Foundation construction
The foundation is the most critical structural element of any building, supporting the entire weight and transferring loads to the ground. Our foundation services include footings, foundation walls, slabs-on-grade, and frost walls for residential and commercial structures. Every foundation is engineered to meet the specific soil conditions and load requirements of the project.
Proper foundation construction requires understanding soil conditions, groundwater levels, frost depth, and structural loads. We work with structural engineers to ensure foundations are designed and built to meet all applicable building codes and provide long-term stability.
Types of foundations
Basement foundations provide additional living or storage space below grade with poured concrete or concrete block walls. These foundations require proper waterproofing, drainage, and insulation for below-grade spaces. Footings must extend below the frost line to prevent frost heave damage.
Slab-on-grade foundations are concrete slabs poured directly on prepared ground, commonly used in warmer climates and for garages. These foundations require proper base preparation, vapor barriers, and reinforcement. Crawl space foundations provide access to plumbing and electrical systems below the living space.
Foundation repair
Foundation problems can develop over time due to soil settlement, water damage, tree roots, or construction defects. Common signs of foundation issues include cracks in walls, doors and windows that stick, uneven floors, and gaps around exterior doors. Early intervention prevents more extensive damage and costly repairs.
Foundation repair methods include underpinning, helical piers, slab jacking, and carbon fiber wall reinforcement. Our team evaluates the cause of the foundation problem and recommends the most effective repair approach for your specific situation.
Waterproofing and drainage
Proper waterproofing is essential for below-grade foundations to prevent water intrusion that can damage finishes, create mold problems, and compromise structural integrity. Waterproofing systems include exterior membrane coatings, drainage boards, and interior drainage systems with sump pumps.
Foundation drainage systems direct water away from the foundation to prevent hydrostatic pressure that can cause leaks and structural damage. We install perimeter drains, French drains, and gutter downspout extensions as part of a comprehensive foundation water management system.
