A Good Foundation

Concrete Footer

As with all sound structures, a home needs a good foundation. We start our homes by digging trenches that will be constructed into footers. These trenches are strategically dug in configuration of the homes.

These trenches are then lined with wire and rebar to ensure the proper depth and strength of the concrete, which will soon be the homes base.

The concrete is poured into the trenches at precisely the right depth, using the rebar as a guide. This method has been tried and proven to promote strength and consistency for the footers, which will enable the entire home to be even, level and sound.

Arguably, the footers or base of a home is the most critical in the building process. Done properly, the footer or base will keep the home level for life. Footers constructed incorrectly will allow the home to sink, or sag in areas, thus causing structural damage and loosing the integrity of the building.
