That was an unacceptable waste of my time. On top of what I was already paying for the plans, I was hit with additional fees that I was not expecting. Then I was quoted $440,000 for a 400-square-foot addition, which was completely unreasonable in my opinion. The entire process was frustrating, expensive, and unnecessarily drawn out. I had to keep messaging them and emailing them to see where we were at in the process. I feel like my time and money were completely wasted. Do your research, get multiple quotes, and be very careful before giving this company your money. I would not recommend them based on my experience.

J&C also pointed out several cracks in the foundation that I had them repair as an "extra" outside of the brace and bolt contract. I would recommend this contractor.

The house definitely needs some work, but he made it clear that there are solutions and gave me a much better understanding of what the repairs would involve. He also pointed out the good things about the property, which I really appreciated because it wasn't just focused on the negatives. I feel much more confident moving forward with the purchase now that I know what I'm getting into, what can be fixed, and roughly what the repairs may cost. Very grateful for how thorough and helpful he was.

Having just hired Eldar and his team on a 3-week project, I absolutely recommend The Foundation &…read moreDrainage Repair without reservation. This was the best experience I've ever had working with a contractor, and I've worked with some really excellent ones both in LA and the Bay Area, as well as some true scumbags who amounted to fraudsters (hence my anxiety surrounding this project and my meticulous due diligence). Eldar is honest, experienced, and so very kind. He knows what he's talking about, he explains the issues thoroughly, his solutions are logical, and his prices are reasonable. Women, especially, take note: he won't talk down to you, and he won't bullsh*t you or waste your time. He stays positive and friendly, even when new challenges like huge, invasive roots up against and under the foundation reveal themselves as the project progresses. He communicates clearly, sets realistic expectations, and provides comprehensive progress updates at the beginning and end of each day, and sometimes more if urgent matters come up. He listens to clients' needs and expectations, and is very good at working with anxious customers. His team is professional, punctual, super friendly, and incredibly hardworking. They went above and beyond every single day, kept the worksite clean and tidy, and ultimately left my yard much cleaner than it was when they started. So, to sum up my experience: These guys are fantastic. Don't wait. Don't hesitate. You'll be in great hands. Now, if you want all the dirty details of my cracked slab and water intrusion saga: I had several different foundation/structural companies come out (yes, even the usual suspects in sponsored search results) and look at my foundation over the past few years, and I got vastly different suggestions on what I should do to solve my problem, with a range of very high prices. I was overwhelmed because none of the solutions seemed right to me, and I was worried some would actually end up causing other problems down the road because they went overboard on foundation support, but didn't address drainage. After my first meeting with Eldar, it was clear to me his solution would be the most effective for my problem, which was 99% caused by a lack of drainage around my property. The rest of the problem was caused by a very shallow free-pour foundation on one side of the house (1950s construction), which Eldar and his team uncovered during the excavation process, and supported by making some very solid, high-quality footing extensions, which they waterproofed. Expansive clay soil and a slope behind my house also factored in. I had so much anxiety about hiring a contractor who would take the wrong approach along with all my money that I basically sat on this problem for four years. Bad idea, I know. I'll spare you the details of my insanity every time it rained, but let's just say lots of stress, dozens of shop towels and multiple Quick Dam flood barriers were involved. I was seriously losing my mind with every new crack in my slab and walls. Now that Eldar and his team are done installing deep french drains, waterproofing, footing extensions and a sump pump, I feel such a sense of relief. I'm confident that I'm going to survive this year's anticipated El Niño storms while maintaining my sanity, and I feel so lucky I found The Foundation & Drainage Repair when I did. I'll update and post videos of my beautiful new sump pump in action when the rains come.

After the work was completed the leveling showed little improvement and they told us the contract "wasn't specific enough." Four years later three different foundation companies inspected the house and found multiple areas where the previous repairs are failing and large visible sections (including the entire front of the house) were never brought up to code or properly retrofitted. I contacted Ozzy and was initially told Darin would cover the corrective work (there are text messages confirming this), but the company then stopped returning calls and messages. Darin (the owner) has not returned my calls. I have inspection reports, photos of the deteriorated repairs, and our text messages documenting their agreement. Their advertised 10-year warranty proved meaningless in practice. Bottom line: poor workmanship, broken promises, and no aftercare. I cannot recommend them.

While other companies offer free estimates, Seismic Safety charges $175. This is worth it since their final quote was the most reasonable. The estimator was a super nice guy who actually went into my crawl space to take photos. The others provided me with higher quotes without even bothering to check under my house. I found all the personnel I dealt with at Seismic Safety to be professional and polite. They walked me through the EBB process. It took months to get it done but, it was worth it. The reason I am giving them a 4-star rating is due to their communication. The office personnel are super nice; especially Karin. The problem is, as others have noted, that it took me several times to get a response from them; especially the office manager. Emails sent were not responded in a timely manner. It would take me sending another email reminding them to respond to the original one. In light of our current COVID -19 situation, this is unacceptable. I am a school principal and I have my office manager respond via phone or email within 24 hours to hundreds of daily emails and/or calls we receive from parents, students and staff. It can be done..... All in all, they provided me with quality service at a reasonable price. My only suggestion is that they improve their email communication.
