Basement Waterproofing Services in Myrtle Creek, OR

    Most home owners, home builder, buyers, sellers, etc. wouldn't think that a year old house would have foundation, basement or crawl space issues. Think again. More and more homes that are being built on non-ideal soils and are seeing these types of issues frequently and early on in their life. This will change the way that people build, buy and sell homes from this point forward. Luckily there is help. After Rich C. of Myrtle Creek, OR noticed crawl space issues in his one year old home, he looked online for a company that could help him and found TerraFirma. 

    The solution was a Cleanspace total crawl space encapsulation. By solving groundwater seepage, isolating the the earth from the house, conditioning the air and covering the vents, Larry was able to control moisture and potential water problem, circulate cleaner more healthy air throughout the house and prevent mold development.

    Confident in his new crawl space system, Larry can be confident he not only increased the value of his home, but will provide a better living environment while he and his family are still living there. 

    Darrin S owns a commercial building in Myrtle Creek, OR. While he was in the basement, he noticed there was a spot of water on the wall. He started to speak to friend about the problem and one of them recommended calling TerraFirma Foundation Systems.

    Just a few days after contacting the office they sent out their sales representative Ryan Thomas. He did a full evaluation of the building and decided a few products would be best. The firs he recommended was a SuperSump pump which is equipped with a Zoeller 1/3 horsepower cast-iron sump pump and is capable of pumping 2,500 gallons of water per hour out of the basement. Also he recommended DryTrak, which is a system installed above the floor and along the inside of the perimeter of the basement that would drain water that enters the wall and drain it to the sump pump. Because there is an outside entrance to the basement, Ryan’s last suggestion was a Trench Drain. This drain is installed in front of the door and resembles half of a piping system with a grate fitted snugly on top. The grate is flush with the floor and will catch water that enters from the outside.

    Now that the basement is protected thanks to TerraFirma Foundation Systems, Darin can run his business as usual.

    Local Myrtle Creek, OR resident, Garry was looking around his home one day when he noticed that the chimney was starting to lean and pull away from the home. He knew that this would cause a lot of problems so he started to look for a company to help him. While speaking to his friends, one of them suggested that he call TerraFirma Foundation Systems.

    He decided to give them a call and within a week Daniel Holborow was at his home looking everything over.  He recommended that they install Push Piers. These piers would be attached to the chimney and then driven into the ground hydraulically until a suitable loading bearing stratum is encountered.  Over time the chimney will slowly start to lift and eventually will come back to normal.

    With these piers installed, the chimney is now protected from further damage and will not pull away from the home any longer.
