Concrete Foundations & Slab Construction Sacramento CA | Structural Excellence
Structural foundations meeting California Building Code handling Sacramento expansive clay soils. Pro Concrete Contractors Sacramento specializes foundation slab construction throughout Sacramento County.
Why quality foundations matter
- Load Distribution: 6-inch footings with proper reinforcement evenly spread loads and reduce settlement.
- Crack Control: Accurate rebar sizing and spacing prevent random cracking and increase durability.
- Secure framing connection: ½-inch anchor bolts embedded 7 inches and spaced ≤6 ft securely tie framing to concrete.
- Climate-smart durability: Air-entrained, weather-resistant concrete improves freeze-thaw strength and longevity.
Our Foundation & Slab Services Sacramento
Slab-on-grade (monolithic or turned-down edge)
The Sacramento standard for homes, garages, shops, and ADUs. We laser-grade the subbase, place vapor barrier, set forms, install rebar or welded wire mesh, and pour a slab with controlled joints to manage shrinkage. Where needed, we add thickened edges under load lines and dowels at connections.
Footings & stem walls
Ideal for sites needing elevated floors or crawl spaces. We excavate continuous footings sized per soils and loads, place two courses of #4 rebar, then form and pour stem walls to elevation. We coordinate anchor bolts and hold-downs per plans.
Grade Beams, Piers & Engineered Slabs
For poor soils, point loads (columns), or expansive-soil strategies. We build grade beams spanning between drilled piers/caissons, install rebar cages, and place high-strength concrete.
Foundation repairs & upgrades
Underpinning & stabilization: Push piers or helical piers for settlement.
Crack stitching & epoxy injection: Structural or non-structural crack repair.
Slab lifting/void fill: Polyurethane injection for sunken areas.
Seismic anchorage upgrades: Additional anchors, straps, and shear details in older homes.
Drainage/waterproofing: Perimeter drains, sump systems, membranes, and positive grading.
