Our Services

Foundation repair in Portland covers structural fixes, seismic safety, and moisture control.

Foundation Settlement and Stabilization

Older Portland homes and new builds both settle when soil shifts or compacts. We use piers, helical anchors, or other proven methods to stabilize your foundation and stop cracks from spreading. Especially common in Southeast Portland and around the Hawthorne district.

Seismic Retrofitting

Seismic anchor installation for lateral bracing in North Portland home

Portland sits in seismic territory. We brace foundations to your home's framing so earthquake movement doesn't separate your structure. Older homes built before modern codes benefit most. We're experienced with both concrete and post-and-beam foundations.

Moisture Control and Drainage

Portland's rain and high water table cause wet basements and crawl spaces. We install drainage systems, sump pumps, and moisture barriers to keep water out. Common in Southwest Portland near the Willamette River and East Portland neighborhoods.

Post and Beam Repair

Many Portland homes built in the early 1900s use post-and-beam construction. We repair rotted wood posts, sister inadequate beams, and add support for sagging floors—keeping the original character intact. Popular in Northwest Portland and Historic neighborhoods.

Why It Matters

Ignoring foundation problems leads to costly damage, safety risks, and lost home value.

Early Fixes Prevent Major Repairs

Small cracks and minor settling are warning signs. Address them now, before they grow into structural failure, collapsing walls, or thousands in repairs. Portland's damp climate speeds decay—prompt action saves money.

We inspect free so you catch problems early.

Protect Your Home Value and Safety

A sound foundation is your home's backbone. Insurance, resale value, and family safety all depend on it. Foundation repairs often complete faster than major structural damage and restore peace of mind faster too.
