Site observations and field work were conducted on March 17, 2006. Scope of Services Our services have been provided to assess and analyze the cause and extent of soil and foundation movement, and to prepare recommendations for appropriate repairs to the house. The scope of services performed for this study includes: Visual observations of the house and surrounding conditions; Subsurface exploration to a depth of 5 feet; A floor level survey of the house; Laboratory testing of samples recovered from the excavation to determine pertinent engineering properties; and Engineering analyses and preparation of this report. 30640 Kristin Court, Redlands, CA 92373 — 909-389-7316 — fax 909-389-7326 — www.helf i . s ociat s. orn f� MAR 2.4 2006 Assessment and Repair Recommendations Luellen Residence Page No. 2 Our services were conducted in accordance with the standard of care typically practiced by reputable professionals in this and similar localities. We make no other warranties, either express or implied. Floor Level Survey A floor level survey was performed to determine'the slope of the floor of the house and to identify the nature and extent of foundation movement. In general, the floor survey shows that the floor slopes down toward the west side of the house. The high point on the floor slab is located at the corner of the smaller bedroom and the closet wall in the mid portion of the house. The low point on the slab is located at the main entrance. The total differential between these two points, which are about 17 feet apart, is 3.7 inches. There is also evidence of differential settlement of the garage with respect to the house. Separation of the living room fireplace from the house can be observed from inside the garage. The garage floor has settled as well, mainly at the corner adjoining the front entrance of the house. Field Investigation The house is a single story, wood frame and stucco structure with a shallow foundation system. The house has a conventionally framed roof with tile roofmg. The house was built about 40 years ago on a level lot in a relatively level subdivision. The house does not have rain gutters. Water is carried off the lot via surface drainage, which is generally poor around the house. Surface water from rain and irrigation water ponds in the front yard due to lack of proper slope. Damage to the house consists of mainly of soil settlement under the floor slab at the entrance to the house. This settlement has led to the formation of a ridge which has its lowest point under the main door. Most of the visible floor cracking is on the garage slab. Some cracks due to settlement are also visible on the wall between the living room and the garage. We excavated a test pit adjacent to the southeast corner of the house, as shown on the attached site plan. The test pit adjacent to the house was excavated to expose the footing (12 inches deep and 6 inches below grade), and a hand auger was used to excavate the soil below the footing. We retrieved relatively undisturbed samples of the in-situ soils within the test pits utilizing a split -tube ring sampler for further testing. Logs of the excavations are attached in Appendix A. We excavated to a depth of 5 feet below the existing ground surface. Groundwater was not encountered in the test pit, and is expected to be below 10 feet. Frost depth is not a design or construction consideration for this home. Assessment and Repair Recommendations _ Luellen Residence Page No. 3 Soils encountered in the test pit consists of inorganic silts of low plasticity. The samples retrieved had moisture contents ranging from 4.0 to 15.1 percent. The moisture contents of the samples increase with depth. Dry densities of the soil ranged from 81.7 to 90.9 pounds per cubic foot. Although no corrosive tests were performed, corrosive soils are expected. Corrosivity of the soils, however, is not expected to adversely affect the performance of the proposed pier foundation system. Engineering Analyses and Evaluation Piers will be used to stabilize and re -level the home in the areas shown on the attached plans. Piers will be installed to a depth sufficient to stabilize the foundations. This depth is estimated to be at least six feet, where the allowable soil bearing pressure is greater than 1000 pounds per square foot. The foundations will then be lifted to as level as practicable. The piers are not intended to resist seismic or wind lateral loads from the soil or from the structure. The original lateral load -carrying ability of the foundation system is restored after the structure is leveled byusing flowable fill, sand -cement slurry, or approved alternative to restore soil support to the foundations. Because the soil support is restored after placement of the piers (using the sand -cement slurry or approved alternative), sustained loads on the piers are limited. Therefore, settlement of the piers under design loads will be within construction tolerances (less than %2 inch total, and less than 1/240 differential slope). The connections between the piers and the foundations are, therefore, only used during the lifting process, and are not designed or intended to transfer significant loads from the structure to the piers. Structural calculations are presented in Appendix C. These calculations