Concrete Slabs and Foundation
Concrete slabs and foundations are the structural components of any building site. Without a strong foundation to build upon, your building will lack stability and strength for other frames or structures to be built on top of it. Using concrete slabs and reinforcements, we’re able to extract and create concrete foundations that can be aligned and formed into the ideal foundation base for your home. Concrete slabs are penetrated into the ground but can also be lifted for added support. They’re then secured in place to avoid shifting, tipping, or moving during building.
Concrete Slabs Concrete slabs are designed with convenience in mind, as they’re poured into flat, block-like structures opposed to concrete flatwork. Concrete slabs make laying larger surfaces quicker to install as the slabs are poured individually and then placed next to each other. For repairs or replacements, concrete slabs can also be repaired using localized techniques, rather than repairing or replacing an entire concrete surface altogether. Concrete slabs, because of their thickness, can apply extensive support and weight to the bottom of your new building structure. |

Foundation
Foundations are the security net that holds your building in place. Built on leveled and prepared land, your foundation is crucial to having a building that is both straight, sturdy, and secure. Since foundations can easily succumb to soil shifting, tilting, or drooping, it is important that the foundation is constructed using solid materials that help keep its shape and form. Many home foundations are raised from the surface and reinforced with concrete slabs or panels that are then surfaced with the home’s floor base. Adding more concrete to solidify the base can also work in place of added flooring. We can also add concrete footings, which help to add bottom strength and balance to the rest of your foundation, as they’re built into the ground to combat soil shifting.
Maintenance
If you’re wondering what type of maintenance is required with concrete, just keep wondering! Concrete is a commonly-suggested building material for foundations because of its low maintenance and high-strength properties. Newly-installed concrete does not require regular upkeep but should be poured by professionals that can ensure its ratio mixture is accurate and drying time is fulfilled. Without these two elements, your concrete has the ability to prematurely crack or crumble, leaving you with a deteriorating foundation before you’ve even begun building.
Durability
Concrete has often been the preferred building material for concreters and contractors alike. This is because of its immense durability and stability. Concrete is a trusted material that can provide many years of use and strength to other structures being built on top of it such as commercial properties or homes. Concrete has been known to withstand and combat heat and water, making it great for outdoor building projects. With our concrete slabs and foundations, you’ll be getting trusted durability that you can count on and with service that is unbeatable. Of course, having durable concrete foundations is much more than sturdy concrete slabs, it means having concrete that can support the weight and pressure of other structures for long periods of time, which we can guarantee.
