New Foundation Construction for Additions, ADUs & Garages.

Most foundation problems we are called to repair were designed in, not worn in. A footing sized for the wrong soil, a stem wall with no drainage plane behind it, a slab poured without a capillary break, backfill that traps water against the wall it is holding. These are decisions made in the first week of a build that a homeowner pays for two decades later.

We build new foundations for additions, accessory dwelling units, detached garages, shops and outbuildings, and we size them to the actual conditions rather than to a standard detail. That means the soil you have, the load you are putting on it, the water table and surface water on your lot, and how the new structure ties into whatever it is being attached to. Connecting a new footing to an existing one badly is its own category of future repair.

Every pour gets the things that are invisible once the building is up and impossible to add later: correctly placed reinforcement, a drainage plane and footing drain, a capillary break under slabs, proper anchorage for the framing above, and backfill that drains instead of holding water. The parts nobody sees are the parts that determine whether you ever think about this concrete again.
