Homeowners Frequently Asked Questions
How does rain put my home at risk Here in Washington?
SeaTac soils are impacted by heavy rains causing hydrostatic pressure. This leads to cracks in foundations and basements and may cause your foundation to settle or sink. Engineered support structures and comprehensive drainage systems are key to keeping your Tacoma or Seattle home dry, safe, and stable.
What’s the best way to repair concrete?
The NexusPro solution is a commercial grade joint sealant that offers several advantages over traditional concrete crack repairs. Its fast cure time (60 minutes) and performance under extreme temperatures makes it a perfect match for concrete repairs in Vancouver and throughout the Southern Washington.
What types of cracks in my foundation or basement should I be concerned with?
Houses in Bellevue and Renton are particularly susceptible to cracks in basements due to heavy rains and wet soils. Watch out for horizontal or stair step cracking along the foundation wall, diagonal cracks in the corners, crumbling walls and inward bulges.
How to fix a leaking basement floor in Seattle?
If you have water coming through the floor or windows to your basement, the first step is installing a perimeter drain system. We can also install a direct drainage channel, which will help direct any water that comes through the crack into the drain and your sump pump.
Are you noticing damp drywall and carpet in your basement?
Musty smells, walls that feel damp to the touch, and ground-level leaks are all indicators that your basement may need to be waterproofed. Don’t wait until the next heavy rain to protect your home from water damage.
Which vapor barrier is best for weeping walls?
The VaporLoc Elite Wall System is better for weeping walls than other commonly used vapor barriers. The VLE system has double sealed seams, waterproof material (not water-resistant), and is much thicker than vapor barriers available at retail stores. TerraFirma is the top rated Vapor Barrier installer in Auburn.
Can I turn my crawl space into storage?
TerraFirma offers comprehensive encapsulation solutions to keep your crawl space clean, dry, and secure from outside threats. Our industry-leading vapor barrier system keeps out destructive moisture while greatly improving your indoor air quality. In most homes, TerraFirma can even encapsulate your crawl space, giving you a clean, dry area suitable for storage.
How to repair damaged concrete in Tacoma?
While you could seal concrete with urethane caulk found at your local big-box DIY store, that is a solution that is prone to cracking, bubbling and drying out over time. The local experts at TerraFirma are here to help with long lasting solutions to level seal your unprotected joints and cracked concrete.
What is that bad smell coming up from my drain?
Unwanted air and gasses are coming up through your home’s drain system. A great fix for Bellevue and Kirkland homes is our TrenchLock™ drain insert that can be installed in an existing trench drain to allow water down without allowing air to come up. The system comes with balls that fit over the drainage holes, which create an airtight seal when there is no water.
What is the difference between helical piers and push piers?
Helical piers and push piers are both types of foundation repair methods, but they differ in their design and installation process. The choice between helical piers and push piers depends on factors such as soil conditions and structural requirements. Helical piers are often preferred in areas with weak or unstable soil conditions.
How long does basement waterproofing last?
TerraFirma-installed waterproofing systems are expected to last decades with regular care & maintenance. We also warranty our installations, our WaterGuard and DryTrak drainage systems come with a transferrable lifetime warranty. Terms apply, view the details here. We stand by our work and the quality of the systems we install.
