My husband and I were concerned about our home's foundation, based on some wall cracks and a slight slope to our floor. We had Collin from Foundation Solutions come out to do an inspection. He was very thorough and knowledgable. He explained our issues in a way that was easy to understand, and came up with a detailed plan for how we could address our foundation (not a cheap estimate, but sounded very effective). Based on his assessment, we've decided to hold off on scheduling the repair work because our foundation problems are quite minor. We really appreciated his honesty and integrity in that he reassured us the issues weren't anything dire, when he easily could have scared us into signing up for work that we don't really need. We also appreciated his time and attention to detail. If we do decide to move forward with the project someday, we will definitely hire Foundation Solutions to do the job. read more

The crew was professional, conscientious, courteous, and respectful. Despite considerable challenges, they produced awesome results with a lot of experience and HARD WORK! read more

We had some shifting and sticking doors on one side of our house and requested an evaluation of our foundation. Jason, Brett, Kyle and Colin from Foundation Solutions did a terrific job of evaluating the problem, making measurements, getting the permit, and making the repair. We ended up having several piers placed and they repaired the exterior of the house and yard so that you can't even tell we had work done. They were excellent communicators, reliable and professional. Highly recommend! read more

This is a long overdue review for Foundation Solutions. I first called them in 2021, concerned about some cracks I saw in the drywall and foundation. They had been recommended by several neighbors. Kyle came out did a thorough evaluation and offered me several options, including just wait and watch. It was totally low pressure and very reassuring. I wound up having them do some crack repairs of the foundation. I had some concerns afterward so had them back out and they addressed my concerns immediately and without any additional charge, even repairing an additional hairline crack they discovered for free. They also listened to my concerns about squeaky wood floors and installed a few extra supports for a reasonable price and spent the time to adjust them so that I haven't had any squeaks since then! Kyle has been awesome and very responsive to follow up questions. I even had him out recently to recheck everything and was happy to learn it's all still stable after 3 yrs. I'm very satisfied with Foundation Solutions' work. read more

Spoke with their lead coordinator for a foundation repair quote a month ago. The coordinator requested photos and gave me the option to stay on the line or get a callback. I chose to get a callback as I didn't want to keep her on the phone while I gathered the pictures to send. I emailed within 30 minutes, but never got a callback or response to my email. I left a voicemail and can't get ahold of anyone by phone. I haven't heard back and it's been a month. Truly unprofessional and dissapointing. read more

We had major foundation issues with our home in Willow Glen neighborhood of San Jose due to soil settling over a 70 year period. We engaged 3 companies to determine what we should do to fix it. Foundation Solution was by far the best company we talked with and they fixed our home to be like new. Everything about the process was well organized, executed, and expectations set accordingly. Huge shout out to Kyle, Collin (Account Executive) and the entire on site crew (Jason, Umberto, Jorge, Ryan, Drew, Ernie, and Jose) who were absolutely fantastic in doing this work over a 3 week period. 5 stars and highly recommend Foundation Solution to anyone who needs their foundation repaired! read more

Our home was having cracks and sagging floors. Collin from the foundation solution came and inspected the house thoroughly. He explained that this is due to the house settling and there isn't anything wrong with the foundation. Sagging seems to be a framing issue. Overall he was very knowledgeable and patient explaining everything to me including giving suggestions about mitigation. I would highly recommend the foundation solution to anyone having a foundation issue in Bay Area. read more

