18,000 sq ft structural pier/beam foundation with void boxes
This is what we consider one of the toughest but best foundations to build in the coastal areas of Texas. Constantly expanding and contracting clay will have little effect on concrete slab due to void box. There will also be minimal movement due to the fact piers where drilled 14 ft deep.

New home foundation
New home foundation building process
A quality new home foundation pad is essential for home building. If you do not have a solid foundation that is properly installed, you will have cracking, settling, or other damage within just a few years. Protect your investment and choose Volcano Concrete for your foundation pad needs.
Pouring a slab foundations, begins with an expertly prepared pad. Volcano Concrete removes the soft topsoil from your home building site and replaces it with sand and clay fill that creates an ideal base for your foundation. Highly compacted for stability and leveling, this base ensures that you have a solid, secure foundation pad.
Volcano Concrete has top of the line commercial equipment to prepare your building site and pour a foundation that is guaranteed to last.
Pier drilled foundations give your home added security and stability by reaching deeper, firmer ground to base your building upon. Volcano Concrete drills down up to 12’ to reach ground that is unshifting and safe for using as the cornerstone of your foundation. Each poured concrete pier is reinforced with rebar, creating an unmovable foundation that is ideal for home or commercial use.
Once the piers are in place, the foundation is anchored to these strong points. The piers give your foundation added strength over a foundation pad alone. If you are not sure if your building project requires pier drilling for a solid foundation, contact Volcano Concrete for a free consultation.
When you are undertaking a building project of any size, it is essential to coordinate the pouring of your foundation with the design of your home or business. Volcano Concrete pours robust concrete beams for support in areas of your foundation that will be bearing the weight of walls and multiple stories. Without this vital support, foundation damage and an unsafe structure could result.
We work with your general contractor and building designer to develop a foundation form setting plan that will provide ample support for the upcoming structure. You can count on Volcano Concrete to design a structural foundation that is built to last.
For a consultation on your building project, call the experts at Volcano Concrete today.
Rebar setting is the final step before pouring your foundation. The strength of your foundation and building is dependent upon this being done with expert skill. Rebar that is not set within the concrete at the correct level will not provide the required strength and support that is necessary.
Volcano Concrete utilizes expert techniques and modern equipment to ensure that the rebar for each foundation project is ideally placed before concrete pouring. The pouring of concrete is completed within 24 hours of beginning pouring to create a firm, cohesive foundation without gaps, cracks, or other instabilities.
We have been pouring foundations for almost two decades. You can trust your project to Volcano Concrete.
