T-Shaped Foundations
The T-shaped foundation is the most common type of foundation used in areas where the ground freezes, and it's essential to maintain its footing below frost line. Experts lay up a concrete slab that can be as thick or thin depending on how deep you want your footings to go before adding walls for stability.
If we want the walls to be as strong and stable as possible, it's best that they rest on a solid T-shaped foundation. This way, there will be plenty of room for support beams underneath the wall and within its structure. We can start construction after laying down our sturdy base by filling in gaps with concrete or gravel so nothing is able to go through them before they set properly!

The foundation will be made on a slab-on-grade basis. This type of concrete is best suited for areas where the ground does not freeze during winter, making it perfect in cold climates like Canada!
In order to construct a sturdy foundation, many people will pour concrete slabs that are typically several inches thick. They reinforce the slab with rods at its edges for added stability and strength.
Our San Antonio construction team is highly skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to pouring concrete slabs. We always prep the ground before pouring, ensuring we take precautions like laying down crushed gravel under a bed of sand for added protection against cracking during freezing temperatures or moisture fluctuations. To make sure our work lasts as long as possible, we also include casting wire mesh in the slab that will hold up through any environmental changes you might face outside your home!
Frost-Resistant
If your house is in a cold area, you need to ensure the footing won't freeze. Frost-protected foundations prevent this from happening by keeping it at an above freezing temperature all year round.
We often think that we should insulate our homes from inside out but what about outside-in? A great way to do this is with using an extra sheet or two of polystyrene which works like those fridge icicles!
This foundation type is specifically designed for areas prone to ground icing. It prevents the house from sliding around by keeping it on top of a concrete slab, which provides an even surface and keeps moisture away from your home's structure when you live in an area that often freezes over during winter months.
