Our Foundation Repair Process — Step by Step
IronNest Construction — CSLB #1130134. Licensed general contractor serving San Francisco, the Bay Area, and Sacramento.
How We Handle Every Foundation Repair Project
Every project follows the same structured process — no shortcuts, no surprises, and a clear point of contact throughout.
Inspection & Assessment
We inspect the foundation, crawl space, and structure above. We identify what's settling, what's cracked, and what's at seismic risk — and what isn't.
Engineering
We work with licensed structural engineers for pier design, shear wall schedules, and any structural modification.
Permits & Plan Check
Foundation repair typically requires permits. We manage the submittal and respond to all plan check comments.
Repair & Retrofit
Underpinning, sheathing, anchor bolts, or crack repair — executed to the engineered plans and inspected by the jurisdiction.
Drainage & Waterproofing
On crawl space projects, we address the moisture environment: vapor barrier, grading, and perimeter drainage if needed.
