Concrete Foundation
If you are in the process of building a new home and are evaluating which types of material you will be used during building, then it is of great importance to give extra attention to the foundation of your home. You need a strong foundation because you will be building your home and life there. There are so many different options to choose from which all have their own merits. If you stick around long enough, however, we are pretty sure that we can make a compelling argument for why concrete is the best option for you to choose.
Pros
When you consider the fact that concrete slab foundations are one of the most commonly used foundations when building homes, then it begs the question of why concrete is so popular? Well for starters, it is the cheapest option of the lot, and to add to that, it is also the quickest to build. If those reasons aren't enough, then what about the fact that no air can get in between your home and a concrete foundation which completely eliminates the need to worry about termites or mold. If you would like to know more about the pros of concrete foundations then give us a call.
Maintenance
As we all already know, everything that is good in life comes with a little bit of maintenance, some more than others though. Other types of foundations have their own benefits, but most of them require regular maintenance which can end up being quite costly over the years that follow. Concrete on the other hand has basically no maintenance after the foundation has been laid because concrete resists rot and does not decay over time. When you add the longevity of concrete into the mix then it starts to make sense why concrete foundations are so popular.
The Strength Factor
When you really start to think about it, building a home is something that you really need to be done right the first time because the expectation is that the house will last for 100 years plus. This is why strength needs to start from the base upwards, which makes concrete the most suitable choice when considering the other options. Another factor to consider is that other foundational structures can shift when the soil beneath moves, Concrete foundations do not have that problem because of the durability that it offers. After all, a strong and durable home equals a safe home, and that’s all we really want for our families.
