Earthquake-Related Cracks Repair in Pasadena, CA

We inspect your foundation to identify cracks caused by seismic activity and determine how these structural issues have affected your hardwood flooring installation. Our specialists use laser levels and moisture meters to measure foundation movement and assess whether settling has created gaps between floor boards or subfloor separation.

We coordinate with structural engineers when necessary to ensure that foundation repairs address root causes before we restore your hardwood floors completely. This thorough approach prevents recurring damage and gives you confidence that repairs will last for decades without requiring additional work or expense.

We examine subfloor systems to identify areas where earthquake movement has loosened joists, cracked plywood, or created separation between structural components underneath your floors. Our specialists reinforce weakened subfloors by adding blocking, replacing damaged plywood sections, and securing loose joists to restore structural integrity throughout the flooring system.

We use construction adhesives and mechanical fasteners that exceed building code requirements to ensure your subfloor remains stable during future seismic events. This reinforcement work provides the solid foundation your hardwood floors need to perform properly and prevents squeaking, bouncing, or further crack development over time.

We repair floor joints and transitions where earthquake movement has created gaps, separations, or height differences between rooms, hallways, and adjacent flooring surfaces. Our team removes damaged transition strips, adjusts subfloor height differences, and installs new thresholds that accommodate any remaining structural movement while maintaining proper clearances.

We seal joints with flexible materials that allow for minor movement without cracking, which protects your floors from moisture infiltration and pest entry. This attention to transitions ensures your home's flooring system functions as a cohesive unit that looks professional and performs reliably throughout every space.
