Studio City climbs from the flats along Ventura Boulevard into the canyons of the Santa Monica Mountains, and the hillside homes are what make foundation work here distinctive. Steep lots, homes supported on posts and piers on the downhill side, and water that arrives all at once when it rains: these are the conditions our crews are used to. On the flatter streets north of the boulevard the work looks more like the rest of the Valley, with older homes that were never bolted down.
For Studio City homeowners, these are the signs worth a call:

The inspection is free, and it either puts your mind at rest or tells you exactly what needs doing.
Yes. It covers the downhill supports, the slope itself and the path water takes across the lot, in addition to the foundation walls. It is still free.
Most of it, yes. Retrofit and reinforcement work is done by hand in the crawl space, which is one reason it suits hillside homes.
Yes. Post-and-pier and stepped foundations are common on Studio City hillsides, and reinforcing them is a regular part of our work.
