Does a settling house in Beverly Hills need to be raised?

Foundation raising can lift a settled Beverly Hills house back to level on steel piers, each holding a steel bracket under the footing, which is the concrete strip your walls rest on.

Most people call us after a crack shows up or a door stops closing right, and the first thing I want to know is how much the house has actually moved and where. The price turns mostly on how many piers it takes, how deep they have to go, which pier type fits the house and how hard the spots are to reach, like a tight crawlspace or a patio in the way. The schedule turns on what the city asks for at your address, whether tenants live in the building and how much concrete we have to open up to get to the footing. After I've looked at it, you get a written estimate that explains what's included, so you're comparing real options instead of a guess.

Why owners pick Keystone for foundation raising

You'll talk to the person who measures your house and runs the job, and you'll hear the reason behind every step before anyone touches a footing.

  • I look at it myself

    I come out to look at the house and write the estimate, then I run the job on site.

  • The reason behind each step

    We explain what goes under the house and why, because an owner who knows the reasons makes better choices.

  • Licensed and insured

    We're licensed and insured, and you're welcome to ask about both at the estimate visit before you decide anything.

  • In business since 2021

    We've been at this for five years, and I learned the trade on a crew by asking why each step mattered.

  • Our satisfaction guarantee

    Backed by our satisfaction guarantee, with a written estimate that spells out what's included so you know what you're getting.

How we approach foundation raising

We take elevation measurements along the outside walls and at the interior footings before suggesting any lift, because cracks alone can point you the wrong way. Then the pier has to fit the house's weight.

  • Push piers for heavier homes

    Push piers are driven into the ground hydraulically, using the weight of the house itself to press them down, so they suit a home heavy enough to do that work. Each one is load tested as it goes in, which tells us what every pier can actually carry.

  • Helical piers for lighter homes

    Helical piers are screwed into the ground with a hydraulic torque motor, so they don't lean on the house's weight to get there. The usual rule of thumb is that a lighter home on a shallow footing or a slab may need them.

  • Getting to the footing and putting it back

    When a walk, patio or driveway sits where a pier has to go, our concrete cutting work opens just that section so we can reach the footing. If settlement cracked the driveway beside the house, we can replace it through our concrete driveway building service once the house is level.

Foundation raising questions we hear

What are the signs my foundation is settling?

Settlement usually shows up as vertical, diagonal or stair-step cracks through foundation walls, floors that aren't level, doors and windows that stick or won't close right, and cracks in your drywall or plaster. One sign by itself doesn't tell you much, which is why we measure before suggesting anything.

How much does foundation raising cost in Beverly Hills?

The cost comes from your own house, not a chart, so your figure comes in the written estimate after I measure. One general rule is worth knowing, though. Push piers usually cost less in materials than helical piers when both have to reach the same depth, so a home heavy enough for push piers can come out cheaper to fix.

Who is allowed to raise a foundation in Beverly Hills?

Beverly Hills requires a licensed contractor for any project valued at $1,000 or more. The state's contractor licensing board has a building moving and demolition classification that covers raising, lowering and underpinning structures, which means adding support beneath them, foundations included. That same classification leaves out repairs or alterations to the parts of the house that stay put, so ask about it at the visit.

Can foundation raising keep my house from settling again?

It can help, because the same steel piers that lift the house may also help prevent future settlement by carrying the footing from then on. I'll walk you through which parts of your house they'd support when I come out.

How do I find old permits or soils reports for my house in Beverly Hills?

The city's Community Development Department keeps building permit records and geological and soils reports, so you can look up what's on file for your property. Bring whatever you find to the estimate visit, because knowing what was done before helps me read what I'm measuring.

What is the best way to raise a house with a tight crawlspace?

Push piers are usually the easier fit, because they go in with small handheld equipment that works in a crawlspace or basement. Helical piers can be set by hand too, but it's a lot more cumbersome, so access is one more thing I weigh when we pick the pier.

Foundation raising rules in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills requires building permits for structural alterations, general repairs and other work, but its list doesn't name foundation raising, so whether your job needs one gets settled with the city's Building & Safety office for your address. We find out what they ask for on your kind of job and take care of the permit paperwork when it's needed, and if something has to come from you, like a soils report or drawings, we tell you early. If tenants live in any unit of the building and the work will run longer than a day, the city also wants a plan explaining how the work will be done sent to its Rent Stabilization Division, so mention tenants at the first visit.

Timing matters too, because the city has a moratorium on construction in the public right-of-way, like the street and sidewalk, from November 16, 2026, through January 4, 2027, and it asks that work be planned around those dates. Calls here start the same way they do on jobs in West Hollywood and Culver City, with an owner who noticed something change and wants to know why. We're based in Beverly Hills and work across many of the cities around it, so if yours isn't on our list, ask us anyway.
