Essential Components Of Foundation Repairs

Foundations are an essential component of your construction. The foundation serves as the base for your facility and its equipment. We specialize in equipment foundation concrete as well as concrete for your upcoming construction.

But how can you build world-class foundations for your turn-key project? Here’s a breakdown of some of the many foundation components.

A foundation can be made up of various components—the foundation type and the loads that the foundation must carry influence component selection and installation. Cost and material availability are additional considerations in the selection process.

Vertical loads are transmitted to the earth through footings. Footings in contemporary homes are built of poured concrete. Stone footings may have been used in extremely old homes. Foundations around the house’s perimeter may also be erected at load-bearing areas within the house’s edge.

Some home foundations, particularly crawlspace foundations, may incorporate load-bearing components within the house’s perimeter, such as piers or columns. Piers are often built using concrete masonry pieces (called concrete blocks or cinder blocks). Columns are usually made of wood or steel. Piers and columns should be supported by a footing that is both wide and thick enough to keep the vertical load.

Walls surround the perimeter of the crawlspace and basement foundations. These walls are typically built using concrete masonry modules or wall forms that will be filled with poured concrete. Walls in earlier homes were built with bricks, while walls in extremely old homes may have been made with stone.

A grade beam is a reinforced concrete beam that distributes stress from a bearing wall into separated foundations.
