It's important to ensure that the foundation of a house is constructed and maintained properly to guarantee its stability and safety. In earthquake-prone areas like California, poorly positioned homes have frequently collapsed, while those built on Sure Safe Foundations have remained undamaged.

"This team arrived for work in the morning, and was complete by lunch. Outside wall repairs on MidCentury Modern, and full assessment to bring house up to modern seismic codes. Great feedback to close out, plus a solid warranty. These folks specialize in crawl space homes and keeping them solid."

Berkley Construction is a full service construction company. Our projects range from small remodels to new construction in both residential and commecial fields. We also focus on high performance construction including energy efficiency and alternative energy sources. We repair foundations, upgrade electrical systems, test homes performance according to Building Performance Institute standards. We are partners with the California Center for Sustainable Energy and the Upgrade California program. We can help you find the right design partners as well. Do not make the mistake of doing all the design before you include some building professionals in that process. Having a team that includes architects, builders, plumbers, HVAC professionals and electricians will save you time and money. We do the majority of our work with our own people and really feel committed to building structures that will perform at a high level for the next century, not the next 5 years!

"Fantastic!!! I cannot speak highly enough of the guys and gals at Berkley Construction. After dealing with some, we'll say, less than competent construction companies, these guys were a god send. Organized, communicative and so easy to deal with right from the start, they made every step of the process so much easier and more smooth than it could have been otherwise. You should at the very least include them in your bid gathering, as I think they will blow you away with their competence, something that is sadly rare in this field."

Over 30 years in the Commercial and Residential Building and Remodel. License numbers are issued sequentially. Choose an established Licensee with years in business not a Freshly licensed business. probably the most valuable advise when choosing the contractor for your project.

"Brandon was super professional, did everything in less time than expected and his price was super reasonable. I would definitely recommend him."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.

Regular inspections, maintaining proper grading around the foundation, and keeping gutters clear are advisable. Vapor barriers and sealants may need checking for wear after several years.

The purpose of crawl space encapsulation is to prevent mold and moisture from entering your space. If your vapor barrier is properly installed and intact, it will dramatically reduce the chance that your crawl space develops mold. That said, moisture can condense in the area. If you notice excess humidity, you may need to install a dehumidifier to stave off mold and mildew growth.

Yes, slab leaks are fairly common, especially in older homes and places that are prone to earthquakes which can move home foundations.

Most houses will have vents in the crawl space. This allows for air passage and energy retention, which in many ways can help control the temperature inside the home. If you are able to consider the cost of a crawl space encapsulation, you may not need your crawl space vents at all.
