Foundation Repair Specialists

foundation repair SOLUTIONS

Cracked foundations, nasty crawl spaces, and musty basements can be a nuisance for homeowners. The foundation repair specialists at TerraFirma can repair the structural integrity of homes. Our expertise focuses on identifying and resolving various issues caused by shifting soil, water intrusion, or age-related wear. We’ll come to your property, diagnose the problem, and start a repair plan to get your house back in shape.

There are several tactics that our foundation repair specialists will implement based on the assessment and analysis of the foundation. These may include the following:

  • Foundation reinforcement that prevents further settlement and strengthens the existing structure
  • Foundation anchors for extra support
  • Wall stabilization to prevent bowing or leaning walls
  • Vapor barriers to manage humidity levels and impede water damage

We offer free, on-site estimates to assess the damage and offer reliable solutions to stabilize homes in Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Roseburg, and across the Pacific Northwest.

Our foundation piers have been engineered for minimal disturbance to your home and a fast, effective installation. As a proud member of the SupportWorks network, we install only US-made, patented, tested, and proven foundation pier systems. If you don’t use foundation push piers like these, you may have to deal with uneven floors, cracked walls, and compromised structural integrity. By addressing these issues early, you can prevent further damage, protect your home’s value, and ensure long-term stability. Our foundation pier solutions are tailored to meet the unique challenges of the Pacific Northwest’s soil conditions, providing peace of mind for homeowners.

PUSH piers

If your home is settling into unstable soil conditions, push piers are the least risky solution because they are driven all the way to bedrock or a stable soil layer. TerraFirma’s push piers are tested and proven.

  • Fast, seamless installation
  • Permanent stabilization
  • Extends to greater depths than alternative options
  • When soil conditions are unknown, push piers are the preferred solution because they are driven all the way to bedrock or a stable soil layer
  • Year-round installation
  • Installed in interior or exterior locations
  • Minimal excavation required

Pre-Construction PIERS

If you’re building to stand the test of time, TerraFirma installs piers pre-construction, or when the existing foundation has failed and needs to be replaced. Ask us about your pre-construction permanent foundation solutions for challenging builds. Excellent in both residential and commercial installations.

Grouted Micropile Tiebacks

TerraFima’s grouted MicroPile piers are typically used when challenging conditions-such as steep slopes, deep sand, rocky or wet soil, or complex geology-impede the function of other foundation piers. Capable of penetrating soil obstructions, we can increase the stability and load-bearing capacity of the surrounding soils.

Foundation Wall Stabilization

Cracks in your basement or foundation walls are a sign of foundation stress. Stabilization of foundation walls helps repair or prevent cracking or bowing walls. Ignoring these signs can lead to worsening structural issues, including water intrusion, loss of property value, and even safety hazards, which is why you should look into our foundation repair services. Proactively addressing these problems with our foundation stabilization methods ensures the long-term stability of your home and prevents costly repairs down the line. Each foundation wall repair solution is tailored to meet the specific needs of your home, providing peace of mind for you and your family.

Crawl Space Support Posts

When floors in the home start to sag, this may not be a foundation issue but a possible problem in the crawl space underneath. Homeowners in Oregon and Washington are very familiar with the damage our wet, damp, and expanding soils do to our homes. If left unchecked, these conditions can lead to wood rot, mold growth, and pest infestations, further weakening the structural integrity of the crawl space. Poor ventilation and trapped moisture exacerbate these issues, creating an unhealthy environment that can impact indoor air quality. Proactively addressing these problems with crawl space support posts not only protects your home but also ensures a safer, more comfortable living space.

Don’t take our word for it – see what our clients have to say.
From Roseburg to Eugene, Portland to Seattle, our Foundation Repair work speaks for itself

