Expert Retaining Wall & Foundation Repair in Seattle
Integral Construction has been a leader in foundation and retaining wall solutions since 1985. Our expertise in challenging access projects stems from decades of innovation, including the development of a proprietary portable drilling rig that enables construction in areas inaccessible to conventional equipment. We specialize in geotechnical and structural engineering services, handling complex permits for environmentally sensitive zones and shoreline areas. Our team has built hundreds of retaining walls across the Puget Sound region, with a proven track record of solving landslide issues where other companies have failed. We combine in-house engineering with patented techniques like helical tieback anchors and soldier pile walls to deliver permanent slope stability solutions for residential and commercial properties.Our commitment to conservative load calculations ensures long-term safety for steep slopes and seismic applications. As a family-owned business, we prioritize integrity in every project, from foundation underpinning to bluff stabilization. Our engineers and contractors collaborate with top professionals in the field to address even the most difficult soil conditions. With no wall failures in our history, we stand by our reputation as the last call for critical structural repairs. Our 24-hour emergency hotline provides immediate support for landslide crises, reflecting our dedication to client safety and satisfaction.

Services
Retaining Wall Repair
Specialized repair of failing retaining walls using helical tieback anchors and injection boring anchors. Our patented portable drilling system enables access to walls other companies deem unrepairable. We handle complete wall reconstruction in environmentally sensitive areas while maintaining structural integrity for both residential and commercial properties.
Foundation Underpinning
Helical pier installation for foundation underpinning in challenging soil conditions. Our low-impact equipment operates in tight spaces and during wet weather moratoriums. We've successfully lifted and stabilized structures ranging from private homes to historic downtown buildings using precision-engineered support systems.
Slope Stabilization
Comprehensive slope stabilization solutions for steep terrain and landslide-prone areas. Our techniques include soldier pile walls, drainage improvements, and buttress fills. We specialize in difficult access sites where conventional equipment cannot operate, with expertise in both temporary erosion control and permanent structural solutions.
Helical Piers Installation
Installation of helical piers for new construction and existing foundation support. Our system provides superior load-bearing capacity compared to traditional jacked piers, particularly effective in seismic zones and areas prone to soil movement. The screw pile design maintains stability during earthquake events and seasonal ground shifts.
Tieback Anchors
Advanced tieback anchor installation using both helical and injection boring methods. Our in-wall termination design eliminates protruding connections while providing maximum lateral support. These anchors meet stringent city testing requirements and are ideal for reinforcing existing walls or supporting new retaining wall construction in critical areas.
