    Foundation Repair Canby

    Foundation issues can lead to significant damage to your home if not addressed promptly. In Canby, OR, homeowners may notice signs like cracks in the floors, bowing walls, or sagging floors, which often indicate deeper structural problems. You might also see doors that stick, windows that won’t close properly, or gaps between the walls and ceilings. These issues can all signal that your foundation is shifting due to soil movement, water damage, or the natural aging process.

    In Canby, OR, TerraFirma specializes in foundation repair with personalized solutions designed to address the specific issues affecting your home’s foundation. We start with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the cause and extent of the problem, and then we recommend one or more of our reliable foundation repair systems.

    Foundation piers

    In Canby, OR, our push and helical piers are designed to stabilize and lift your foundation by transferring its load to deeper, more stable soil. Helical piers are great for areas with known soil conditions, while push piers are the go-to choice for spots with uncertain soil stability. Both options are minimally invasive and provide lasting solutions for your home.

    Wall Stabilization Systems

    For cracked, bowing, or leaning walls, we offer a suite of reinforcement products. These include:

    • CarbonArmor®: Made from fiber-reinforced polymers ten times stronger than steel.
    • PowerBrace®: Zinc-plated steel beams that can be tightened over time.
    • GeoLock® Anchors and Helical Tiebacks: These systems halt inward movement and gradually straighten walls over time.
    • EverBrace™: Designed for severely deteriorated walls, this system replaces and reinforces failing foundation walls with steel supports.

    We also offer grouted micropile tiebacks for difficult soil conditions, SmartJack® crawl space support posts for sagging floors, and vapor barriers to manage humidity and prevent further moisture damage.

    Every solution comes with professional installation, ongoing maintenance choices, and transferable warranties, ensuring you have confidence and peace of mind in your home in Canby.

    Basement Waterproofing Canby

    Experiencing a wet basement in Canby? It can lead to mold, mildew, structural issues, and poor air quality in your home. You might notice musty odors, stained walls, standing water, or efflorescence—a white, powdery residue that appears when water evaporates. Even a tiny crack in your basement wall can become a significant entry point for moisture.

    TerraFirma provides top-notch basement waterproofing solutions in Canby to keep your space dry, healthy, and fully functional, no matter the weather.

    In Canby, OR, we create custom drainage systems that effectively direct water away from your basement and into sump pumps, keeping your foundation safe and sound.

    WaterGuard®: Our most popular system, it’s installed below the floor slab and above the footing to prevent clogging.
    DryTrak®: Ideal for monolithic foundations where jackhammering is not feasible.
    FlowGuard®: A thin-floor drain system used in basements with thin concrete slabs.
    TrenchLock™ Inserts: Block ground air from entering while allowing water to drain.

    We offer several sump pump options tailored to your water exposure:

    TripleSafe™: Three-pump system for maximum protection, including battery backup for power outages.
    UltraSump®: High-capacity battery backup pump that activates when the main pump fails or power goes out.
    SuperSump®: A single-pump system for homes with minor water issues.

    VaporLoc Elite: A heavy-duty wall liner that stops moisture and mold while directing water into drainage systems.
    SaniDry Sedona & XP: Energy-efficient dehumidifiers that remove up to 109 pints of moisture daily, improving air quality and comfort.

    Our SunHouse™ Window Wells and WellDuct® Drains keep your basement bright, dry, and free from debris, while meeting egress codes for safety.

    Waterproofing in Canby, OR not only safeguards your investment but also turns your basement into a safe, functional extension of your home.

    Encapsulation & Drainage

    We begin by sealing the crawl space with our VaporLoc Elite liner, a 120-mil thick waterproof barrier that blocks moisture, soil gases, and allergens. To ensure proper drainage:

    • We use drainage matting under the liner to guide water to your perimeter drain or sump pump.
    • Sump pumps remove water quickly and efficiently, even during heavy rain or high water table conditions.

    Earthquake Retrofitting Canby, OR

    Canby, OR, is located in an area of the Pacific Northwest that’s susceptible to earthquakes. Homes built before the updated building codes of the 1990s are particularly at risk. Even a minor quake can cause significant damage, like shifting a home off its foundation or compromising its structure.

    TerraFirma’s earthquake retrofitting services help secure your Canby home to its foundation and strengthen its ability to withstand seismic events.

    Retrofitting your home for earthquakes in Canby not only enhances safety but can also lower your insurance premiums and deductibles, and may even open up coverage options that weren’t available before the upgrade.

    How We Retrofit

    Assessment & Planning

    The retrofitting process starts with a thorough evaluation of your building’s current condition here in Canby. A qualified expert, like a structural engineer or a trained technician, will inspect your home to pinpoint any weaknesses and suggest the best solutions.

    Our evaluation covers a thorough inspection of the foundation, walls, roof, and overall structure. After that, our engineer creates a detailed retrofitting plan tailored to the findings.

    Foundation Bolting

    “Strengthening the foundation is the next step in the process. Our technicians install anchor bolts to securely connect your home to its foundation, helping to prevent any side-to-side movement during an earthquake.”

    In Canby, our process involves drilling into your foundation and securely inserting steel bolts. Our skilled workers then tighten these bolts, boosting your home’s stability and making it more resilient against seismic forces.

    Adding Shear Walls

    Shear walls play a vital role in earthquake retrofitting by helping to distribute seismic forces and keeping buildings in Canby safe from collapse.

    In Canby, OR, shear walls are often made from strong materials like plywood and are installed in key areas of your home, especially in cripple walls. These enhancements give your walls extra support and stability, helping to protect your home during an earthquake.

    Bracing & Reinforcing

    Next, we’ll strengthen key areas of your home in Canby with durable steel braces and straps. Our team will carefully install these on essential structural elements like the roof, walls, and floors. This crucial step enhances your home’s stability, ensuring it has a robust framework that can handle seismic activity.

    Securing Applicances

    Ensuring your appliances are properly secured makes for a safer living space in Canby. It’s important to anchor items like water heaters and refrigerators. Our technicians can also install safeguards for gas meters to help reduce the risk of gas leaks.

    Reparing Foundations

    During retrofitting, technicians may notice substantial foundation damage that needs immediate repair. Adding crawl space support posts and foundation piers, and stabilizing the walls are some of the ways TerraFirma can reinforce your foundation.
