Concrete Foundations in Crestwood, IL

Of everything that goes into an addition or a garage, the foundation is the one piece you cannot easily fix later. If it settles or goes out of square, the framing, drywall, windows and roof all inherit the problem. That is why we approach foundation work with drawings in hand and no improvising. We pour footings, foundation walls and slab-on-grade bases for room additions, detached and attached garages, porches and similar structures around Crestwood. The excavation goes below the frost line so winter ground movement cannot lift the footings. We look carefully at the soil we are bearing on; the clay common around here can be soft when wet, and a footing on soft clay is a problem waiting to happen. Rebar is sized and placed per the plan and tied so it holds position during the pour. Walls get checked plumb and square. Bolts, sleeves and openings land exactly where the drawings show. We coordinate inspection timing with your builder, and we give an honest schedule. If the weather is wrong for a pour, we would rather move the date than put a foundation at risk.
