Concrete Foundations & Footings
Strong, properly engineered foundations that give your structure a solid start for decades to come.
Why Your Foundation Matters Most
Your foundation is literally what everything else is built on. Cut corners here and you will deal with problems for the life of the structure. Cracks in walls, doors that will not close, floors that slope, all of these trace back to foundation issues. We take foundation work seriously because we know how critical it is.
Whether you are building a new home, adding a room, putting up a garage, or constructing a shop building, the foundation has to be right. We have poured foundations in Wichita Falls since 2024, working with builders, homeowners, and businesses. We follow engineering specifications exactly and use proven techniques that stand up to Texas soil and weather.
Types of Foundations We Install
Different structures need different foundation types. We handle all the common residential and light commercial options:
- Slab-on-grade foundations for homes and buildings
- Pier and beam foundations with concrete footings
- Stem wall foundations with continuous footings
- Isolated footings for posts and columns
- Grade beams connecting foundation elements
- Garage and shop building foundations
Your engineer or architect specifies which type you need. We read plans, follow specifications, and execute the work correctly. If you are working with a builder, we coordinate with their schedule to keep the project moving.
The Foundation Installation Process
Foundation work starts with proper excavation and soil preparation. We dig to the depth specified, make sure the bottom is compacted and level, and set up forms precisely. Footings usually go in first, sized and placed according to engineering requirements.
Reinforcement is critical in foundations. We install rebar or mesh exactly as specified, with proper spacing, overlap, and support. Concrete placement follows strict procedures for foundation work. We order the right mix design, place it correctly, consolidate it thoroughly, and finish it appropriately.
After pouring, curing is just as important as everything that came before. Foundation concrete needs proper moisture and temperature control while it gains strength. We make sure it cures correctly so you get the full design strength. This is not work you rush.
Working With Local Soil Conditions
Wichita Falls sits on expansive clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement puts stress on foundations. Good foundation design accounts for this with proper depth, reinforcement, and sometimes special techniques like post-tensioning.
We work with local engineers who understand these conditions. Drainage around the foundation also matters. We grade properly so water flows away from the structure, not toward it. These local considerations make the difference between foundations that last and ones that develop problems. If you need other concrete work beyond foundations, we handle that too with the same attention to detail.
