Common Types Of Foundation Work 

Slab on Grade Foundations
Slab-on-Grade Foundations
The most common in Houston, this cost-effective foundation involves pouring a concrete slab directly onto the ground, reinforced with steel rebar or post-tension cables to resist cracking from expansive clay soils.
Pier and Beam Foundations
Pier and Beam Foundations
Concrete piers support beams, elevating the home for better ventilation and easier access to plumbing and electrical systems. This is common in older homes and areas with unstable soil.
Block and base foundations
Block and Base Foundations
Similar to pier and beam, but with concrete blocks instead of piers. Often found in older homes, it’s a less expensive option but may require more maintenance.
post tension slab foundations
Post-Tension Slab Foundations
A slab-on-grade foundation reinforced with steel cables (tendons) that are tensioned after the concrete sets, offering greater resistance to cracking and soil movement.
