Why SoCal Needs Geobear
The ground in Southern California is dynamic. We have tailored our solutions to address the specific threats facing properties in this region:
1. Combating "Expansive Soil"
California’s "boom and bust" rain cycles cause clay soils to swell when wet and shrink dramatically when dry. This constant movement cracks foundations.
The Geobear solution: Our geopolymer is injected deep into the soil to fill voids and compact the ground, treating the root cause of the movement, not just the symptom.
2. Seismic resilience & liquefaction
In an earthquake, loose, sandy soils can behave like a liquid (liquefaction), causing buildings to sink or tilt instantly.
The Geobear solution: We can densify loose soils beneath existing structures without excavation. By increasing the density of the ground, we significantly reduce the risk of liquefaction during a seismic event.
3. Drought recovery
Long periods of drought leave the ground parched and shrunken. When the rains finally return, the water washes through cracks, eroding the soil further.
The Geobear solution: Our material is hydro-insensitive. It displaces water and creates a permanent, stable base that won't wash away.
The "Keyhole Surgery" approach
In high-value real estate markets like Los Angeles and Orange County, you cannot afford to have your property torn apart for weeks.
Geobear offers a non-disruptive alternative to traditional underpinning:
- No excavation: We work through small holes (5/8 inch) drilled through the slab or pavement.
- Fast turnaround: Most residential projects are completed in 1 to 2 days.
- Zero mess: Your landscaping, hardscaping, and interior finishes remain intact.
