Why Proper Foundation Work Matters

Cutting corners on foundation work leads to expensive problems down the road. A poorly prepared base can cause settling, cracking, and even structural failure. That is why we follow industry best practices at every step of the process.

We start by evaluating your soil conditions and drainage patterns. Clay soil, common in Ohio, requires special attention because it expands when wet and shrinks when dry. We account for this movement by using proper base materials and reinforcement. Our team also ensures correct depth for frost protection, which prevents heaving during winter freeze-thaw cycles.

We use the right concrete mix for your specific project. Foundation concrete requires different characteristics than driveway concrete. We specify the correct strength, slump, and admixtures to ensure your foundation meets or exceeds building code requirements. We also place steel reinforcement according to engineering specs for added strength and crack resistance.

Our Foundation Installation Process

Every foundation project begins with site preparation. We excavate to the proper depth, removing unsuitable soil and organic material. Next, we install and compact a gravel base to create stable support and improve drainage. This base layer is critical for preventing settling and moisture problems.

We then build precise forms to hold the concrete in place and ensure the correct elevation and dimensions. For larger projects, we install vapor barriers and insulation to meet energy code requirements. Rebar or wire mesh reinforcement is placed before the pour to add structural integrity.

On pour day, we carefully place the concrete, ensuring even distribution and proper consolidation. We use specialized tools to eliminate air pockets and achieve the right finish. After finishing, we implement proper curing techniques to develop maximum strength. We can also coordinate with your builder or contractor to ensure the foundation is ready for framing on schedule. Our commercial concrete experience means we handle large projects efficiently.
