Foundation Repair That Restores Strength, Stability, and Safety

Foundation Repair That Restores Strength, Stability, and Safety

Your building’s foundation is its most important structural element — and when it’s compromised, everything above it is at risk. At Alcala Architecture, we provide expert foundation repair services backed by decades of architectural and construction experience. Whether your property has developed cracks, shifted due to soil movement, or sustained damage from water or seismic activity, our team offers full-service solutions that restore confidence in your structure.

We serve residential, commercial, and light industrial properties across Southern California with licensed, code-compliant foundation evaluations, design solutions, and repair execution.

Full-Service Foundation Assessment and Repair

Our foundation repair process begins with a thorough evaluation. As licensed architects and contractors, we go beyond surface-level symptoms to understand the full extent of structural movement or failure. Then we develop a custom repair plan that addresses the root cause and brings your property back into safe, stable condition.

  • On-site foundation inspection and documentation
  • Structural analysis and architectural assessment
  • Cracking, settlement, and heaving evaluations
  • Foundation replacement or partial rebuild
  • Seismic retrofitting for earthquake resilience
  • Drainage and waterproofing improvements
  • Reinforcement with piers, footings, or grade beams
  • Coordination with engineers and permitting authorities

We ensure all repairs meet California building codes and are designed for long-term performance.

Signs You May Need Foundation Repair

Foundation issues are not always obvious — but they can become serious quickly. If you’ve noticed any of the following, it may be time for a professional evaluation:

  • Cracks in walls, ceilings, or floors
  • Doors or windows that stick or won’t close
  • Uneven floors or noticeable slopes
  • Gaps between walls and ceilings
  • Water intrusion near the base of your structure
  • Exterior foundation cracks or spalling
  • Visible separation between exterior walls and rooflines
  • Previous signs of movement that were never addressed

Catching these issues early can reduce repair costs and prevent further structural damage.

Seismic Retrofitting and Code Upgrades

Southern California is an earthquake-prone region, and many older buildings are not up to current seismic safety standards. Alcala Architecture provides seismic assessments and retrofitting services to reinforce your foundation and protect your property from future ground movement.

  • Structural anchoring and bolting
  • Shear wall integration
  • Cripple wall bracing
  • Load path upgrades
  • Retrofit plan development and engineering coordination
  • Permit submittal and construction

We help property owners bring their buildings into compliance and reduce risk through responsible, engineered retrofits.
