Date of Request: 05/21/2023
Location: Sparks, NV
Description: Our neighbors have a very large Mulberry Tree about 50' in height sitting near our property line. The root system has spread into our property and has: 1. Destroyed the concrete work of our patio; 2. Invaded the area under the floor of the garage; 3. Has caused the threshold of the side entry door of the garage to be uplifted and is causing the door to jam; 4. Is treatening to invade the main foundation of the house; and 5. May be displacing an area of the house resulting in a crack in the wall of the family room. The neighbors deny the tree is causing any damage to the house, in spite of the fact that the roots of the tree are visible on the surface of the ground. We need to have an independent, non biased inspection done to evaluate the damage being caused by the tree's root system. Can you provide this service for us? Do you use GPR (ground penetrating radar) to draw out a map the root system? Thank you for your assistance.

Does Foundation Movement Affect Reno?
Reno is the second largest city in the state of Nevada. However, there are far more homes in the Reno area as opposed to Las Vegas, and with all those homes out there in the desert plains, there exists the extreme potential for foundation problems. Reno is another boomtown that has seen exponential growth over the past 20 years, and its home construction industry was busy pumping out homes as fast as they could be built. There were several fortunes made by the contracting companies that bought desert land cheap and converted it into a residential oasis practically overnight. That is precisely where we begin to find foundation movement problems here in the greater Reno area.
Any time there are huge booms in home construction, the first sign of rushing the job will appear in the foundation, as the soil does not get properly packed before the foundation is constructed. Then, there is the issue of the soil itself. Reno is in the desert. Desert soil is best classified as a high clay content that primarily consists of sand. This type of soil is the leading cause of expansive soil, which expands and contracts with any water that is present. But there is no water in the desert, right? Well, partially true. However, whatever moisture that does come in the form of rain in Reno is quickly absorbed by the expansive soil, and when the rain event is over, the soil retains the water. These factors are all enemies of foundations and leading causes of foundation movement problems here in the greater Reno area.
What Causes Foundation Problems in Reno?
We pretty much just summed up the primary problem that causes foundation problems in Reno. The soil is not a very healthy soil where a foundation is concerned, the expansive qualities along with the poor compaction ratio, and the ability to retain water are the three leading candidates for foundation problems in the greater Reno area. These lead to leaking foundations, shifting soils, and unstable structures.
Another contributing factor to foundation problems in Reno is the simple fact of Reno’s geographical location in regard to the seismic activity from the San Andreas Fault which is rather close by in proximity to Reno. It doesn’t take much of a tremor to begin foundation problems or to take a foundation that is already in trouble and push it to its limits and beyond. Earthquake activity can further exacerbate your foundation’s problems literally in the blink of an eye. If a foundation is already showing signs of problems, and then that same foundation goes through a seismic event, don’t expect anything pretty about it. Earthquakes will expose foundations’ weak spots, and then it will gradually worsen them.
What Are the Signs of Basement Foundation Damage in Reno?
Most homes in the greater Reno area are built on concrete slabs. Even if your home has a full or partial basement, the floor of the basement is the floor of your foundation, and it is a concrete slab. When foundation problems begin to surface, it has probably already been present in your foundation for some time, and your best course of action is to get our foundation repair professionals on the scene as quickly as possible.
The warning signs of your Reno foundation problems will appear in the following ways:
When you see standing water on your basement floor, your foundation is in need of repair very badly. Water will attack your foundation from the outside and work its way inside through tiny air pockets that had formed when the foundation was poured. These tiny bubbles form then burst, leaving small voids. When the water outside begins to find these voids, it is like a tiny vein in which the water will eventually work its way through. This is when your basement foundation is trying to tell you that something is wrong, and it’s about to get ugly fast.
Do You Need to Hire a Structural Engineer to Fix Your Foundation in Reno?
We have our very own ‘in-house’ structural engineer that we include as an integral piece of our foundation repair packages. If you’re experiencing foundation damage, you might want to consider hiring our structural engineer for an analysis of your foundation problem. This will ensure your home’s safety and the efficacy of the repair we carry out.
There are many homes bought and sold in the greater Reno area. If this sounds like a situation you are in, whether you’re a buyer or a seller, you might want to include the report of our certified structural engineers for the foundation of the home in question as part of the closing procedure on the home. Foundation repairs are not cheap. A structural engineer report that says your foundation is safe and sound is worth its weight in gold! Our structural engineers’ report is also a bit cheaper than a foundation repair and a small price to pay for peace of mind about your Reno foundation issues.
If our structural engineer finds problems with your foundation, he or she will include a very detailed recommended repair report of the foundation and will also more than likely include in their price for services a follow-up inspection to ensure the repairs have been done properly, so the foundation can finally be certified as safe and sound. When you call us to schedule your foundation inspection, you might want to go ahead and secure the services of our structural engineer to begin the solution to your foundation problems in the greater Reno area.
Cost of Basement Foundation Repair in Reno?
We have finally gotten to the financial end of your Reno foundation problem. Foundation repairs, even simple ones (if there is such a thing), are not cheap. When your foundation begins to crumble away, so do the dollars for the subsequent repairs. Every foundation is different, so it stands to reason that every foundation repair cost will be different. There are too many issues once the repair begins to say that any two are alike; they simply aren’t. Now, let’s take a look at some numbers that represent the average low, high, and overall price paid for foundation repairs here in the greater Reno, Nevada area:
These numbers are just average amounts, and they are here to suggest the starting point for your Reno foundation repair. These averages also include some miscellaneous fees such as:
Again, your foundation issues will be unique, and these figures are strictly meant to aid you in what your foundation repairs couldbe. Now, here are the miscellaneous fees that these figures do not include:
As you can see, when you repair your Reno foundation. it isn’t going to be cheap. Then again, how much would you pay for total peace of mind concerning your home’s foundation?
Does the Soil in Reno Affect Your Foundation?
Yes, the soil does affect your Reno foundation in many ways. We first mentioned that there are issues concerning the soil and its inability to properly drain any runoff water, which of course, can lead to foundation problems. Expansive soil that both expands and contracts due to water content and a soil composition of mainly sand and clay is the leading contributor to foundation issues in the greater Reno area.
This area receives so little rainfall on an annual basis that when rain does fall, it falls hard and pools fast. These standing pools of water next to your foundation will eat away at the foundation, and soon you would begin to notice the intrusion of water should your home have either a full or half basement. These are all leading contributors to foundation damage, and the only way you can determine the extent of the damage is by securing the services of a dedicated team of foundation repair experts like the ones here at Regional Foundation Repair.
When you first notice these or any other signs that tend to be affecting your Reno foundation, the only way to tell what is normal and what is permanent damage is by the trained eye of our foundation repair expert.
