The Foundation of Every Strong Structure

A properly installed foundation is critical for structural integrity, preventing settling, cracking, and moisture problems. We use proven methods and quality materials to ensure your foundation stays level and stable for the life of your building.

Our foundation work includes soil analysis, proper drainage planning, reinforcement placement, and precision leveling that meets or exceeds building codes and engineering specifications.

Professional foundation installation

Slab-on-Grade Foundations

The most common foundation type in our area. We excavate, compact the soil, install vapor barriers and reinforcement, then pour a monolithic slab that serves as both foundation and floor.

Crawl Space Foundations

We pour perimeter footings and stem walls that elevate your home above grade. This design provides access to plumbing and electrical while protecting against flooding in areas prone to moisture.

Basement Foundations

Full or partial basement foundations with poured walls and floor slabs. We waterproof walls, install drainage systems, and ensure structural integrity for below-grade living spaces.

Precision Leveling

We use laser levels and transit equipment to ensure foundations are perfectly level and square. This precision prevents structural issues and makes framing easier for your builder.

Why Choose Our Foundation Services?

Foundation work is unforgiving—mistakes made during installation can't be easily corrected once the building is up. We bring decades of experience working with Alabama's varied soil conditions, from red clay to rocky terrain, understanding how each soil type affects foundation performance.

We coordinate closely with engineers, inspectors, and general contractors to ensure every aspect meets specifications. Our attention to proper drainage, vapor barriers, reinforcement placement, and curing procedures means your foundation will provide a stable, level base that protects your investment for generations.

Our Foundation Installation Process

1. Site Evaluation & Planning

We review building plans, survey the site, and assess soil conditions. We coordinate with engineers if soil tests or specialized designs are required for your location.

2. Excavation & Site Prep

We excavate to proper depth, removing topsoil and unstable material. The excavation is graded for drainage and compacted to provide a stable base for the foundation.

3. Forms & Reinforcement

We install precision forms, vapor barriers, and steel reinforcement per engineering specifications. Plumbing and electrical rough-ins are coordinated before the pour.

4. Concrete Pour

We pour quality concrete, work it to eliminate voids, and finish to exact levels. Proper consolidation around reinforcement ensures maximum strength and durability.

5. Curing & Inspection

We protect the foundation during curing and coordinate required inspections. Once approved, we strip forms and backfill, ensuring proper drainage away from the foundation.

Foundation Work FAQs

What type of foundation is best for my project?
It depends on your site conditions, budget, and building type. Slab-on-grade is most economical for level sites. Crawl spaces work well for sloped lots and provide access to utilities. We'll assess your site and recommend the best option.
How long does a foundation take to cure?
Concrete reaches initial set in 24-48 hours, allowing light construction activity. Full strength develops over 28 days, though framing can typically begin after 7 days. We'll coordinate timing with your builder's schedule.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We coordinate all required permits and inspections for foundation work. We work closely with local building departments and inspectors to ensure compliance with all codes and engineering specifications.
What if my site has poor soil conditions?
We can work with engineers to design solutions for challenging soil, including deeper footings, additional reinforcement, or soil stabilization. Proper site preparation and engineering prevent future settling and structural issues.
