Poured concrete walls are a lot stronger than cinder block walls. They don't have joints like the ones found between blocks. Poured concrete walls have excellent resistance to underground lateral pressure imposed by the soil and water. It is the reason why engineers and architects are turning towards them in increasing numbers. A poured wall does not feature joints like in a cinder block wall, and it is less prone to leak years after construction. There will be resistance against premature leaking or cracks. Poured concrete walls are not restricted to the same limitations as cinder blocks. Concrete can pour into any shape and size. Poured cement is perfect for every type of foundation. When you build a new home, your main priority should be to create the strongest and safest foundation possible. Poured concrete walls have become the first choice of homeowners and builders. They are easy to construct and durable.
A retaining wall is simply a concrete structure built onto your property to keep soil, rocks, hardscaping, and landscaping features in their proper place. Retaining walls are typically installed in places where your landscape needs extra support to prevent soil from washing downhill. And retaining walls can do a lot to improve your property's safety, longevity, and appearance. They can even protect you from an unnecessary lawsuit.
Footings are vital to the construction of any foundation. They are usually made up of concrete with rebar reinforcement filled into an excavated trench or form. The purpose of footings is to prevent settling and give support to the foundation. Concrete footings are essential because so many areas of the city have soft soil. The erection of footings is prescribed by the professionals who test the soil type and estimate the appropriate depth and width as well as the proper placement of the concrete footings. The type and size of the structure also influence the kind of footing to be installed. Precise positioning of the footings is critical to the stability of the concrete foundation and the structure that will be built on it. There are varying uses of concrete footings for a range of projects including pergola, deck, retaining wall and other types of construction. We can help you in all services related to concrete footings.
