Concrete Slab & Foundation Work

Your Foundation Determines Everything

Every building project starts with a solid foundation. Whether you are building a new home, adding a garage, or constructing a shed, the quality of your concrete slab or foundation determines the stability and longevity of the entire structure. This is not the place to cut corners or hire inexperienced contractors.

Here in Titusville, foundation work requires specific knowledge of local soil conditions, water tables, and building codes. Florida's sandy soil and high moisture levels present unique challenges that must be addressed during the design and installation process. We have the expertise to handle these conditions and deliver foundations that perform flawlessly for decades.

Foundation Solutions for Every Project

We handle all types of slab and foundation work. Slab-on-grade foundations are the most common in Florida and work well for most residential and light commercial buildings. These monolithic slabs combine the foundation and floor into one continuous pour, providing excellent stability and cost efficiency.

For heavier structures or challenging soil conditions, we install stem wall foundations with thickened edges and proper footings. These provide additional support and work well for garages, workshops, and commercial buildings. We also pour equipment pads and specialized slabs for HVAC units, generators, pool equipment, and other heavy machinery.

Garage slabs require special attention because they need to support vehicle weight while providing proper drainage. We install these thicker than standard patio slabs and make sure the slope directs water out of the garage, not into it. We can also add floor drains if you plan to wash vehicles inside.

How We Build Foundations Right

Foundation work starts with careful site evaluation and preparation. We test soil conditions, identify the water table level, and plan for proper drainage. This information determines the excavation depth, base material needed, and reinforcement requirements.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. We dig to the proper depth, ensuring the excavation is level and square. Then we install and compact a gravel base that provides stability and drainage. This base must be perfectly level because any errors here multiply as construction continues above.

We then install reinforcement, plumbing penetrations, and formwork. Rebar placement follows engineering specifications to provide the tensile strength concrete needs. We coordinate with plumbers and electricians to ensure all utilities are properly positioned before we pour.

The concrete pour happens next. We use quality ready-mix concrete delivered fresh to your site. Our experienced crew works quickly to place, level, and finish the concrete before it begins to set. After pouring, proper curing is essential. We protect the new concrete from rapid moisture loss and temperature extremes to ensure it reaches full strength.

Code Compliance and Inspections

All foundation work in Titusville requires permits and inspections. We handle this entire process for you. Our work meets or exceeds all local building codes, and we schedule required inspections at the appropriate stages. You never have to worry about compliance issues or failed inspections.

Building codes exist to ensure safety and longevity. They specify minimum standards for concrete strength, reinforcement, thickness, and installation methods. Some contractors cut corners on these requirements to save time or money. We never do. Your foundation work will be done right, inspected properly, and built to last.