I called Terra Firma, very concerned about slab settling and movement away from foundation walls that I recently found when removing 30 year old carpeting in our house. With short notice, Tyler Landon came out, took detailed elevation measurements inside and outside the house, examined both for signs of settling, and evaluated subgrade settling. Tyler was very knowledgeable. Hillary did a wonderful job coordinating everybody. Dan Billick then worked his magic, raising the main slab, and injecting a matrix of PolyFill throughout the lower level. Dan was experienced in foundation repairs where the slab was poured over compacted sand (coastal construction). He was very careful not to affect our sub-slab Radon system too. Dan was supremely competent, a great communicator, and a pleasure to work with (and he left the house even cleaner than when he found it 🙂 Dan ROCKS – Thank You Dan! I no longer have foundation concerns. I would hire Terra again in a heartbeat. They are skilled, honest, fair, and fast. Bryan Petrofsky
We had the pleasure of working with Samuel Bryant, System Design Specialist at TERRAFIRMA, who provided us with a complimentary foundation and crawlspace inspection along with detailed repair estimates. Samuel was highly professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire process. He delivered a comprehensive inspection report and repair design that clearly outlined the property’s condition and potential issues. His thorough assessment gave us valuable insight during our home-buying decision and helped us better understand the risks and costs involved. We greatly appreciated the time, expertise, and attention to detail that Samuel and TERRAFIRMA provided. Their excellent service and professionalism left a strong impression on us, and we will not hesitate to reach out to them again for future foundation or crawlspace needs. Highly recommended!
I had a positive experience with vapor barrier application to my basement walls, a draining system install that wraps around the basement walls, installation of a sump pump, foundation crack repair, sealing/ vapor barrier install in a crawlspace.
Astonishing. Clearly knowledgeable, didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need -- to the point of selling nothing but nevertheless spending many minutes walking around, inspecting thoroughly, and teaching me a ton. What a gracious way to do business. If I did need foundation work I'd want this outfit for sure. Thank you very much, Walt and your team.
Everyone, from the job estimator and office staff to that guys that repaired my foundation/driveway and installed the earthquake mitigation system, were very professional and courteous. Very happy with the final result!
Five stars aren't enough. We had a sizable project on an old house in tight quarters with neighbors who were concerned. We knew going into our project that there was going to be a lot of guesswork in the planning, and that whomever we hired for the project would have to make changes on the fly. The planning team was very clear about what they knew, and what they were inferring based on their experience and what they might discover when they started excavating. They presented us with us a few different proposals with breakdowns of the cost and a list of the pros and cons of every plan, answering all of our questions before we finalized our choice. The whole team at Terra Firma was incredible throughout; clear, consistent communication about the progress on the project and how it evolved as the plans encountered reality. It was a job well done with consistent care and extra effort. Whether it was the on-site team or the office staff supporting the project, everyone was a genuine pleasure to work with.
Great work. I had huge foundation issues on a large waterfront project. Terra firma waterproofed my basement and lifted the house on hydolic piers to level it out. They saved my project. Seth was a fantastic project manager and Oscar and Jorge completed the job extremely well. 10/10 would recommend for any foundation issues.
Being my first home, I went into it knowing my foundation would need extra care. The TerraFirma team was amazing and very personable. I mean everyone to included, customer service when you call for an appointment, to the initial inspection, and Shea calling to make the appointment. I had Collin as the lead for my home and, he made it happen. Couldn't have had a better group be so professional and kind. Makes all the difference. Glad I was able to find these guys. Highly recommend. 🎉🎉🎉
I had an amazing crew. Brad, my job foreman, communicated throughout the process and problem solved a couple issues with me. His crew worked hard and shared their perspectives as the job progressed. We started with a 4 inch slope and we were able to lift quite a bit. Brad and his crew discussed possible impact on the roof, windows, French doors, and concrete foundation of the garage. They did a great job and addressed issues as they came up. They did additional stabilization where needed and hauled away some concrete. They were awesome. I would work with them again. I give them 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Schylar, the foam foreman, was able to come in the next day and fill the gap created under the porch with foam, as well as bring my sidewalk up to meet the porch and level it with the sidewalk. Schyler was great to work with as well. I am disappointed in the sales technician that evaluated the job. He failed to notice that one side of the front porch was sitting on the foundation and how the porch was going to be affected by the lift. He also failed to notice or consider that I have a flat roof in the center of my home, surrounded on three sides by a peaked roof. This matters because the lift puts pressure upward that would typically carry over to the opposite foundation. This was not shared with me during the sales process. In my case, this pressure comes down where the peaked roof meets the flat roof which is on an interior wall. There is also the possibility that lifting one side of the foundation can cause the opposite side to need stabilization as well. This was not shared during the sales process. I give the sales technician one star ⭐️. When I shared these concerns with David, the field supervisor , I was left with the impression that it is just the way they do business.
Terrafirma repaired my sunken foundation, lifting the foundation back to where it should be. It is something that I thought couldn't be done but they did it. They are experts at what they do. I could not be happier.
I've had multiple interactions and services (including sump pump installation) done by TerraFirma, all good experiences. However our last service which was an inspection of our foundation was exceptional and warranted me to write a review. Our systems design specialist Tanner Heinz who came out was courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful to our home. We felt like he wasn't trying to oversell, just telling us straight facts and honest opinion. We trust our home is in good hands and came up with a game plan. If I owned a business we'd be lucky to have Tanner as an employee. Highly recommend this company.
Eric was incredibly knowledgeable about home structure and foundation support. You can tell he genuinely cares about his line of work, and helping people find peace in stressful situations.
