This Tualatin crawl space was riddled with groundwater that was producing high humidity and mold throughout the area. Eventually, the mold and humidity made it up to the first floor of the home. Once that happened, the homeowner did the right thing and gave TerraFirma a call!
Our System Design Specialist quickly came to evaluate the situation. He concluded that the crawl space would need a TripleSafe Sump Pump and complete crawl space encapsulation that included removing the wet, mildewy insulation that was harming the home's air quality. With a plan set, our production crew went out and completed the job in three days!
Our VaporLoc Elite encapsulation reduces musty smells and an EVOH layer that seals out odors. VaporLoc Elite is a 120 mil thick liner that insulates your crawl space and reduces energy costs. Along with reducing allergens in your home, your newly encapsulated crawl space also gives you a clean, dry, sanitary usable storage area.
A homeowner in Helix, Oregon, had a problem with moisture getting into their crawl space and was searching for a solution to stabilize the inside of the basement. They contacted TerraFirma for help.
After evaluating their home, our System Design Specialist advised installing the EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System, which repaired and stabilized the walls in just one day!
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!
The homeowner of a 1908 Portland garage faced several issues, including a vertical crack in one of the walls, efflorescence, and water leakage through the cold joints in the concrete. They contacted TerraFirma to help strengthen the garage walls and stop the water from seeping in.
After a thorough evaluation, our System Design Specialist recommended the EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System, which would permanently stabilize and restore the structure.
With a well-planned strategy, the TerraFirma team installed the EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System within a day!
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.
