Reliable Fence Contractors in Newberg, OR 97132 - Alpha & Omega Enterprises

The most common cause is poor drainage behind the wall, often due to our heavy clay soils. Early signs include leaning, bulging, or visible cracks in the wall face. You might also notice water pooling at the base after rain. Alpha & Omega Enterprises addresses this by installing proper drainage gravel and perforated pipe during new construction, ensuring water doesn't build up and push against the structure.

Uneven walkways are often a sign of soil settlement or erosion beneath the slab, especially on our sloping lots near the Chehalem Mountains. While it's not always a foundation problem, it can indicate that water is carrying soil away. As a solution, we can lift and stabilize concrete sections or replace them with a properly compacted base and drainage fabric. If you’re also seeing cracks in your basement walls, it’s wise to get a full inspection.

On properties with steep grades common in Newberg's west-side neighborhoods, a standard poured driveway can be a challenge. Our solution often involves terracing the driveway with a reinforced concrete retaining wall on the downhill side. This prevents erosion, keeps the driveway bed stable, and allows us to integrate proper drainage channels to direct rainwater away from both the driveway and the house. We've done several similar installations along Springbrook Road.
