Encino is home ground for us: our office sits on Ventura Boulevard, so an Encino inspection is a short drive rather than a scheduled trip across the county. The neighborhood splits into two very different kinds of property. South of the boulevard, homes climb into the hills, where sloped lots put lateral pressure on foundations and drainage has to be handled deliberately. North of it, flatter Valley lots carry a large share of homes built in the decades before modern seismic anchoring was standard. Both kinds arrive at the same question sooner or later: is the foundation still doing its job?
Foundation trouble in Encino tends to announce itself quietly first. The signs our inspectors are asked about most often:
Every foundation service we offer across Los Angeles is available in Encino, and most of our Encino work falls into one of these:
Bolting the wood framing to the concrete foundation and bracing cripple walls, so the house stays on its foundation when the ground moves.
Stabilizing a settled or shifting foundation by extending its depth or width to reach soil that will hold.
Addressing cracked, heaved or sinking slab foundations, from targeted repair to full replacement.
Bringing sagging floors and out-of-square door frames back to level, and correcting the cause underneath.
Directing water away from the foundation and sealing what needs sealing, which on hillside lots is often the whole story.
Holding back the slope on properties where the hillside is part of the lot.
The same four steps on every job, from the first look to the finished repair.
A thorough inspection to identify foundation issues and what they need.
An onsite consultation with our team for a personalized assessment.
A detailed plan of the recommended solutions and their costs, for your approval.
Once approved, our team completes the repairs promptly.

Often, yes. Sloped lots add lateral soil pressure and concentrate water flow, so the inspection pays particular attention to drainage and to how the foundation is supported on the downhill side.
Yes. The inspection and the written assessment cost nothing, and there is no obligation to proceed.
