GeoForensics, Inc.

The soils in the San Francisco Bay Area are highly susceptible to:

• movement
• instability

As the ground moves, so too do the structures supported by these soils. 

As the foundations of the buildings move, the movement is often manifested as:

• cracking of the walls (interior and exterior),
  
• sticking problems with doors and windows, and
  
• sloping and cracking of the building floors.
  

Although these movements typically do not threaten the saftey of the structure, the recurring cosmetic damages are of concern to property owners.

We Can Help!

The engineers at GeoForensics, Inc. have been assisting thousands of homeowners and commercial property owners to effectively and efficiently, identify the causes of soil and drainage induced foundation problems for over 25 years.

When evaluating the foundation problems at a property, it is typically possible for our engineers to provide the owner with the cause and potential remedies of foundation problems without conducting a full scale soils report.

This low-cost Preliminary Consultation enables the owner to quickly come to a cost-effective understanding of the problem and then to become an active partner in determining the appropriate repair philosophy that will be best for their property as well as their budget.

Once the client has established the direction that the project repairs will take, GeoForensics will continue to work with the client, providing any necessary soil reports, providing contacts in the engineering and construction fields, reviewing plans for conformance, and then observing and documenting the construction to help get the repairs properly implemented.  

We help you get back to enjoying your property the way it was meant to be!
