older homes sit on raised foundations with a ground-level garage.

San Francisco has a mix of slabs, crawl spaces and basements, so foundation repair here ranges from piers and crawl space supports to basement wall stabilization and drainage work.

Local factors that come up in San Francisco include seismic risk, where some older raised-foundation homes are candidates for seismic retrofits. For significant cracking or movement, many homeowners get an independent evaluation from a licensed structural engineer before choosing a repair contract. This directory does not evaluate structures.

Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with California licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • What is causing the movement, and how did you determine that?
  • Which repair method do you recommend, and why that one?
  • Will a structural engineer review the plan?
  • Is the warranty transferable, and what does it cover?
  • Who pulls permits?