I won't get into the reason we even had to call Foundation Solutions in the first place but Foundation Solutions came through for us in the best way possible. We were introduced to Kyle (project and production manager) late last year when we initially reached out. We'd never had to get help from a foundation company before so we had a ton of questions for him - all which he answered kindly, thoroughly and patiently. He always made time for us to go through our crap load of follow up questions and never made us feel like an inconvenience. Even when we met with Jordan for contract discussions, there was never a feeling of us being a nuisance to them. I feel like there's many companies who get irritated at the customer after awhile but that was never the case here. It made us feel really comfortable and confident in the decision we were making. That feeling only continued after signing the contract. Kyle kept us in the loop around next steps, permit updates, answering more questions until we finally got permits approved to schedule the on-site team who by the way... Were the best guys ever. Have you ever had major work done to your house and missed them the day they left? Did you feel weirdly lonely the next day waking up? Well that was the case for us. The entire on-site crew was great from start to finish. They worked SO hard throughout the entire project and were super respectful to the property. On day one, the team had to take apart our wooden deck. After the guys left that day, my husband and I looked outside bracing ourselves for some crazy mess. Instead, we were very impressed and amused to see everything left so tidy. Even when the project was at its most intensive, you could tell there was a high level of care on how the team left the property for the day. Additionally, while the guys were here, there were days where temperatures reached the 90s and while I would've been happy for them to take a bunch of breaks and slow down, they continued to persist. Humberto, George, Ray, Corwin and Jason - thank you all so so much. I want to especially commend the team lead, Humberto who would greet us in the morning, set expectations for what was being completed that day, and stopped to answer any questions we had along the way. He proactively stayed in touch with us regarding his team's schedule, managed every day's timelines, ensured the quality of the work was top notch, gave us a run down after each day of their progress and set expectations for the next day. A high quality of work, ethic and respect was apparent throughout the entire team. We saw George and Ray a lot in addition to Berto so special shout out to them too! When you require intensive work done to your home, you are essentially surrounded all day by a group of people you've never met - but we are incredibly grateful to have gotten the team that we did. Having to get this work done was not fun - but the guys sure were. Once the work was done and everything was cleaned up, Kyle and Hamilton (who we also loved) stopped by a final time to sign off on everything... and into the sunset Foundation Solutions went. If anyone ever needs foundation work done - or even just checked out, I would highly highly recommend Foundation Solutions. They're a group of honest, ethical, and all around good people. We even needed some help for administrative related items post project and their office manager, Tina was such a help. 10/10. You are getting a LOT for the money you'll be investing. read more

I had a consultation with Benji. He was very professional and honest about pricing and scope of the project. Although they didn't take up the project, Benji left me with great suggestions and some assurance regarding the urgency of the project. read more

Brett and his workers were very efficient and professional. It was easy to work with them. I highly recommend foundation solution services to anyone who needs foundation repair. read more

I had a consultation with Collin to discuss some shifting/cracking that was occurring in our home.  He performed measurements inside and outside the house and explained very clearly that the foundation was fine and it was just a mild case of settling due to the heavy rainfall this year. As other reviews have mentioned, he never tried to over sell anything and very honestly told use that they didn't need to do any work but that we might want to consult a landscaper to improve the drainage. Excellent service - highly recommended! read more

Big thanks to Collin Fort he came yesterday and do a foundation inspection, measuring the tilt in the house, he assured me that the issues are small due to weather condition (the soil expand and extract with rain, common issue in Walnut Creek, CA) and only cosmetic repairs needed about once every 2 years. Thank you so much for the great service and double checking that I had no more questions. read more

Benji provided great service when we needed potential foundation issues evaluated. He was thorough, professional, and gave insightful answers to all the questions I asked. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Collin from Foundation Solutions came out to inspect my house on the hillside. His communication prior to and during the visit was impeccable. Regarding his diagnostic and recommendation, he wasn't trying to upsell anything but sounded logical. Definitely I would recommend the company read more

We were having multiple concerns with the wet weather causing new cracks in walls and door frame movement. I called foundation solutions just to double check that nothing was going on that we couldn't see. What a great company. Came out and spent a ton of time looking all throughout the house and crawl space only to give us the best news that we've had all week. Nothing had shifted and our foundation looked great!! Didn't charge us for his time. We really appreciated the piece of mind. Thank u for ur professional service and speedy response! read more

