Foundation Repair & Slab Leveling in Hanford, CA

Hanford is the county seat of Kings County, west of Visalia on Highway 198. Its downtown and older residential streets hold some of the oldest homes in the region — early-1900s and mid-century houses on raised foundations and crawl spaces, many of which have never had a structural inspection. The same expansive valley clay is under Hanford, and the town's long, hot, dry summers followed by wet winters make soil movement a yearly cycle rather than a one-off event. Hanford's newer subdivisions on the north and east sides are mostly slab-on-grade, where the typical problem is a sinking driveway, patio, or garage slab rather than a settling house.

In Hanford, raised-foundation homes need pier and post checks, moisture and ventilation checks under the house, and levelling when floors start to slope. Slab homes need polyjacking for driveways and walkways, and crack repair where the slab has separated from the stem wall. Either way, an estimate should include a level survey — a contractor who prices a Hanford foundation job without measuring floor elevations is guessing.
