Why Foundations First of Idaho?
Choosing the right foundation repair company means choosing peace of mind. Our team of experienced professionals serves the unique needs of Treasure Valley homes and businesses. We understand how Idaho’s clay-rich soil, winter freezes, and spring thaws create foundation stress that other regions don’t face.
We’re locally owned and operated, which means we’re part of this community. We see the houses we repair every day. We know the neighborhoods, the soil conditions, and the challenges specific to foundations in this area. That local knowledge shapes how we work.
When you call us, we respond fast. We provide free estimates so you understand exactly what your foundation needs before any work begins. We offer financing options to make repairs accessible when you need them most. Every project comes with an extended warranty because we stand behind our work for the long term.
Our team holds professional certifications from the American Shotcrete Association, the American Concrete Institute, and the Post-Tensioning Institute. These aren’t just credentials. They represent ongoing training, proven techniques, and a commitment to quality that protects your home.
Foundation Repair Services We Provide
Foundation Repair
Foundation repair is our core service. We assess settling, movement, and damage to your foundation and design repairs that restore strength and stability. Our crew uses proven repair methods and quality materials so your structure rests on solid support again.
Crawl Space Repair
Trouble in the crawl space often leads to trouble in the rest of the home. Moisture, wood damage, and poor support under the floor show up as soft spots, odors, and comfort issues. We identify and repair crawl space problems so the structure above stays healthy and comfortable.
Crack and Void Repair
Cracks and voids in concrete weaken the foundation and let water and pests enter. We repair cracks and fill voids to restore the integrity of the concrete and help protect against further damage. Our goal is a stable, continuous surface that supports the structure the way it should.
Wall Stabilization
Bowing or leaning walls are a serious sign of movement and pressure around your foundation. Our wall stabilization services use established methods to support and stabilise those walls so they perform as intended and help protect the rest of the structure.
Earthquake Retrofit
In our region, earthquake forces place extra stress on foundations and framing. Earthquake retrofitting strengthens the connection between your home and its foundation and repairs existing issues related to seismic activity. This proactive work improves the way your building handles future events.
Waterproofing Services
Water is one of the biggest threats to a foundation. Our waterproofing services focus on keeping water away from your structure and directing it to a safe discharge point. We use durable materials and well planned drainage so the area around your foundation stays as dry as local conditions allow.
Sump Pumps
A sump pump gives water a place to go. We install and service sump pumps that remove collected water from around your foundation and direct it away from the home. The result is a drier, more stable environment under and around your structure during wet seasons.
French Drains
French drains help manage groundwater and surface water so it does not sit against your foundation. We design and install French drain systems that collect and redirect water away from the structure, which supports the work of your waterproofing system and helps protect the foundation.
Helical Pile Installation
When your foundation needs deep, reliable support, helical piles provide a proven solution with minimal disruption to your property.
These steel shafts with helical bearing plates are screwed deep into stable soil, offering immediate load-bearing capacity for foundation stabilization, settling structures, and new construction projects.
At Foundations First Idaho, we bring specialized expertise to every helical pile installation. Co-owner Mike Burrows has extensive experience in helical pile systems from his marine construction background, and we partner with Chance Helical—an industry leader—to ensure superior product quality and long-lasting performance.
Unlike traditional foundation methods requiring extensive excavation, helical pile installation is fast, clean, and completed in days rather than weeks. With over 40 years of combined experience, locked bids with no hidden fees, and a commitment to service over sales, we deliver foundation solutions you can trust.
Contact us today for your free estimate and discover why homeowners, contractors, and engineers throughout Boise, Meridian, the Treasure Valley area, and surrounding areas rely on Foundations First Idaho for helical pile installations.

Lehi, Daniel, and Josselynn crew were fast and efficient they fixed a bunch of small issues and made sure to go over everything and explain the process and reasoning. They even took time to double check some other cracks that i noticed in my garage! Would hire again.
Heather G
It was a pleasure working with Foundations First. We needed to shore up our house from years of erosion and delayed maintenance. Foundations First installed helical piles and advised us on bolting down for earthquakes without trying to sell expensive services. Absolutely recommended.
