The basement of this 1905 Portland, Oregon, house had multiple cracks in its foundation. The back right corner, which connected to an add-on of the home, was also failing, leaving the basement at risk for possible water intrusion! The homeowner contacted TerraFirma, concerned about this potential risk.
Upon evaluation of the basement, our System Design Specialist recommended installing the EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System to repair and stabilize the wall.
TerraFirma quickly went to work, completing the installation in two days!

Like many homeowners, the couple who owned this home in University Place, WA had never ventured into their crawl space. They assumed everything under their house was excellent, and their floors had adequate support.
When they reached out to TerraFirma to inspect their crawl space for water damage, our System Design Specialist volunteered to go into their crawl space to check their support posts. What he discovered was that one of their posts was 5 inches above the ground.
You'll notice to the left of the post some wood that appears to be debris. For years, that debris was the stop gap between the support posts and the footing. Eventually, the debris shifted enough to fall away from the post.
In a day, TerraFirma removed the old post and installed our SmartJack support post, which is made from galvanized steel and can support more than 60,000 pounds.
The homeowner of this 1924 in Portland, Oregon, house was getting a new backdoor installed. However, the contractor couldn't attach the door frame to the stem wall covering the bottom 3 feet. The contractor suggested the foundation needed to be checked, leading the homeowner to contact TerraFirma.
After assessing the basement, TerraFirma's System Design Specialist discovered crumbling stem walls and damp drywall in the corner. The specialist recommended using the EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System to repair and stabilize the walls.
With a plan in place, the TerraFirma team completed the installation of the EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System within a day!