Collin and his team were amazing! Replaced 13 jacks under our house to stop a 10 year old squeaky floor and found a leak we would have never known about. They were fast and efficient. Thanks guys! read more

I talked with no less than six foundation companies, including two independent engineers, and after factoring cost, experience, references, and sales approach, I selected Foundation Solutions for our job. I couldn't be happier with their work. We own a 100 year-old house on a slight hill, with a small addition in the front that was added in the 1960s. To make a long story short, the 1920s main foundation is still in great shape, but the 1960s addition had been gradually sinking, separating from the main house and putting the front door out of square. I initially got two quotes, but the range in price was huge; one was more than 3x more than the other. At this point started talking with structural engineers to get an independent opinion. I found a former Navy engineer (BEAR Engineering) who did measurements and recommended several approaches. One of the companies he recommended was Foundation Solutions. Kyle came out to do our quote, and was knowledgeable and professional. Their quote was reasonable, and their approach was consistent with what the engineers I spoke with recommended, so I went with Foundation Solutions. Kyle acted as project manager during the prep and permitting process, and Hunter was our onsite lead during the project. The whole team was professional, friendly, always on time, and great at communicating. I had hoped I'd never need to do foundation work, but working with Foundation Solutions was probably the smoothest contracting experience I've ever had. We've owned this old house for 20 years, and we've used a lot of contractors, so that's saying a lot! read more

We had a consultation with a very knowledgeable engineer (Collin) who's extremely patient to answer questions and concerns we had. After a thorough walkthrough and measurements, it turned out the area which we thought might be problematic with leveling is only centralized and minuscule, perhaps due to flooring installation but not foundation-related. I'd like to thank Foundation Solutions for this engineer's detailed explanations and professional knowledge and recommendations. At the end, we acquired peace of mind and would highly recommend this company to anyone that may be seeking help with foundation related issues. If we are doing any addition/expansion of our house, we would definitely get in touch again for securing our foundation prior to any future construction attached to the house. Definitely a company worth spreading its names to be known by potential customers. read more

We would highly recommend anyone to Foundation Solutions! We cannot praise them enough for the thorough job that they did. We were extremely happy with the very personable team. From start to finish, we know we made the right choice by going with them. Collin came out for the initial inspection. I appreciated how respectful he was and that he was quick to respond to any questions. He took the extra time to explain what he saw and did not once exaggerate the issues, as most other companies did. The onsite team was so great! Kyle and team kept to the schedule, clearly communicated at every step, and did an excellent job. After lifting the foundation, they made sure the pillars were still supporting our home throughout the crawl space. They also went through afterwards and adjusted the doors and windows. They even came back after the job was done to adjust the height of an exterior support pillar. And the responded quickly! They went above and beyond for us! They also were upfront with pricing on top of having the best service, and did not have additional charges. They did not have an additional charge for digging down further than 40 feet, which would be an unknown cost until work was completed. Every moment assured us that we had gone with the right company, a trustworthy company! We still feel that way months later! read more

Super impressed with Collin & Hamilton who came out to give me an estimate on my property today. I wanted to get my foundation assessed before redoing my kitchen because I thought it was sinking towards the back corner a bit. Turns out, the kitchen is fine, as is most of the house, just some minor settling over the years. These guys did a super thorough assessment, took their time, and explained all the things to me, which was great considering I know nothing about foundation. Collin was honest and didn't try to sucker me in to spending thousands of dollars needlessly. They definitely knew their stuff and made good recommendations for things could do now to fix the small things if I was so inclined. If things start to get bad enough to need repairs I will absolutely contact Foundation Solutions to get the job done right! read more

