Get matched with top foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation pros in Benicia, CA

"Within a few months of buying our first home, we noticed some troubling signs: bedroom doors swinging open or closed on their own, “bubbles” and creaks in sections of the newly renovated floors, and significant cracks splitting the concrete in our garage. Although two general inspectors assured us that our house was level, we reached out to Bay Area Underpinning (BAU) for a more detailed assessment—and we're so glad we did! Inspector Christopher Murray conducted a meticulous inspection with radar equipment. While technically our house was level, Christopher uncovered that our foundation was sinking by inches in multiple areas, explaining the issues we were experiencing. Though the news and associated repair cost were a bit daunting as new homeowners, Christopher’s knowledge, professionalism, and clear answers to all our questions reassured us that we were in good hands. With confidence, we decided to proceed with BAU for the repair. Fredy Mora and his crew did exceptional work with the demo of the old concrete slabs and the prep for lifting, working quickly and efficiently. Fredy’s positive attitude made the process smooth, and his team was thorough and dedicated from start to finish. A special thank you to our lift project manager, Kevin Gaeden. Kevin was an outstanding communicator, keeping us fully informed and addressing every question promptly. His attentiveness made a huge difference throughout the project, and we felt reassured every step of the way. Esteban Ibarra, a crewmember on the lift team, also did superb work, handling the hands-on details with skill and care. Both Kevin and Esteban even went above and beyond, taking time to fix a jammed bedroom door that had shifted with the house lift. While foundation issues are never easy, we couldn’t have asked for a better team. We’re incredibly grateful to Bay Area Underpinning for their expertise, professionalism, and exceptional service. Thank you, BAU!"

"Project kickoff began with an evaluation and a quote from a Ned Clyde engineer. After accepting the offer, we waited for 3 months to begin work due to high demand for their services. Project work spanned about four weeks, with some downtime due to weather. Aside from the main work of returning the floor and walls to original positions, the french drain along the foundation was remade with modern material. This work required a permit from the city of Martinez that required adding an earthquake shutoff valve for the natural gas service and a check for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors matching current codes. The cost of these upgrades were outside of the feeds paid to Ned Clyde, but they are sensible requirements that would have been done eventually anyway. Overall, the Ned Clyde folks are experts who did exactly what they promised with no required feedback. Costs were in line with other quotes, but I got the sense that I got a great bargain in value provided."

"<p>It was excellent. I have already referred them to a neighbor who is having a huge garage done. I  looked at, I'll bet, six companies. I have a redwood expansion joint and they were the only ones who could take  that out. They have a special epoxy they used in the hole to fill the expansion joint. Then they came out and finished the permanent epoxy. Their pricing is good and their responsiveness was fantastic. The lead installer has put in about 500 of these and he had an assistant with him that was training. These people were above board and call you back. They are polite and are ladies and gentlemen. They have a good product. His truck was immaculate. Everything was neat and he had a place for everything. </p>"

"25 years at this house and in wet winters we would have a damp smell coming up from the crawlspace. Rats were out of control too. We had sump pumps all around the house. Always cleaning or replacing or re-setting GFI outlets. I did it all myself. Finally I called his company to replace some sump pumps. Estimator came out and said they don't do that. They encapsulate the crawlspace. I said what about the pumps? He said it won't matter any more. I went for it. <br /> They just left and couldn't wait to get underneath and look. I am very pleased with the workmanship. If you look at the photos (hey angie can I post photos?), they fastened this 20mil reinforced plastic sheeting to the sides of the foundation using rivets. Not a bit of dirt or debris to be seen. The crew was very professional. Very polite, lots of drop clothes to protect the floors. Their workmanship was very good. If they were my crew, I would be very pleased. <br /> Just a word of caution - not a deal breaker but...the first day required a lot of dirt work. Invariably the house became dusty. I would have put painters tarp over couches and other soft surfaces. Second, don't be surprised to have some smell of epoxy - the material they use to glue the sheets together. It goes away in a day. It's part of the install which makes me happy they use it. So far I'm very happy with the job. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Adrian was always easy to communicate with and work with throughout the project and provided terrific on-site oversight. The job was done on time and on budget and, as much as possible for a large project, the job site was kept neat. Based on my experience with Adrian, my family members have since used Mulhall Construction for foundation work on their homes and been pleased with the results, as well. I enthusiastically recommend Mulhall Construction!"

"They were very accommodating. It was something that had rusted and they were very accommodating on helping me to resolve that problem. There was a cost. It was a very minor problem."

"After meeting with several contractors for our master bath upgrade, we chose Benjamin based on his interpersonal skills, creative ideas, track record, experience and overall knowledge and capabilities. <br />   After a full demo and upgrade by Benjamin, our expectations continue to be exceeded.  Benjamin is an artist and a perfectionist in every aspect of his work.  He is a person with a high degree of personal integrity and will do whatever it takes to ensure that his customers are happy. <br />   We would absolutely recommend Benjamin to anyone needing new construction, upgrades or conversions.  His high energy level, pleasant personality and respectful demeanor is second to none.  We are looking forward to hiring Benjamin again for future projects in our home. <br />   From detailed estimate to on-time completion the experience was a pleasure! <br />"

"Very pleased with Bill and his crew. He always kept us informed of the schedule and the progress of the work. Quality was excellent and I would certainly hire him again. <br />"

"The supply hose from the toilet downstairs broke and came up loose and was spraying water in the house all day. So, when we came to the house, there was water in the entire apartment. They came right away, sucked all the water out and then brought in all these machines, the humidifiers and blowers. They ran for about 4 days and the apartment was like being in Arizona. It was hot and dry. We moved upstairs, we couldn't stay down there because it was 90 degrees and no humidity. But, we haven't had any problems with mold so it worked. They didn't have to do any construction, whereas, my girlfriend's sister had a flood in her apartment and she didn't do this, so they had to replace half the sheet-rock, when they could have just soaked it up like a sponge. It was covered by insurance and they gave us all the paperwork."
