The Crucial Steps of Excavation, Footing, & Foundation
From Ground Up, We specialize in the essential home construction steps: excavation, footing, and foundation. We start by precisely grading and preparing the site, ensuring a stable base. Our expertly designed footings distribute your home’s weight evenly, preventing future settling. Finally, we construct robust foundations, using top-quality materials, waterproofing, and insulation to protect your investment.
Footings are critical to evenly distributing the home’s weight across the foundation and preventing settling or shifting over time. These are typically constructed by pouring concrete into a form or a trench that runs along the perimeter of the building and beneath load-bearing walls.
The foundation is what your entire home rests upon. It must be constructed with precision and care, as any flaws here can lead to significant issues.
Our foundation process typically involves:
- Formwork Construction: Creating molds for the concrete to ensure it’s poured into the correct shape and size.
- Concrete Pouring: Carefully pour concrete into the formwork, ensuring there are no air pockets or inconsistencies.
- Waterproofing: Applying waterproofing measures to prevent water from seeping into the foundation, which could lead to structural damage or mold issues.
