What it is, and why it matters.
Everything above a masonry foundation depends on it being level, strong and dry. A wall that is off by half an inch at the footing can mean framing headaches through the whole house.
We build block and brick foundation walls, crawl space walls and piers for new homes and additions in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. We coordinate with your builder, engineer and inspector so the foundation is ready when the framers arrive.
Four things done right.
Level to the sixteenth
A laser and a careful hand keep the top of the wall level for the framing.
Reinforced to plan
Rebar and grout follow the engineer's plan or the code.
A brick ledge that works
The ledge for the veneer is set correctly so brick can carry its own weight.
Ready for inspection
We work with the inspector and your builder so the schedule keeps moving.

Block and Brick Foundations: common questions
Do foundations need to be waterproofed?
Below-grade masonry should be damp-proofed or waterproofed and drained, so moisture does not wick into the house. We follow the plan and the local code.
Can you build a foundation for a brick home?
Yes. A brick home needs a foundation wall with a ledge or shelf wide enough to carry the veneer. We build it to the plan and coordinate with the builder.
