Foundation Repair on Queen Anne
Queen Anne's steep hill and historic homes — Victorians, Craftsman, classic foursquares — settle on the slope, and century-old basements take on water. We repair and re-level homes across Queen Anne.
Foundation repair for Queen Anne's historic homes
Queen Anne is one of Seattle's oldest and steepest neighborhoods, full of homes from the early 1900s perched on the hill. Beautiful — and demanding on foundations. The grade drives uneven settling, and old basements and foundations were never built for today's expectations of a dry, level home.
We specialize in exactly this: re-leveling settling homes with piers, repairing and reinforcing old foundation walls, and waterproofing basements that have taken on water for decades — all while protecting the historic character that makes a Queen Anne home special.
Why Queen Anne homes settle
The Queen Anne hill is steep, and a home built across that grade carries uneven loads that show up as sloping floors, sticking doors, and cracks. Add a hundred-plus years of settling and Seattle rain, and movement is common in these older homes.
Because most of Queen Anne predates modern seismic codes, many homes also aren't bolted to their foundations. Between settling, water, and earthquake risk, an inspection gives you a clear picture of what your historic home actually needs.

Foundation repair in Queen Anne, answered
Absolutely — they're a specialty. We re-level, pier, and waterproof older hill homes while preserving their character, and we handle the permits a historic home sometimes requires.
On a steep hill, uneven settling tilts floors and racks door frames. Piering and re-leveling bring the home back toward level and stop the movement that caused it.
If it takes on water or smells damp, yes. Old hillside basements collect groundwater; interior drainage and a sump pump turn them back into dry, usable space.
