We can help you too! Foundations First is the NW expert in home foundations, basement and crawl space waterproofing, concrete leveling, and wall stabilization.
"I contacted Foundations First NorthWest and a couple of other contractors when an inspection revealed some foundation settling and crawl space damage. I chose Foundations First to make the repairs because they included more work, and at a lower price, than their competitors. I can't say enough about how professional everyone at Foundations First NorthWest was, from the first meeting with the sales rep to the constant communication with office staff throughout the project. Every step was completed without a hitch -- getting permits, engineering, the repair work and county inspections. The work crews worked quickly and efficiently on both the installation of stabilizing foundation piers, and also on the crawl space repairs. And they left the work areas in a very clean condition. I highly recommend Foundations First!"

We can help you too! TerraFirma is the NW expert in home foundations, basement and crawl space waterproofing, concrete leveling, and wall stabilization.
"I hired TerraFirma Foundation Systems to level my home, expecting a professional job with clear communication, but the entire experience has been incredibly disappointing and costly. From the start, I hired the company to level the floors in my home, specifically to address a nearly 3-inch dip in my kitchen area, a 13x10 room. Yet after they “completed the job,” I still have a 1.5-inch dip in the center of the kitchen, and a corner of my home/kitchen that sits half an inch higher than it should be (above 0%), creating a full inch rise from the living room to the kitchen. Now they’re saying that leveling the kitchen wasn’t included in the original scope, blaming the remaining dip on my kitchen island and fridge being “too heavy” and lacking proper support—an issue they failed to identify in the initial assessment. To properly address this problem, they’re now asking for an additional $7,500, claiming this work was never part of the original job. This feels like a classic bait-and-switch tactic, and I can’t help but feel taken advantage of. To make matters worse, I discovered that they used an uncalibrated machine during the initial leveling when installing, which raised my house over an inch more than necessary, causing significant damage that wasn’t there before. Partway through the lift, they even asked me to sign a waiver to get my house closer to 0% level, effectively absolving them of any damage caused. The technician stopped mid-lift to show me the damage that was already occurring and warned that more would likely follow if we continued. I agreed to proceed, trusting their assurances and assuming their equipment was properly calibrated. I even pointed out to the technician at the time that it did not look level, and he assured me the machine was correct. Now, they refuse to take any responsibility for the resulting damage, dismissing it as “standard” and providing terms within the contract absolving them—despite them overcorrecting the home. There were also repeated measurement discrepancies, with reports showing one reading and verbal statements/emails suggesting different levels. When I sought clarification, I received vague responses and empty apologies. After all this, and nearly $30,000 invested, my floor remains unleveled. The only resolution TerraFirma Foundation Systems has offered is for me to pay additional money to level the kitchen and to wait for the overcorrected area to “settle naturally”—a process that, according to their technician, could take anywhere from two months to ten years. I hired TerraFirma Foundation Systems to fully level my home, not to leave me with an incomplete job, inconsistent results, and vague promises. If you’re considering foundation work, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere—this company has left me with extensive damage, unexpected costs, and a significant amount of frustration."

"Big thank you to Fermin and the team at West Coast, they were amazing! They went above and beyond. We have a flat portion of our roof, which is apparently more difficult to install, and it was hard to find a company that would do it. They not only did it, but added slope to it for us so that it's not a flat roof anymore. So awesome! They put on a new roof, vents, and gutters, painted our outside trim, and did a great job with all of the woodwork that was rotting and had to be replaced. But above all, they were friendly, flexible and very reasonable. We will definitely call on them again if we have any roofing or painting jobs"

Standing water in your crawl space won’t disappear on its own. Keep the drainage clear, ensure the vents are working properly, and run a dehumidifier to control moisture levels. If dampness lingers, mold, wood rot, and foundation cracks can follow. Act quickly and call a pro to protect your home’s structure and indoor air quality.
Disinfecting a crawl space requires a methodical approach. First, clear all debris and remove old liners and insulation to eliminate contaminants. Then, apply a strong bleach solution or borate spray to eradicate mold spores and mildew. Ensuring complete surface coverage and allowing ample drying time establishes a sanitary environment and prevents future infestations.
A crawl space serves vital functions by providing access to essential systems, including electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC ducts. It also offers a buffer zone that aids in moisture control and protects underlying structural components.
Yes, crawl space encapsulation is a worthwhile investment in protecting your home. Crawl space encapsulation locks out moisture, controls humidity, and blocks pests and harmful pollutants like radon gas. Those benefits boost indoor air quality and protect beams, joists, and insulation, giving your home long‑term structural stability and safeguarding your family’s health.
Prevention is the best way to keep water out of your crawl space. A dehumidifier and sump pump can help control moisture levels, but grading the landscape to redirect water away from the foundation is most important. Additionally, seal foundation cracks and install reliable drainage systems such as a French drain to maintain a consistently dry environment.
Yes, repairing your crawl space foundation is critical, regardless of how minor the issue may seem. Foundation problems arise from enduring moisture, water intrusion, and unstable soil, which can lead to significant structural damage if left unaddressed. Hiring a licensed structural engineer or foundation repair professional guarantees your home’s long-term stability and safety while preventing escalating repair costs.
