Golden Retrofit & Foundation Repair

Uneven floors, sinking corners, and bouncing floors all point to failing pier and post support systems. Our pier and post support system services are designed to lift and stabilize homes throughout Torrance, whether you have a crawl space, basement, or slab-on-grade. We install both helical piers and pressed concrete piers to reach load-bearing soil deep below unstable ground. This service is ideal for homes built on expansive clay, fill dirt, or areas with poor drainage. Common signs: furnitur...

Cracked, sunken, or crumbling concrete slabs aren’t just unsightly — they’re a safety hazard and can compromise your entire home’s structure. We provide professional slab replacement for residential and light commercial properties in Torrance. Whether it’s a garage slab, patio, or the entire house foundation, our team ensures a flat, durable surface that meets modern codes. You need slab replacement if you see wide cracks (over 1/4 inch), vertical displacement (one side higher than another), wa...

When a foundation starts to settle, crack, or let water into the crawl space, the sooner it is addressed the less it costs. We begin every foundation repair with a thorough inspection of the structure, the soil, and the drainage around your home, then give you a clear, no-pressure explanation of what needs to be done and why. Our crews use proven methods matched to your property's specific problem, whether that means stabilizing a single corner or addressing wider movement. We work with high-qua...

Homes built before modern seismic codes often have foundations that are not bolted to the framing or walls that lack proper bracing. An earthquake retrofit adds plywood sheathing, steel brackets, and epoxy-set anchor bolts to strengthen those connections so the house is far less likely to shift off its foundation during a quake. We inspect your crawl space and cripple walls first, then provide a written estimate and help with grant paperwork if you qualify. Our certified crew works around your d...

A cracked, sunken, or crumbling slab can trip people, pool water, and point to deeper problems underneath. Our slab replacement work covers garage floors, patios, and full house slabs, and we start by evaluating the cause, including soil moisture and any plumbing leaks that may have washed out the base. Old concrete is removed with low-vibration equipment to protect nearby structures, the base is properly compacted, and new reinforced concrete is poured and finished to suit the space. Most jobs...

Crawl spaces take a lot of abuse from moisture, pests, and sagging floor joists, and problems there show up later as bouncy floors and musty air. Our crawl space repair starts with a careful look at the vapor, drainage, and structural condition below your house. We remove debris and damaged wood, reinforce or replace joists and posts as needed, and address the moisture source so the problem does not simply return. Our crews work in tight, confined spaces with safety in mind and leave the area cl...

If your floors slope, doors swing open on their own, or the walls seem to lean, your foundation may have settled unevenly. Foundation leveling uses hydraulic jacks and synchronized lifting to bring the structure back toward level in a controlled way, rather than forcing it quickly. We check the lift with pressure gauges and monitoring as we go, so the adjustment stays steady and the home is not put under extra stress. Leveling is often paired with support work underneath to keep the home from si...

Homes on expansive clay, fill dirt, or poorly drained lots often need support reaching down to firm soil, and that is where a pier and post system comes in. We install helical piers or pressed concrete piers driven to load-bearing strata, which are often 15 to 30 feet below the surface. Each pier is load-tested on site, and new posts are set and the foundation raised back toward level. Once the work is done, we backfill and restore the landscaping around your home. This approach is especially us...

Older homes in Torrance were often built with little or no connection between the foundation and the frame, which leaves them vulnerable in a strong earthquake. Retrofitting adds bracing, sheathing, and anchor bolts that tie the structure together and reduce the chance of movement or damage during shaking. Our team inspects the crawl space and cripple walls, lays out a clear plan with pricing, and handles grant paperwork where it applies. The work is done by certified crew using quality hardware...

When a foundation is too damaged to repair, replacement is the safest long-term choice. We remove and rebuild the failing footings, stem walls, or slab while the house is carefully lifted and supported, and in many cases the home stays occupied for most of the work. Before we start, we assess the structure and soil and design the new foundation to suit the site. We use reinforced concrete, proper vapor barriers, and allow the concrete to cure fully before releasing the lift. We also coordinate p...
