-- As part of the update, the company installs concrete footing fundamentals for building projects, designed to protect the base of structures and prevent settlement. Waltz Concrete's expert team can evaluate the soil conditions and determine the most suitable depth, width, and positioning of the foundation concrete.

The company's foundation construction services do more than simply hold the structure of the building together: expert laying of foundations also helps to protect against cold weather, keeps moisture at bay, and helps the building resist the movement of the adjacent soil. Waltz Concrete ensures that the base is properly compacted, the formwork is correctly set up, and that the concrete is free from voids.
The team at Waltz Concrete offers expertise in a range of foundation types. In Michigan, where ground temperatures are often below freezing in the colder months, T-shaped foundations are commonly used to underpin a structure. This places the foundation beneath the frost line while ensuring that the base footing is wider than the wall above for extra protection.
The company can also lay slab-on-grade foundations - a continuous layer of concrete that lies directly on the ground with the edges poured thicker and inlaid with rods to create a more solid footing. Typically the slabs are laid on a bed of crushed gravel to improve drainage while a loop of wire is cast within the concrete to prevent cracking.
For extra protection against the elements, homeowners can choose an insulated foundation. Waltz Concrete inserts two sheets of polystyrene insulation to retain heat from the structure above which holds the temperature of the footings above zero.
