On the scenic southern Oregon coast, Gold Beach homeowners face unique challenges when it comes to maintaining strong, stable foundations. The region’s coastal climate, high humidity, and shifting soils can take a serious toll on older homes, especially those built with early 20th-century materials.

That was exactly the case for one 1909 bungalow in Gold Beach, where the homeowners were preparing the property for new tenants. During inspection, they discovered that their foundation was crumbling and structurally compromised, putting both the building and the rental timeline at risk. That’s when they reached out to TerraFirma Foundation Systems for help.

The Challenge

The home’s aging concrete foundation had begun to deteriorate after decades of exposure to moisture and changing soil conditions. The foundation walls showed visible crumbling, cracks, and surface decay, signs that the concrete’s strength had dropped well below safe levels.

When our System Design Specialist evaluated the home, the foundation tested at an average of 1500 psi, indicating that it had lost much of its original integrity. Left untreated, this kind of damage could lead to wall collapse or uneven settlement throughout the structure.

The Solution: EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System

After a full evaluation, the specialist recommended the EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System, a proven, permanent solution designed to stabilize failing foundation walls.

The EverBrace™ system uses a series of steel panels and beams to effectively create a new structural wall inside the basement or crawl space. This engineered system transfers the load from the failing wall to the new supports, restoring the home’s strength without the need for full wall replacement.

It’s ideal for older coastal homes like this Gold Beach bungalow, where humidity and shifting soils make long-term stability a top concern.

Installation and Results

With the design plan in place, the TerraFirma installation team got to work. They installed the EverBrace™ panels along the affected foundation walls, securing them to a robust internal framework.

The transformation was immediate: the wall was stabilized, and the structure regained its integrity. The homeowners were thrilled to know their property was now safe, secure, and ready for its next tenants.

While photos show the process before and after installation, the results speak for themselves: the foundation is now reinforced, and the home’s future stability is assured.

Why EverBrace Works for Gold Beach Homes

Gold Beach’s coastal environment can accelerate foundation wear and tear. Constant exposure to moisture, salt air, and seasonal soil movement increases the likelihood of crumbling or bowing walls.

The EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System is an excellent solution for local homeowners because it:

• Stabilizes deteriorating or crumbling foundation walls
• Adds lasting strength without costly wall replacement
• Works effectively in damp or high-moisture environments
• Provides immediate peace of mind for property owners and tenants alike
