Excavation:
Once the foundation type is chosen, we do excavation to create a level and stable base. This process may involve removing soil, rocks, or debris.
Footings:
Footings are the load-bearing parts of the foundation, often made of concrete. They distribute the weight of the structure evenly across the soil.
Concrete Pouring:
After the footings, concrete walls or slabs are poured, forming the actual foundation. This is a critical phase that requires precision and proper curing for strength and stability. A home foundation requires a thicker pour of 8-10 inches and a psi of 3,500-4,000. This type of concrete project is usually poured into a wooden frame, trenches, or a combination of the two.
Waterproofing and Insulation:
Depending on the foundation type and local conditions, waterproofing and insulation may be added to protect against moisture and temperature fluctuations.
