CONCRETE SLAB FOUNDATION

The foundation is the primary structural component of any construction. It is the lowest portion of the structure that comes into touch with the earth and securely distributes all structural weight to the soil. Depending on the load it can handle the foundation is mainly divided into two shallow foundation and deep foundation. Shallow foundations are typically employed for smaller constructions and when the top layer of soil can support the weight distribution. To maintain structural integrity, deep foundations carry the weight down to a layer of substrata bedrock.

The Cheapest type of Foundation.

Because of its inexpensive cost, a concrete slab makes sense for building a house. It is the least expensive and, in comparison, the quickest answer. A skilled workforce can quickly install a concrete slab foundation, and the drying procedure is not much longer.

Let’s start with the most typical foundation in modern home construction, the conventional concrete slab foundation. The word “concrete slab” does a decent job of describing what this foundation is. It’s nothing more than a slab produced by a concrete block. Slabs are normally four to eight inches thick, with steel rods and drainage pipes reinforcing them. The house is erected immediately on top of the foundation once it has been prepared.

Advantages of Concrete Slab Foundations.

Because of its inexpensive cost, a concrete slab makes sense for building a house. It is the least expensive and, in comparison, the quickest answer. A skilled workforce can quickly install a concrete slab foundation, and the drying procedure is not much longer. Another advantage of a slab foundation
is that there is no airspace between the house and the base. As a consequence, mold and termite infestations are out of the question.

The Drawbacks of Concrete Slab Foundations.

Slab foundations, however, are not without flaws. Due to a lack of airflow between the home and the slab, homes constructed on slab foundations are subject to heat. Repairing leaky and broken lines embedded in the slab itself is very difficult. Furthermore, the low-lying structure of slab foundations provides no floodwater protection.
