What kind of homes and basements does Sacramento have?
Land Park, East Sacramento and Curtis Park have 1910s to 1940s homes, many on raised crawl-space foundations and some with basements; Natomas is newer slab construction in a low-lying basin.
What causes basement and foundation problems in Sacramento?
Crawl space water in winter
Long storms raise groundwater and send runoff under raised homes.
Clay-soil movement
Expansive clays crack slabs and stucco with wet-dry cycles.
Older basements in historic areas
The few older basements take water during wet winters.
Levee-protected neighborhoods
Natomas and other low-lying areas rely on levees. Homes there are in or near floodplains, making flood insurance, elevated mechanicals and good site drainage important.
