Concrete Slab & Foundation Work

Foundation Work That Lasts

Your foundation is literally what everything else sits on, so getting it right matters more than almost anything else in construction.

How We Build Your Foundation

Foundation work starts with careful site preparation. We evaluate your soil conditions, check for proper drainage, and make sure the ground is stable. In Pueblo's clay soil, this often means additional compaction and sometimes special base materials to prevent settling.

Next comes excavation and grading to create a level building pad. We install proper sub-base materials, typically compacted gravel, that provides stability and drainage. This base layer prevents moisture problems and reduces the risk of cracks from ground movement.

We install the necessary reinforcement, whether that's rebar or wire mesh, according to engineering specifications. Then we set up forms to ensure your slab has the correct dimensions and thickness. After pouring, we carefully finish and cure the concrete using methods that maximize strength. The result is a foundation you can build on with confidence.

Why Foundation Quality Matters

You might not see your foundation once your building is complete, but its quality affects everything above it. An uneven foundation means doors that don't close properly, cracks in walls, and floors that aren't level. Poor drainage around the slab can lead to moisture problems and even structural damage over time.

That's why we focus on getting every detail right during the initial installation. Proper thickness, adequate reinforcement, correct concrete mix, and thorough curing all contribute to a foundation that performs well for the life of your structure. We follow building codes and engineering standards because they exist for good reasons.
