Licensed general contractor, CSLB #1110475 (B and C-10). Free on-site consultation and a written scope before you commit.
Foundation Repair for Whittier homes
Whittier has hills to the north and valley land to the south, and the foundation problems differ. Hillside homes deal with slope and water; valley homes more often settle unevenly.
After a visit we recommend the lightest fix that stops the movement: drainage correction, piers, leveling or crack repair. For raised-floor houses we also look at bolting and bracing, because the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake is a reminder of what they are for.
