Concrete Foundation Services

American Eagle Plumbing & Construction

Every structure needs a solid foundation on which to stand.

While you could potentially build a structure atop a raised pier or even upon the earth’s surface, the most viable option for most construction projects is a concrete foundation. A concrete slab provides security and stability when constructing a home. Solid concrete foundations are better at resisting water than other foundation materials such as concrete blocks. But your particular situation will determine which type of foundation will work best. The professionals on our team will make sure you get the foundation that works best for your home.

The Benefits of a Properly Installed Concrete Foundation

Pouring a concrete foundation is a job that should always go to professional contractors with the proper tools, knowledge of building codes, and best practices for concrete foundations, along with years of experience. A professional will go above and beyond to ensure the concrete foundation stands the test of time. Your homebuilder will make sure the foundation is properly reinforced and that it keeps out intrusions like radon and excessive moisture. A waterproof membrane and a bed of crushed stone help to keep the first floor dry and prevent water from infiltrating the home. Proper radon abatement techniques while laying the foundation will help to protect your family and ensure your new home passes inspection.

Types of Concrete Foundations

There are a few different types of concrete foundations your homebuilder may choose from when it comes to constructing your home. If the ground is prone to freezing, a T–shaped footing may be installed beneath the frost line and anchored to the concrete slab. A slab–on–grade concrete foundation does not require this particular footing. Rather, it is reinforced at the edges that serve as a stable footing. There is often a bed of gravel beneath the slab for drainage purposes. Welded wire mesh helps to reinforce the slab further. In an unheated building, polystyrene insulation extrudes past the walls of the home to protect from frost. Your contractor can explain which type of foundation is best for your new construction.
