Strong foundations and footings that support your structure for a lifetime.
Your foundation is literally what everything else sits on. A weak or poorly built foundation leads to cracks, settling, and structural problems that cost thousands to fix later. Whether you're building a new home, adding on to your house, or constructing a garage or pole barn, the foundation needs to be done right.
At GG Gary Concrete Works, we pour foundations and footings that meet or exceed local building codes. We understand Gary, IN soil conditions and know how to build foundations that stay solid through our freeze-thaw cycles and weather extremes.
These are the most common for homes and larger structures. We excavate, build forms, add reinforcement, and pour concrete walls. The result is a strong, waterproof foundation that lasts for generations.
Strip footings run under exterior and load-bearing walls. They distribute the building's weight across a wider area to prevent settling. We dig below the frost line and pour reinforced concrete footings sized correctly for your structure.
This combines the foundation and floor slab into one pour. It's cost-effective and works well for garages, pole barns, and homes without basements. We thicken the edges to create integrated footings.
Adding to your home? We pour foundations for garage additions, room additions, and detached structures. We match the depth and style of your existing foundation to ensure proper support.
Here's how we build foundations that last:
We coordinate with building inspectors at every required stage. Your foundation will pass inspection because we follow the code and build it right.
Footings are the wide concrete bases under walls and columns. They spread the load so your structure doesn't sink into the ground. Without proper footings, walls crack and buildings settle unevenly.
We size footings based on your soil conditions and structure weight. Clay soil needs wider footings than sandy soil. Two-story buildings need bigger footings than single-story. We calculate what you need and build it accordingly. Similar attention to detail goes into all our concrete slab work and masonry projects.
