Jacumba Hot Springs foundation work is rural-residential scope at 2,800 feet elevation in the far southeast corner of Backcountry near the US-Mexico border. Cabin and ranch foundation work, hot-springs-area substrate considerations, and significant travel distance shape the small call volume.. We account for local conditions in every job.
What soils are most common in San Diego County?
We see expansive clays inland (especially east county and parts of inland north county), decomposed granite over bedrock in the foothills, alluvial fill in valleys and creek beds, and uncompacted urban fill on lots that were graded for development. Coastal terraces are usually stable. Hillside lots are the highest-risk class because of slope creep and drainage.
Will polyurethane lift my whole house?
Polyurethane will lift slabs and pavement effectively up to about 1.5 inches. It is not the right tool for lifting a structural footing carrying full house load; for that we use helical or push piers. Polyurethane shines at filling voids and lifting interior slab sections.