These guys are pretty busy so it took a while for initial visit to happen and then waiting for permit to finally have the foundation issue fixed. But it was worth waiting. We had a sinking ground issue, the guys are very knowledgeable, proposed a foundation solution and additional improvements we can make. On the first Collin measured everything in the house and answered all the questions we had. He then came up with a plan for us and went ahead with filing permit. A couple of month of wait on permit later, his team came to the site and installed 7 pillars, it was super fast (took about 3 days to install, inspection the next day, putting everything back). The guys left everything clean after all the digging, put the flowers back, they even brought more mulch to cover the area. Was very nice working with everyone on the team. read more

We live on the East Hills and our 60+ year old house foundation was listing 2" down slope. We worked with Collin to permit the project and Jason and his team (shout out to Humberto, Drew, Ernie and Ryan) to implement the plan. On day of lift our house magically rose back to its original 1962 location. We could not be more pleased with the quality of work provided by Foundation Solutions. Our house is, for the first time, anchored to bedrock! Every penny spent was a solid investment into the value of the house. Foundation Solutions delivered!! read more

We had some possible foundation issues due to water damage. Collin came out looked at our damage. He asked a few questions. And then he reassured us it was nothing to worry about yet and we should re route a gutter down spot, to stop future damage. Now We have a few new cracks(in a totally new part of the house) and will be calling foundation solutions to come take a look at our new problem read more

The team at Foundation Solutions did a great job of removing old supports under the floor of our house and replacing with their adjustable versions. A team of guys (Sebastian, Francisco and Martin) came in over a couple of days and did the work. Everyone was super polite, helpful, friendly and respectful. They took extra care to minimize the mess and cleaned up each day. Later, David came in to assess our doors and windows to make sure everything opened and closed properly. Our issues with settling have been resolved. Although the time frame from initial contract to completion of the work does take time due to scheduling, weather and city permitting, our project manager Collin did a great job of getting our project done in the agreed upon window. I highly recommend Foundation Solutions for this type of home repair. read more

We had a fantastic experience with the Colin who gave us a free estimate! Colin was on-time, friendly and amazingly helpful in answering our questions, of which we had many. We are first-time home owners and had noted some decay in the sill boards and footings of our raised foundation as well as some sloping in the kitchen of our 1930-built home in Campbell. We provided videos/pictures from under the crawlspace and our inspection report from the home purchase. He clearly and thoroughly explained what we were seeing, what he would expect from the soil and construction practices over the past 90 years, as well as what to look for if we needed more-urgent foundation work. He also measured the slope in the kitchen, and recommended that the most actionable thing we should do is improve the drainage outside the back corner of our kitchen wall. As for the foundation, he said that nothing was urgent, offered multiple options for what we could do if we wanted to make repairs in the future, and never tried to sell us on anything we didn't need. We didn't hire Foundation Solutions simply because Colin gave us an honest and upfront assessment of the work and urgency of the need for repairs, and Colin recommended that we seek out a GC/Framer to do some repair to the sill boards/cripple wall in the kitchen if we wanted to be proactive (he mentioned that we likely still had 10-20 years of life left in the boards, despite some decay). We appreciated Colin's honesty and willingness to offer help and suggestions (he was clear to say what suggestions were his professional opinions vs personal and what was in his purview/experience). Even though we ended up not needing to hire Colin, if we ever do need work done, we would definitely contact him first. read more

Gotta love houses in San Jose built on clay,....not so much. Thankfully we found Jordan and the team at Foundation Solutions. 5 Stars, for sure! The rear corner of our house was experiencing some significant settling. This was isolated to one area of our home. We tried everything, geo-engineers, soil engineers, arborists (thinking maybe it was tree roots)......no one could give us a straight answer as to what our issue was, nor exactly how to solve it. Jordan came out and called it right away,......clay. It expands and contracts, sometimes significantly (as in our situation), the water table and droughts can both each have their own respective impact as well. Adjustable jacks, and voila, everything straightened out. No more sticking bedroom doors, no more squeaky floors when we walk. I cannot recommend Foundation Solutions highly enough. These guys are awesome! THANK YOU!! read more

