Imperial Beach foundation work centers on 1950s-70s beach cottage and bungalow stock along Seacoast Drive and the residential blocks east to 13th Street, plus 1970s-80s small-lot tract infill. Salt-rotted mudsills, cripple wall retrofit, and Tijuana River Valley-influenced drainage concerns drive most calls.. Coastal house leveling is most often done on raised post-and-pier homes from the 1920s through 1960s, where decades of moisture and hardware corrosion have dropped one or more posts.

Depends on age, finishes, and how long the settlement took. A house that dropped quickly (plumbing leak, recent fill failure) can usually be brought back close to original. A house that settled slowly over 30 years has redistributed all its loads, refit all its drywall, and reset its window frames at the new elevation. Lifting it can do more cosmetic damage than the original settlement. We give you a lift target that balances correction with risk.

We use synchronized hydraulic jacks tied to a single pump manifold so each jack moves the same distance per stroke. We measure elevation at each jack point between every 1/4-inch lift and adjust to keep the structure flat-plane. Every lift gets a written log of incremental measurements.
