Emergency Underpinning Job in San Francisco- From the owner

To Whom It May Concern

On March 19th, 2011, the retaining wall between our house and our downhill neighbors house gave way in the middle of the night during a rainstorm!  It was an emergency!  Our house lookes as though it might go down to join our neighbors!  The Dept. of Building Inspections "red tagged" us and we had to move out.  The engineer we were using contacted Valentine Corporation to underpinn the North East corner of the house with Perma Jacks to stabilize it and keep it from sagging.  They came immediately.  The job they did was perfect and finished in record time -- 3 days.  The actual cost was less then the estimate by hundreds of dollars.  We are very pleased with Valentine's work and so was the City of San Francisco.  The deputy building inspector allowed us to move back in upon completion of the Perma Jack installation.

Sincerely

Jim and Charlotte H.
