Concrete Slab Services |

Most houses
have a foundation that supports floors
and load-bearing walls which consist of
a footing, walls, and then the floors.
Some are built on a concrete slab that
provides a base for the structure, the
Basement, and a floor for the garage.
Some houses that do not need a basement
level are built using concrete piers,
such as vacation homes by water.
Concrete slabs are used in both
residential and commercial types of
buildings. There are different types of
concrete strengths depending on the use
of the slab. A foundation is poured
concrete that is raised and makes the
perimeter of the house so that the house
can then be built up from it. In the
colder climates, hot water and additives
are put in the concrete to make it dry
and harden correctly. A good foundation
and slab is a very important part of a
house as it supports all of the weight
from the structure on top of it.
Sometime steel is added to both the
foundation and the slab to make it
stronger. |
