Tella Firma manufactures and sells a patented new-construction foundation system which protects the structure (home, apartment or commercial building) from damage caused by movement due to active clay soils or seismic activity, giving the owner the assurance of a worry-free foundation that outperforms and outlast any other slab on ground foundation. Typical issues like cracking brick, doors that stick, and costly foundation repairs are virtually eliminated. This engineered foundation system is the next generation in the design of foundations which evolved with reinforcement using re-bar, then to post-tension cables, and now to the advancement of the elevated Tella Firma Foundation.