Collin and Kyle are great. Collin came out and inspected our house. Collin explain everything so that we understood what was happening. Gave us and estimate then sent a quote. He always communicated with use through the entire process. Kyle and team came out to fix our foundation. They told us it would take a week 1/2 and it did. The guys were always on time. These teams are very professional and are willing to answer any questions. They also let us know what they would be doing every day. We highly recommend Foundation Solution. Thank you! read more

Benji came out to evaluate the situation, explained it, and gave a recommendation. Knowledgeable, on-time, communicative. No overselling or pushing unneeded services. Definitely the type of contractor to work with. read more

Kyle, the project and production manager came over today to check the possibility of our sinking second floor kitchen because the hardwood floor is cracking on one side of the kitchen. After carefully examined with his equipment, he assured me that there is no need to do any repairs of the foundation post. It will be a money waste to do any the foundation work. Was suggested to hire a floor man to repair the floor. Really appreciated his professional opinion and honest. It must be a very reliable company to work with if there is a need down the road. Thanks to Kyle again. read more

We were so overwhelmed at the prospect of having to fix our foundation issues in our new house. After many phone calls, research and anxiety attacks, we decided to go with Foundation Solutions on the recommendation of our wonderful structural engineer Kelvin Tam. They did not disappoint. Kyle, Colin, Jason and the crew were fantastic. Kyle was a wonderful, communicative, kind PM - always keeping us up to date, letting me air my worries nonstop with an empathetic ear, etc.. Colin was also fantastic as well. There cannot be enough good things said about Jason and the crew - they got the job done, were efficient, tidy, hilarious and really made sure they gave me a progress report every night before they left. We hope to never have to do foundation work ever again but if we do, we won't work with anyone else but Foundation Solutions. Thanks to everyone at the company for making this as painless as possible for us! read more

Foundation Solutions just finished correcting the sinking front end of our house. Cracks in the house were getting worse and bigger as the years passed. Jordan, Tacho and his crew were amazing. Throughout the entire time, from start to finish, they informed and completed as promised. Tacho and his crew were courteous, prompt, hard working and answered thousands of questions. We knew what to expect each day. They completed the job faster than expected. We are very thankful we selected Foundation Solutions. read more

We bought an older house, moved in less than a year ago, and have been slowly repainting room by room. Last month I noticed cracks in the walls - definitely new since we went over each room three times. I googled how many people are crushed to death by their own house each year. Foundation Solutions, busy for understandable reasons, booked us a few weeks out. I crossed my fingers that the house would make it. Enter Collin. Absolutely wonderful human being. Very friendly over the phone, gave us a reminder call the day before the appointment, arrived early on the day of, and carefully inspected our house and took measurements. I didn't get to meet him in person, but my husband texted me "Foundation guy really nice", and he never comments on such things. Collin pointed out and explained some findings and made recommendations, ultimately concluding we were still ok and should wait until a major remodel before considering significant work. Thank you Collin and Foundation Solutions for the peace of mind!!! read more

I have some concerns about my home's foundation so I messaged them and they call me back pretty quickly. When Collin came he asked me some questions and I showed him some ugly cracks around my house and he was pretty kind and patient (I don't have the best fluent English to be honest). Then he proceeded to check around and make some inspection and finally gave me good news about the state of my home. Fortunately it was nothing serious for my peace of mind and he gave me advice on what I need to do. I definitely will call them again when my home need the real thing. read more

Big thank you to Ryan Kremke with Foundation Solutions for helping determine what was going on with the foundation of the house. Ryan was extremely communicative, thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. When dealing with a foundation issue, it can be a scary situation. Ryan went above and beyond to get our questions answered and presented us with a solution in a timely fashion. As a realtor, the importance of having an experienced and qualified professional that can get the job done. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has a foundation issue big or small. read more

We haven't signed the contract with them yet, but they did a pretty good pre-inspection for our foundation. Collin checked the foundation in detail and offered many useful suggestions and advices about foundation repair and maintenance. read more

