There are many types of foundations to build your property on, but each one has its own advantages. Innovative Foundation Repair will help you choose the right one for your area, and we can install it in a timely manner. We service the entire Dallas-Fort Worth area and have seen and fixed all kinds of foundation problems too. One of the most popular choices in North Texas is a concrete slab foundation. This is one of the most affordable solutions and provides great stability for your home or business. Here are a couple reasons why you should invest in a concrete slab foundation this new year.
Lasts a Long Time
If a concrete slab foundation is well-maintained and designed, it can last over 100 years! That’s right, you may never need to replace the foundation again. With that said, it’s a lifetime investment. All you need to do is provide regular inspections, which Innovative Foundation Repair can do for you. We will ensure that no issues are present, and if they are, we will prevent them from becoming bigger and more expensive problems.
Less Time to Dry
Concrete slabs don’t take that long to dry. Therefore, this allows for a quicker installation process than the other types of foundations. If you are pressed for time, this is a great solution for your property. The construction moves along without delay and you can get back to your daily tasks in a timely manner.
In fact, the entire process only takes about four days if weather conditions don’t interfere. Apart from the preparation work, it only takes one day to pour the entire slab.
Pests Protection
Since there is no crawl space, your property is protected from insect infestations. There are no wooden joists or supports insects can chew on, unlike pier and beam foundations. Likewise, you don’t need to worry about mold or mildew, since there is no space under the slab for it to form.
Affordability
You can save up to $10,000, since you don’t need to budget for a basement or crawl space. Carving a basement out of solid rock is very expensive, but you won’t need to worry about that extra expense. Crawl spaces can cost you hundreds of dollars in heating and air conditioning. And you won’t need to invest in wooden joists, which is another cost saver.
Easy Access into Home
Since a concrete slab foundation is built closer to the ground, you need less steps to enter your home. This provides easy access into your home, especially for those that are physically impaired.
