Concrete Slab & Foundation Work

Your foundation is the most important part of any structure. It supports the entire weight of your home or building, distributes that load evenly across the soil, and protects against settling, shifting, and moisture problems. When your foundation is built right, everything else works. When it is not, you face expensive repairs down the road.

In Haltom City, TX, soil conditions can be challenging. Clay soils expand when wet and shrink when dry, which puts stress on foundations. That is why we focus on proper site preparation, soil analysis, and reinforcement techniques that account for local conditions. We do not just pour concrete and walk away. We engineer your foundation to handle the unique challenges of North Texas.

Whether you are building a new home, adding a room, constructing a garage, or working on a commercial project, we provide foundation and slab work that meets or exceeds building codes. Our team at Pebblebrook Haltom City Concrete brings years of experience to every job, ensuring your structure starts on solid ground.

Different projects need different foundation solutions. Here are the most common types of concrete slabs and foundation work we handle in the Haltom City area.

Common Foundation Types

• Slab-on-Grade Foundations: The most common type for residential homes in Texas. The concrete slab sits directly on the ground with a thickened edge that acts as the foundation. This method is cost-effective and works well in areas without basements.
• Post-Tension Slabs: These use high-strength cables tensioned after the concrete cures to reduce cracking and improve strength. They are ideal for expansive clay soils and larger structures.
• Pier and Beam Foundations: Concrete piers are poured deep into the ground to support wooden beams. We handle the concrete work for these traditional foundations, which provide excellent ventilation and access to plumbing.
• Garage and Shed Slabs: Standalone structures need their own foundations. We pour slabs sized and reinforced for the specific load requirements of your building.
• Addition Foundations: When you add onto your home, the new foundation must match the existing structure while accounting for soil differences. We ensure proper integration so your addition stays level and secure.

We also handle specialized foundation work like retaining wall footings, equipment pads, and commercial slab foundations. No matter what you are building, we can provide the concrete base it needs.

Foundation work requires precision, planning, and attention to detail. Here is how we approach every slab and foundation project to ensure long-lasting results.

Our Professional Process

• We start with a thorough site evaluation, including soil testing and drainage assessment.
• Our team reviews building plans and codes to ensure compliance with all local requirements.
• We excavate to the proper depth and grade the site for optimal drainage.
• A compacted gravel base is installed to provide stability and prevent settling.
• We install vapor barriers to protect against moisture intrusion from below.
• Steel reinforcement, either rebar or post-tension cables, is positioned according to engineering specifications.
• We pour high-strength concrete using professional techniques to eliminate air pockets and ensure even distribution.
• The surface is leveled and finished to precise tolerances required for construction.
• Proper curing procedures are followed to maximize strength and durability.

Foundation work typically takes one to two weeks depending on the size and complexity of the project. We coordinate closely with builders, architects, and inspectors to keep your project on schedule. Weather can affect timelines, but we plan ahead to minimize delays.
