Foundation Repair - Warehouse Wall Settling

Hi, my firm owns an industrial building in CA that is seeing some settling underneath a key wall. So far the slab underneath has not shifted much.

The wall is about 300ft and has shifted downward about 2in in the past 25 yrs (1in in the last 5 yrs). It's shifting is somewhat isolated from the rest of the warehouse.

We have done some grouting underneath the building but it has not helped the rate of change. We are considering placing push piers about 30ft underneath the wall to secure it.

Does anyone have experience with foundation repair? What do you recommend?

Thanks!

Real Estate Career Roadmap (optional)

“Nick was extremely informative and gave me a lot of solid and practical advice. He answered all of my questions clearly and thoughtfully. I really appreciated that he gave me an actionable plan for how to approach recruiting and developing my career in general. He was very open about sharing his own experiences. He also gave me helpful perspective on how to differentiate myself during the recruiting process and make my conversations with professionals more meaningful. I feel like I have a clearer understanding of what I should focus on and concrete next steps. This was overall a helpful and valuable conversation. ”

Real Estate Mock Interview

“Nick was fantastic. He didn’t just glance at my resume and give me generic advice—he explained exactly why it wasn’t telling the story I wanted it to tell, then helped me figure out how to fix it. He pushed me to be more intentional about how I talk about my experience and gave me concrete steps to prepare for interviews, from tailoring my resume to practicing financial modeling. I also appreciated how candid he was. When I asked about real estate capital markets versus sales and trading, he gave me his honest opinion while being clear about his own perspective. He shared interview guides, answered all my questions, and offered to do a more detailed mock interview if I move forward with JLL. I left with a lot of work to do, but also a much clearer idea of how to do it. I’d absolutely recommend talking with Nick.”

Helical piers > push piers if the situation allows for it.
