Foundation Types & Construction

Slab-on-Grade Foundations

Monolithic concrete slabs poured directly on prepared soil, creating single-piece foundations supporting the entire structure. Slab foundations are cost-effective, require minimal excavation, and work well in warm climates. We install post-tension slabs for enhanced crack resistance and traditional reinforced slabs depending on soil conditions and structural requirements.

Pier-and-Beam Foundations

Elevated foundations featuring concrete piers supporting wooden beams and floor joists. This traditional system provides easy access to plumbing and electrical systems, works well on sloped sites, and allows natural ventilation. We construct pier-and-beam foundations using concrete piers, grade beams, and pressure-treated lumber.

Basement Foundations

Full-depth excavations with concrete walls creating below-grade living spaces. Basements provide additional square footage, storage areas, and protection from severe weather. We construct poured concrete basement walls or concrete block walls with proper waterproofing, drainage, and structural reinforcement.

Crawl Space Foundations

Shallow foundations creating accessible spaces beneath homes, typically 18-48 inches high. Crawl spaces provide access to utilities while minimizing excavation costs. We build crawl space foundations with proper ventilation, moisture barriers, and structural support meeting code requirements.

Monolithic Slab Foundations

Single concrete pours combining footings and slab in one piece, creating fast, economical foundations for simple structures. These systems work best on level sites with stable soils and are popular for residential construction.

Post-Tension Slab Foundations

Advanced slab systems using steel cables tensioned after concrete cures, creating stronger, crack-resistant foundations that span problem soils. Post-tension slabs are ideal for expansive clay soils and larger structures requiring enhanced performance.

Foundation Repair Methods

Helical Piers (Screw Piles)

Steel shafts with helical plates screwed deep into stable soil, transferring structural loads to competent bearing strata. Helical piers install quickly with minimal disturbance, can be installed in tight spaces, and provide immediate load-bearing capacity. Ideal for foundation stabilization and lifting.

Push Piers (Resistance Piers)

Steel pier sections hydraulically driven through unstable soils until reaching bedrock or load-bearing strata. Push piers use the structure’s weight for installation, provide high load capacity, and work well for heavy structures. Excellent for permanent foundation stabilization.

Concrete Pressed Pilings

Precast concrete cylinders driven into the ground using hydraulic rams, creating solid support columns beneath foundations. These traditional systems provide reliable support in various soil conditions and are proven over decades of use.

Slabjacking (Mudjacking)

Pumping cementitious slurry beneath settled concrete slabs, hydraulically raising them back to proper levels. Slabjacking is cost-effective for correcting minor settlement, leveling walkways, driveways, and interior slabs. Less invasive than replacement.

Polyurethane Foam Injection

Injecting expanding polyurethane foam beneath slabs, lifting and stabilizing foundations while filling voids. This modern method is lightweight, cures quickly, won’t add load to weak soils, and provides precise leveling control. Excellent for slab foundations.

Wall Anchors & Tie-Backs

Installing steel anchors extending from bowing basement walls into stable soil, pulling walls back to vertical positions. Wall anchors prevent progressive bowing, restore structural integrity, and can often straighten walls significantly. Essential for basement wall stabilization.

Carbon Fiber Reinforcement

Bonding high-strength carbon fiber straps to basement walls, preventing further cracking or bowing. Carbon fiber provides immense tensile strength in thin profiles, installs quickly, and allows finished basement walls. Ideal for walls showing early movement.

Steel Beam Installation

Installing supplemental steel beams and columns supporting sagging floors and compromised structures. Steel reinforcement restores structural capacity, prevents progressive failure, and can be designed for virtually any load condition.