Our house developed several cracks over the past two years that kept me awake at night. Jordan came over today and did a thorough measurement with the leveling device, and determined they were cosmetic issues on the drywall rather than anything structural. He also educated me on a few preventive solutions which are not cost-effective given the current situation. I really appreciate his honesty and professionalism which has been mentioned by other comments already. I'm sure if I need to hire a foundation specialist in the future, will definitely reach out to him again. Thank you so much Jordan! read more

I suspect the integrity and professionalism of Foundation Solutions. [Context] Before I purchased my current property, the listing agent contacted Foundation Solutions for a foundation crack issue and they provided a cheap quote, which made us think the foundation issue not serious at all, and bought the house. But after we bought the house and shopped around a few other foundation companies and structure engineers, they all advised against Foundation Solution's approach and recommended a comprehensive repair approach which costs much higher. If Foundation Solution can stand by their cheaper approach with high confidence and expertise, I would recommend 5 stars for providing a cost-effective solution for homeowners. But instead, they declined the project because they now felt uncomfortable fixing the cracks after we asked for clarifying questions; they also said now that fixing crack is not their expertise; their expertise is fixing the soil-related problem. [Reasons for not recommending] We felt extremely annoyed and upset with Foundation Solution 1. If Foundation Solution now felt uncomfortable to repair our foundation, then they provided a misleading quote during a property transaction period, which impacted our decision to purchase the house; this is at best unprofessional and at worst not honest. We are considering a lawsuit here 2. Foundation problem can be scary, especially for first-time homeowners like us. We indeed asked for many clarification questions, but all other companies responded with patience. If our questions lead to their change of mind in their confidence in expertise, it is at best not patient and professional, and at worst lying about their skills read more

I have been sleepless the last 3 weeks since noticing hairline cracks in my post tensioned slab in the garage. The cracks were growing in length and width and new spots were forming. After searching online for solutions, I found Jordan who scheduled me about 2 weeks out. I continued to send pictures of cracks in the garage not knowing if I had an emergency situation. Jordan called me and after talking through my situation, it seemed unnecessary for him to come out so I canceled our appointment. But I couldn't ease my nerves so Jordan put me back in the books the next day. Jordan just came by and looked at all the cracks with his own eyes and told me that this was not of concern. He explained why this may be happening right now and what would be considered warning signs. Easy to talk to. Didn't make me feel like an idiot. Educated me about warning signs of structural problems. If I ever do have foundation problems in the future, I will certainly turn to Jordan. read more

I want to give Jordan and his team 5 stars for his excellent work on our house. Throughout the whole process Jordan was very transparent and flexible with our needs. He would respond quickly to our requests and even when there was a slight issue he went above and beyond to make it right. I could not recommend him and his team enough! read more

I live near the Foothills in Blossom Valley (San Jose), and noticed some drywall cracking near my bay window and also some stucco outside. Of course, my wife and I feared the worst and figured our home was going to fall through the ground. As a Real Estate professional, I know that we live in an area with clay like soil, which makes the soil very expansive and susceptible to movement. That being said, we wanted an expert to come out and assess the issue. I called Foundation Solutions, and Jordan ended up getting me on his calendar a few days out. His colleague, Colin, came out to my house, and used a water device (hooked up to tripod) to measure the flooring levels in different parts of the house. It was determined that one corner of the home had settled about an inch, but the zero or level point was more than 25 feet away, so he didn't recommend any foundation repair at this time. He said the biggest thing to fix is the drainage in that side of the house, to prevent too much moisture from accumulating near the foundation. I was really impressed with this guy's integrity. He could have easily scared me into thinking I needed a $25,000 underpinning job, but instead, stated that for a 47 year old home to settle one inch...things could be a lot worse. These guys have 5 stars because of their honesty, integrity and work ethic, not to mention their knowledge of this business. If you ever have any concerns, give these guys a call. read more
