Foundation Repair, Replacement & Retaining Walls

Professional Service & Quality Solutions You Can Trust

There is no “one size fits all” solution to foundation repair, so Millett Construction offers a variety of services to ensure your home’s foundation remains safe and strong for many years.

The foundation is the most critical part of your house, and any damage could compromise its stability. Most often, foundation problems are caused by water damage or poor drainage.

However, you may also have to completely replace your foundation if it was installed without reinforcing steel or has suffered water damage. This is a much more involved process than repairing your foundation.

Whether you need a foundation repair or a total replacement, we handle the job professionally and efficiently. We service all of Oregon and tackle any foundation issue you have.

Our services include:

Foundation repair typically starts with an inspection to identify issues such as water damage, cracks, settling, or bowing. We determine the extent of the damage and recommend a plan to address it.

Once we have identified the problem, we work on the solution. This may involve underpinning, which is installing additional support under the foundation, or leveling, which involves lifting and adjusting the foundation to ensure its level. Other services may include waterproofing or basement crack repair.

Foundation repair services are essential for maintaining the safety and value of a property. Our experienced team handles the work and takes the burden of these repairs off your to-do list.

Foundation Repair

Does your house have sloping floors, cracks in the walls, windows that won’t open, or doors that are hard to open and close?

Water has compromised the stability of your foundation and it needs to be repaired. We fix the problem and leave your home on level ground.

About Foundation Repair

Foundation Replacement

Foundation replacement involves removing the existing foundation and replacing it with a new one. We replace a foundation when it has suffered extensive damage or become structurally unsound due to poor design or construction. Properly replacing a foundation ensures the safety and stability of a building for years to come.

Retaining Walls

A retaining wall prevents soil from moving. We can repair a failing retaining wall, without completely replacing it, saving you time and money. Often a retaining wall fails due to water problems.

In addition to repairing or replacing the wall, our team fixes the underlying problem and provides long-term peace of mind.

Pile Driving

If your home is built on poor soil, on a hillside, or on top of clay, then you’ll need our pile-driving service. Pile driving will save you from costly repairs due to the house sliding or sinking.

If your home is already sliding or sinking, our team will drive piles and repair any damage to the home.

Keeping Your Family & Home Safe

Built on the principle of doing things right, we aim to exceed expectations.

December 2009 we purchased an old house in Ashland that needed a new foundation.

We researched foundation options and gather four bids from various contractors within the local area. We were most impressed with Frank and felt he was more prepared and capable of doing our job. However, we did contact other homeowners that Frank had worked with who all gave positive comments. We even contacted a Medford civil engineer who had worked with Frank as well as other contractors on out list. Again, the advice given was that Frank had the experience, capability, and track record for the kind of job we were planning.

After signing a contract for the work, Frank began the job in February 2010. For the next 6 weeks, Frank and his crew made steady progress on what appeared to be a significant undertaking. As the project continued Frank kept us informed and made adjustments in our plan always with the phrase "We can do that".

The end result of Frank's work is a foundation under a 100+ year old house that will allow the house to go for another 100 years. As people pass by they continually comment on the rejuvenation of this old house and especially to the foundation. Foundations are not always the most noticeable part of the house, but in our case the neighbors and passerby tracked the hard work of Frank Millett and crew, and were happy to see that old house would be around for some time.

We would never have a moment's hesitation to work with Frank in the future.
