Foundations
Foundations, Footings & Crawl Spaces
The part of the house nobody sees and everyone depends on. We build foundations the way they're supposed to be built — proper rebar, proper depth, proper time.
A foundation is not the place to cut corners. We've poured footings with full rebar cages for an apartment complex in Charlotte where the load demanded it, and we've poured residential footings where homeowners wanted the same care given to their single-family home. The standard doesn't change — what changes is the scale.
We dig to the right depth, set the rebar to the right schedule, vibrate the pour to eliminate voids, and let it cure on the right schedule for the weather. That last part matters in Carolina summers and winters more than people realize — concrete that cures too fast in heat or freezes mid-cure in winter loses strength permanently.
Crawl spaces are their own job. A wet crawl space is a slow-motion problem — the wood frame above it, the HVAC, the air quality in the house, all suffer. We build crawl spaces dry from day one, and we encapsulate and waterproof existing ones to fix problems that have been quietly developing for years.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Do you do foundations for new construction?
Yes — full foundation packages including footings, CMU or poured walls, slabs, and waterproofing. We coordinate with your GC, framer, and inspector so the timing works.
Can you do commercial-scale foundation work?
Yes. We've poured footings and built CMU foundations for an apartment complex in Charlotte with heavy rebar requirements. We have the crew and equipment for larger jobs.
What's the difference between CMU and poured concrete foundations?
CMU (concrete block) foundations are built up block by block and reinforced with rebar and grout in the cores. Poured concrete walls are formed and poured as a single mass. Both are strong when done right; the choice often comes down to budget, schedule, and what's typical in your area. We do both and can recommend what's right for your project.
Do you waterproof crawl spaces?
Yes — full encapsulation, vapor barriers, drainage, and proper grading on the exterior. If your crawl space is wet now, we'll diagnose why before quoting a fix.
