The Foundation Below Your Foundation
Footings distribute your home’s weight to the soil below. When footings fail, everything above suffers. We install and repair footings for:
New Additions Building an addition? It needs footings matching or exceeding your existing foundation. We ensure proper depth (below frost line), width (based on loads), and integration with existing footings.
Underpinning Projects Underpinning requires new footings beneath existing ones. We pour these in sections, ensuring continuous support while creating greater depth.
Load Increases Adding a second story? Converting to apartments? Increased loads need footing verification and often reinforcement. We assess capacity and strengthen as needed.
Concrete Wall Construction Details
Not All Concrete is Equal
Professional foundation work requires attention to details that affect decades of performance:
Concrete Mix Design
- Minimum 25-30 MPa strength for foundations
- Air entrainment for freeze-thaw resistance
- Low water-cement ratio for durability
- Proper aggregate size for placement
- Admixtures for workability without weakness
Steel Reinforcement Standards
- Vertical bars at proper spacing
- Horizontal reinforcement per engineering
- Adequate concrete cover for corrosion protection
- Proper lap splices and corner details
- Hooks and bends meeting code requirements
Quality Control
- Straight, properly braced forms
- Vibration for consolidation
- No honeycomb or voids
- Proper curing procedures
- Documentation of conditions
These aren’t just technical details - they’re the difference between foundations that last 100 years and those that fail in 20.
Integration with Other Services
Waterproofing Coordination Every foundation project includes waterproofing consideration. New walls get exterior waterproofing during construction. Repairs include crack sealing and drainage improvements.
Underpinning Synergies When underpinning, we often replace deteriorated wall sections. Combining services saves significant cost and ensures comprehensive foundation improvement.
Basement Entrance Creation Adding a basement walkout? We handle the structural modifications, ensuring proper headers and load transfer.
