Concrete Foundation & Slab Services
We handle everything from minor residential additions to major structural pours:
1. Monolithic Slabs
Monolithic slabs combine the slab and perimeter footings into one concrete pour and can be used for projects such as garages, workshops, additions, and other structures where this foundation type is appropriate.
2. Stem Wall & Pier Foundations
Stem wall and pier foundations can be used for projects on sloped lots or where an elevated foundation or crawlspace is needed. We work with the project requirements to provide a properly prepared concrete foundation.
3. Home Additions & Extensions
Adding space to your home? We provide concrete foundation and slab work for residential additions and extensions, including connecting new concrete to existing structures where appropriate.
4. Garage Foundations & Slabs
Build a solid concrete foundation or slab for a new garage, workshop, or similar residential structure.
5. Concrete Slab Installation
Install concrete slabs for residential projects where a slab-on-grade foundation or structural slab is appropriate.
6. Foundation Replacement & Repair
Address damaged or deteriorating concrete foundations and slabs when repair or replacement is appropriate for the project.
Our Concrete Foundation & Slab Process
We treat foundation work with the strict technical precision it demands. Here is our step-by-step process for a flawless structural build:
Step 1: Precision Excavation & Trenching
- What we do: We clear the site, calculate precise elevations, and excavate the footprint, digging deep trenches for load-bearing footings that reach below the local frost line.
- Why it matters: Footings must sit on undisturbed, load-bearing soil to prevent the building from sinking or tilting under its own weight.
Step 2: Formwork, Base Preparation & Utilities
- What we do: We install the necessary forms, prepare the base, and coordinate required sleeves, penetrations, or utility locations according to the project requirements.
- Why it matters: Proper formwork and preparation help establish the correct dimensions, elevations, and layout before concrete is placed.
Step 3: Reinforcement & Pre-Pour Preparation
- What we do: We install required reinforcement such as rebar or wire mesh according to the project specifications and complete the necessary pre-pour preparation.
- Why it matters: Reinforcement is an important part of many foundation and slab projects and helps concrete perform under tensile stresses.
Step 4: Concrete Placement, Finishing & Curing
- What we do: We place the concrete, establish the required elevations, finish the surface according to the project requirements, and follow appropriate curing practices.
- Why it matters: Proper placement, finishing, and curing help the concrete develop its intended properties and provide a finished surface ready for the next stage of construction.
