Have you noticed signs of foundation failure in your Olympia home or business? Eventually most foundations will settle into the soil slightly after they’re built. Providing that soil settlement is uniform, this shouldn’t be a problem. The problem occurs when there is differential settlement, or when the foundation settles into the soil unevenly. Differential settlement in your foundation can place considerable stress, eventually leading to structural damage and cosmetic blemishes on your home.
R&R can permanently repair the problem and reinforce the structure that we strategically install along the foundation footing and grade beams. These heavy duty steel piers are hydraulically driven into the ground until they reach stable soils or bedrock beneath the foundation of your home.
We provide foundation repair services for residents and businesses located in Thurston County and throughout Western Washington.
If you have noticed any of these signs of foundation damage, call R&R Foundation Specialist for your no-obligation, free inspection.

Most foundation damage in Olympia occurs when the soil, upon which the foundation was poured, settles. Our system drives steel piers all the way down to solid bedrock, which then push your foundation back up to its original level where it belongs. We’ve invested in the foundation-leveling industry’s most effective equipment, which aids us in providing a solution for just about any condition.
The ability to add strength to a crack repair has significant benefits. Once a crack develops and moisture is able to get to the reinforcing steel, corrosion can begin. As corrosion progresses, it worsens the condition of the concrete around the reinforcing steel. In order to repair these areas, the deteriorated concrete needs to be removed and the rebar corrosion needs to be addressed. If the rebar corrosion process is not completely stopped, the expansion of the steel can cause the patch to fail. One method to reinforce cracks related to corroded rebar is to wrap the repaired areas with a bi-directional carbon fiber. This will provide confining strength over the repair and make up for any section loss due to corrosion.
We use a special carbon fiber application designed specifically for strengthening of concrete and masonry corners. Foundation corners often require repair and reinforcement. If rebar is missing, damaged, or deteriorated, carbon fiber can be added to an existing structure in order to provide the necessary tensile capacities related to a specific load pattern.

At R&R Foundation Specialist, we offer advanced Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) solutions to repair, reinforce, strengthen and stabilize foundations, interior walls, retaining walls, commercial structures, and even parking garages. CFRP is a lightweight, high-strength material that provides exceptional structural support, making it an ideal solution for foundation repairs.
Our unique carbon fiber applications can strengthen, support, and preserve concrete and masonry. Carbon fiber systems allow us to transfer loads to the structural element by bonding the fibers.
CFRP is particularly effective in preventing foundation cracks, bowing walls, and other types of structural damage caused by soil pressure, water infiltration, and other environmental factors. Each tow used contains 12,000 filaments of carbon fiber. When the fabric is placed in tension, each of the 12,000 continuous filaments is loaded simultaneously, giving it an enormous amount of strength.
The use of CFRP for foundation repairs offers several advantages over traditional repair methods, including its durability, flexibility, and easy installation process. CFRP also provides long-lasting results, making it a cost-effective solution for Olympia homeowners.
Our team of experts is equipped with the latest tools and technology to ensure the highest quality of CFRP installation services. We conduct a thorough evaluation of the foundation to determine the best repair solution, and our technicians work closely with clients to ensure their needs are met.
