ButtonTYPES OF CRAWL SPACE FOUNDATIONS WE INSTALL
We offer different types of crawl space foundations, each designed for specific needs and conditions of your property.
Here are the types of crawl space foundations we install:
Pier and Beam Foundations
This type uses vertical piers and beams to create space between the ground and your home. It’s ideal for uneven or sloped land.
Concrete Block Foundations
Concrete blocks are used to form sturdy walls around the crawl space. This option is durable and provides insulation.
Poured Concrete Foundations
A solid, poured concrete wall that offers long-lasting durability and helps protect against moisture.
Vented Crawl Space Foundations
This type allows air to flow through the crawl space to prevent moisture buildup, making it ideal for humid areas.
Unvented Crawl Space Foundations
Sealed to keep moisture out and improve energy efficiency, this type is good for dry areas with good drainage.

OUR CRAWL SPACE FOUNDATION INSTALLATION PROCESS
Installing a crawl space foundation requires careful planning and execution. We follow a straightforward process to make sure your crawl space is properly built to last.

Site Evaluation & Preparation
We assess soil, drainage, and site conditions, then prepare the area for excavation.
Step 2
Excavation & Grading
We excavate to the required depth and grade the site for proper drainage and support.
Step 3
Foundation Construction
We build walls using concrete blocks or pour solid concrete to create a strong, stable foundation.
Step 4
Waterproofing & Drainage
We apply waterproofing materials and install drainage systems to keep the crawl space dry.
Step 5
Backfilling & Grading
We backfill around the walls and grade the soil to ensure proper drainage and prevent settling.
Step 6
Final Inspection & Cleanup
We perform a final inspection and clean up the site, leaving it ready for the next phase.
