Foundation Contractors in Seattle

Leaking in basements and crawl spaces in Seattle and Renton, WA

One of the primary concerns associated with rain in Seattle and
Renton is water leaking into homes. Rainwater can seep through
roofs, windows, and foundations, leading to leaks, moisture damage,
and mold growth if not properly addressed. Homes with older or
poorly maintained drainage systems may be particularly susceptible
to leaks during heavy rainfall.

Foundation contractors in Seattle are ready to assist you. Here are the top services we provide to keep your home structurally sound.

Preventing Flooded Basements

Basements are particularly vulnerable to flooding in Seattle. The key to preventing this is an efficient water management system.

Sump Pump

A sump pump is essential for homes with basements. It collects and pumps out excess water that gathers in a sump basin to prevent flooding.

Flood Drain

Installing a flood drain can save you from the nightmare of a flooded basement. It channels water away from your home, reducing the risk of water seeping in.

Establishing Moisture Barriers in Crawl Spaces

Crawl spaces become damp and moldy when they’re unprotected in wet climates. That’s why a moisture barrier is essential! Installing a polyethylene sheet on the ground and walls of your crawl space can prevent moisture from seeping in. This keeps the area dry and reduces the risk of mold and mildew, which can cause health problems and structural damage. 

Repairing Damaged Foundations

Cracks in foundations can occur due to various factors, including soil movement, shifting temperatures, and moisture changes. Over time, these conditions can cause the ground to expand or contract, putting stress on the foundation. Fortunately, TerraFirma’s foundation repair in Seattle can take care of these issues with the following techniques.

Foundation Reinforcement

Foundation reinforcement addresses cracks and weaknesses that develop over time. Steel or carbon fiber reinforcements can stabilize the foundation. This method is effective for handling the shifting soil conditions that are common in Washington.

Foundation Anchors

Foundation anchors provide additional support to homes with shifting or settling foundations. These anchors are installed deep into stable soil, holding the foundation in place. This technique is particularly useful in areas with loose or clay-heavy soil, which can cause foundations to move over time.

Throughout the greater Seattle area, including Renton, Bellevue, Kirkland, Auburn, and beyond, our work speaks for itself

Work was completed on time, on cost estimate, and very well done. All mess was carefully cleaned up after completion of the job. All in all an excellent experience. I highly recommend TerraFirma.
Seth from TerraFirma came out to my house to inspect my basement, which is starting to show signs of water encroachment. I had no idea what to do. He did a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior of the house, and then we talked. He walked me through several options to address the issue, explaining in a way I could understand, and being very receptive and responsive to my questions. He was very professional and courteous. Seth promptly sent me the quotes for the three options we had for the basement, and made sure to be tidy as he headed out!Even before this, the person who talked with me on the phone to take my info, and later to confirm the visit, was helpful and courteous.It's rare to have a such a positive experience with a contractor (just sayin'), but this was it. I am not sure when we'll be making these changes to my basement, but when we do, it'll be with TerraFirma -- and it'll be with Seth. Everything about this company is green flags!
Seth from TerraFirma did a great job in measuring and providing the estimate for our house. He was very patient in walking us through different scenarios and introducing the tech specs of the proposed solution options. Super helpful for us.
Great company to work with. Honest and up front the whole way through. I appreciate the time Seth took to explain each option to me. I would recommend using then if you have issues under your home...

This is the 3rd time I have worked with this company. Very satisfied every time.Seth was very professional and easy to work with.
System Design Specialist, Kristy Young, was phenomenal to work with! She was thorough and a true professional. Kristy was able to bring plans to her team which resulted in a substantial cost savings versus competitors. Other competitors wanted us to remove main sewer line and displace our new electrical panel when in fact the wall stabilizer was able to fit behind due to it's sleek, thin carbon armor material! Kristy is beyond exceptional and I can't recommend her enough!
Seth has been really awesome. He is professional and very patient. We had many questions. He took time to answer them all and come over twice to make sure the detail were accurate. I'm happy to have met him and look forward to our basement being fixed!
We called TerraFirma with a pretty significant problem. We had just purchased a home and were a bit misled on a couple of items. The basement and crawlspace were mold infested (which we did know). What we did not know was that at times of the year, there would be some standing water in the crawlspace. We also didn't know that the drain from the sump pump was actually underwater (adjacent lake), nor did we know the pool backflushed into that same line and actually would enter the crawlspace whenever that process occured. The crawlspace was unvented and unconditioned....the perfect storm of BAD! Our goal was to first remediate the mold and then resolve the issues that allowed the mold to grow in the first place. Enter Terra Firma. Tulane and Terra Firma stood head and shoulders above every other company I spoke with. It wasn't jus that they were going to fix it- we literally walked through every step and every product-I knew what I was buying before we started. The crew was professional, on time and did exactly what they said they would do and in the time frame promised. With Terra Firma, we waterproofed and encapsulated our crawlspace, we insulated the crawlspace, we installed new sub floor drainage with new sump pumps with battery backup to lower the water table under the house (that now drains above the high water line), we installed new structural floor posts where others had rotted, we installed a bypass for the pool overflow and we installed dehumidification and we are in the process of now conditioning the space. Terra Firma led the way and did an excellent job both on the communication and on the installation (at the price originally quoted!). I would highly recommend this firm for anyone with complex and challenging crawlspace issues. Great work and fantastic team from start to finish!Bruce McKee
