Installing a Foundation for Your Corpus Christi Home

The Importance of a Solid Foundation 

The foundation of your home is one of the most important aspects of the building. It is what keeps your house standing and supports the weight of the entire structure. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that your foundation is installed properly by a qualified professional. 

What a Foundation Contractor will do for you 

Pouring a new foundation is the last step of a major undertaking for new home builders. Here are the preparations involved: 

• Excavate the area around your home. 
• Remove any existing foundations. 
• Install the new foundation by pouring concrete into forms that have been placed in the excavation. 
• Backfill around the new foundation with dirt.
• Wait for the concrete to cure before moving ahead with any further construction on your home. (Depending on the weather conditions, this can take anywhere from 24 hours to 7 days.) 



Each of the preparation steps can be handled by contractor specialists, or you may find an experienced excavation and foundation contractor near you who has the experience and equipment to complete the entire project.
