Foundation Experts in Los Angeles

Foundation Experts Services

The foundation is the most critical structural component of any building, and foundation problems are among the most expensive issues a homeowner can face. CCS Inc. provides expert foundation services including new foundation construction, foundation repair, seismic retrofitting (bolting and bracing), underpinning, and hillside caisson installation. Our structural engineers diagnose foundation issues accurately and design solutions that are effective, code-compliant, and cost-appropriate.

Common foundation problems in Los Angeles include cracked or settling foundations (often due to expansive clay soils), cripple wall failures, inadequate foundation-to-framing connections (a major earthquake vulnerability), and hillside foundation erosion. CCS addresses each of these with proven engineering solutions: epoxy injection for cracks, steel pier underpinning for settlement, cripple wall bracing for seismic safety, and helical piles or caissons for hillside stabilization.

For new construction projects - including ADUs, room additions, and hillside builds - CCS designs and constructs foundations engineered for your specific soil conditions and structural loads. We work with licensed geotechnical engineers to conduct soil testing and develop foundation designs that meet or exceed code requirements. A properly designed foundation prevents costly problems down the road and is essential for any structure built in earthquake-prone Southern California.
