Foundation raising in Anaheim CA - a lift that holds because the cause gets fixed first
Floors that slope or a corner that's sinking? We find out whether your house is still moving, fix the cause, then lift it toward level.
Does a sloping floor mean your Anaheim house needs foundation raising?
Foundation raising in Anaheim lifts a house that has settled back toward level, either on piers driven down to load-bearing soil under a slab or by shimming or replacing the piers under a pier and beam house.
You've probably noticed a floor that slopes, a crack that keeps getting longer or a corner that sits lower than the rest, and you want to know if it's serious. The price moves with whether your house is on a slab or pier and beam, how much of it has to come up, how many piers it takes and what we have to fix underneath, and the schedule turns on that same pier count and any permit the city wants. My estimate gives you a clear price for the work on your house. If it's the driveway that's sunk and cracked rather than the house, that's usually a new pour, and our page on concrete driveway building covers it.

Why homeowners trust AJ Anaheim Concrete Contractors with foundation raising
It starts with one question. Did your house settle years ago and stop, or is it still moving now? Most older houses are a little out of level and work fine, so I look at how the cracks and slopes have changed before anyone talks about lifting, because that answer changes the whole plan.
When we do lift, we lift partway. Pushing every floor dead flat tends to crack plaster, tile and plumbing somewhere else in the house, so we bring it back toward level and stop where the rest of your home is protected. The part I care about most is the soil and the piers you'll never see again.
Questions about raising a house
How much does foundation raising cost in Anaheim?
Leveling a whole house across the US usually costs about $3,500 to $30,000 per job, and that's a national range, not our price. Most houses need far less than the whole footprint lifted, which keeps many jobs toward the lower end. I'll give you a clear price for your house at the estimate.
How long does foundation raising take, and can I stay in my house?
One cost guide puts pier and beam shimming at 1 to 3 days and slab underpinning at 3 to 7 days, depending on how many piers go in. Most owners can stay home through it, though slab work is noisy and means digging around the outside of the house.
What causes a house to keep settling, and why fix it before lifting?
A house that moves with the seasons usually has an active cause, such as poor drainage, expansive clay, a leaking supply line or erosion. Lift it without dealing with that and you've only bought time, so we pair the lift with a fix for whatever's driving it.
How much floor slope is too much in an older house?
A common industry threshold is about 1 inch of sag over 20 feet. Plenty of older houses sit near that and work fine, so what matters more is whether the slope is still growing.
How much can a contractor ask for up front on foundation work in California?
No more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less, under the rules of the Contractors State License Board, which licenses and regulates contractors in California. Every payment after that has to be listed in the contract and tied to work done or materials delivered.
What is the best way to compare foundation raising bids?
One cost guide suggests getting an engineer's report first, then three bids that each name the piers or shim points, the target height and the cosmetic repair afterward. It also says to check what each warranty covers and whether it passes to a buyer. If an engineer has drawn plans, I'll tell you early and we build to them.