show that for four cases oftypical structures (one and two story, raised floor and slab -on -grade foundations), the maximum spacing of the piers ranges from six to 12 feet. This spacing is based on the conservative assumption that the foundations are built of unreinforced concrete, and also satisfies the load limit of 16,500 pounds. Occasionally larger spacing will be required to avoid placing undue stress on the structure framing system. These conditions, if present, are identified on the plans, and require that steel beams are used between piers to allow additional piers to be installed, as required. Conclusions The soil around the house has been subj ect to ponding during the rains and from lawn irrigation. This is the likely cause ofthe settlement of the floor slab of the house. However, soils immediately underlying the foundation at our test pit location have a lower density than the deeper soils and settlement of the foundations may have occurred due to loads on this relatively softer layer. Assessment and Repair Recommendations Luellen Residence Page No. 4 Recommendations Although the interior portion of the house has lifted relative to the perimeter foundations because of soil expansion, it is impractical to lower the slab to the level of the foundations. Therefore, we recommend that the perimeter foundations be lifted to the level of the interior slab. In order to mitigate future foundation movement and to improve the serviceability of the house, we recommend that the foundations around the perimeter of the house be underpinned to stabilize and lift the house. Existing surface and roof drainage conditions should also be improved. The attached repair drawings present details of the proposed foundation repairs. These repairs address vertical movement of the house by stabilizing the foundations and re -leveling the foundations and slab to the greatest extent practicable, Performance of these repairs should be monitored for at least 12 months. Details of the proposed repairs are presented below: Re -level and Stabilize Stabilization and leveling ofthe foundations and slab should be performed - using a combination of the Grip-Tite Foundation Pier System and restoring continuous foundation and slab support with a flowable fill, sand -cement slurry, or approved alternative. This repair method is described on the attached drawings, and consists of pushing steel pipes below the existing foundations, and lifting the foundations to approximately level. Once the house is satisfactorily lifted, flowable fill will be used to fill the voids below the foundations and slab and to re-support.the foundations and slab. Cosmetic Repairs Cosmetic repairs to the home are likely to consist ofrepairs to the interior and exterior walls, ceilings, and floor surfaces. This work should be done after the re -leveling and stabilization work is completed. Exterior Repairs The most critical component of mitigating expansive soil movement is to control the moisture content of the soils surrounding and under the house. Surface drainage should be maintained sloping away from the house (at a minimum of 2% grade) to ensure that water does not pond next to the foundations. Rain gutters should be installed with downspouts that direct water away from the foundations, preferably directly to a subsurface drainage system. Planters should be provided with area drains to prevent water ponding. Irrigation systems should be carefully monitored to ensure that soils near the home are not over -irrigated. Exterior repairs should be performed after the foundation repairs are made to restore the landscaping, irrigation, and patios/sidewalks to their preconstruction condition. Additional maintenance recommendations are presented in Appendix B. Assessment and Repair Recommendations Luellen Residence Page No. 5 Closure The recommended repairs are intended to stabilize and re -level the foundations in the affected parts of the house. Due to the nature ofthe subsurface conditions at the property, additional future movement of the house should be anticipated. Areas of the home that have not been repaired may experience damage in the future, although the extent of this damage is anticipated to be minor, provided good irrigation and drainage maintenance practices are followed. Floor level surveys should be performed at least every six months to evaluate the effectiveness of the initial repairs for the first 12 months. Annual floor level surveys are recommended after the first year to verify performance of the repairs. Results from these surveys should be analyzed to determine if additional leveling and stabilization are warranted. We appreciate the opportunity to submit this report.

Gradation 3-14-06 SO -26118 APPENDIX B - MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS The most important aspect ofpropertymaintenance is proper control of surface drainage. Uncontrolled Water from broken pipes, improperly maintained irrigation systems, and rainfall are the most prevalent causes of soil movement in Southern California. The following recommended procedures should be followed by the property owner to minimize this movement: Homes should be provided with roof drains, gutters, and downspouts, and these facilities should be checked at least twice per year. ti 2.
