Concrete Slab & Foundation Work

Why Foundation Work Matters

Your foundation carries the entire weight of your home, shed, garage, or any other structure you build. If the foundation is not level, strong, or properly poured, you will have problems down the line. Cracks, settling, and structural damage can cost thousands to fix later, so getting it right the first time is critical.

In DeKalb County, soil conditions vary from lot to lot. Some areas have clay soil that shifts when it gets wet, and other areas have sandy soil that does not compact well. We take the time to evaluate your site, prepare the ground properly, and pour a slab that will not move or crack over time.

Whether you are building a new home, adding an addition, or putting up a storage building, we have the experience to handle foundation work of any size. We work with DeKalb County contractors and follow local building codes to make sure everything is done right.

Types of Slabs We Pour

Residential Foundations

We pour concrete slabs for new homes, additions, and sunrooms. These slabs are designed to support the full weight of your structure and keep it level for decades. We install proper reinforcement, vapor barriers, and drainage systems to protect against moisture and settling.

Shed and Garage Slabs

If you need a slab for a storage building, workshop, or detached garage, we can handle that too. These slabs are typically thinner than house foundations but still require proper grading and compaction. We make sure the slab is level and strong enough to support whatever you plan to store inside.

Equipment Pads

HVAC units, generators, and hot tubs all need a solid, level surface to sit on. We pour equipment pads that are sized correctly and reinforced to handle the weight. These pads also help with drainage and keep your equipment off the ground where moisture can cause problems.

How We Prepare and Pour Your Slab

Foundation work is not something you can rush. We follow a step-by-step process to make sure your slab is built to last.

• •Site evaluation: We inspect the soil, check for drainage issues, and make sure the grade is correct before we start.
• •Excavation and grading: We dig out the area, remove any organic material, and compact the soil so it will not settle later.
• •Base layer: We add a layer of gravel or crushed stone to provide drainage and a stable base for the concrete.
• •Vapor barrier and reinforcement: We lay down a moisture barrier and add rebar or wire mesh to prevent cracking.
• •Pouring and finishing: We pour the concrete, level it, and finish it with a smooth or broom texture depending on your needs.
• •Curing: We protect the slab while it cures so it reaches full strength before you start building on it.

Every step matters, and we do not cut corners. You can count on us to deliver a foundation that will support your project for years to come.
