Build a Basement with Peace of Mind.
Have you ever thought it would be nice to build a home
with a basement but did not think it was possible in Eastern North Carolina?
Maybe its time to think again!
The fact is, many locations in our area will allow a basement to be constructed.
Historically basements can have problems and most of those problems
come from leaking. With our high water table that becomes even a greater concern.
If you want a basement . . . .we do not recommend traditional construction
methods of building a basement. Instead consider precast concrete wall system
that comes with a guarantee.
When you build with precast foundations/basement walls they are dry, smart, and Superior in every way.
Building using precast foundation wall systems can help increase the value of your
homes by adding valuable additional living space.
The walls are insulated and prepped for wiring and plumbing.
There is also a drainage system designed around the walls.
A footing of crushed stone is used, along with a steel reinforced footer beam.
The purpose of any wall footing is to distribute the wall's load over a sufficiently large area of soil so that the soil bearing capacity is not exceeded. Crushed stone footings accomplish this.
The properly prepared layer of clean crushed stone transfers the load from the wall system to the soil.
