Concrete Slab & Foundation Work

Why Your Foundation Matters

Your foundation supports everything above it. If it's not level, properly reinforced, or built on stable ground, you'll deal with cracks, settling, and structural problems that cost thousands to fix later. We take foundation work seriously because we know what happens when it's done wrong.

Whether you're building a new home in Farmington, adding a garage, or constructing a shop, your concrete slab needs proper prep, the right mix, and careful attention to local soil conditions. We've worked on foundations throughout the area and understand how to build for long-term stability.

Types of Slabs and Foundations We Install

Different projects need different foundation approaches. Here's what we handle:

• Residential slab-on-grade: A single-pour foundation for homes, perfect for Farmington's climate.
• Garage and shop floors: Thicker concrete with reinforcement to handle vehicle weight and equipment.
• Basement foundations: Poured walls and floors that resist moisture and provide structural support.
• Stem wall foundations: Raised foundations that elevate your structure and improve drainage.
• Post-tension slabs: Advanced reinforcement system for larger buildings that minimizes cracking.

We work with your builder or architect to make sure your foundation meets code requirements and supports your specific project needs.

Our Foundation Installation Process

Foundation work is all about precision. Here's how we do it right:

First, we excavate and grade your site to create a level building pad. We test the soil and compact it properly so your foundation won't settle unevenly. Next, we install a gravel base and vapor barrier to control moisture and prevent concrete from wicking water up from the ground.

We set up forms with laser precision to ensure your slab is level and square. Then we place rebar or wire mesh according to engineering specs. If you're getting a post-tension slab, we install steel cables before the pour.

The concrete pour happens quickly, but finishing takes skill. We screed, float, and finish the surface to exact specifications. After the pour, we protect the concrete and monitor curing conditions. For commercial projects, we coordinate with other trades to keep your build on schedule.

Common Foundation Problems We Prevent

Most foundation issues come from poor site prep or rushing the pour. We've seen slabs that cracked within months because someone skipped the compaction step or used the wrong concrete mix. We've also fixed foundations that settled because the soil wasn't tested first.

When you hire us, you get someone who knows local soil conditions, understands proper drainage, and follows industry best practices. If you already have a damaged slab or foundation, we also provide concrete repair and replacement services to fix the problem before it gets worse.
