This includes proper grading, setting up forms, laying down rebar for strength, and pouring high-quality concrete that meets all local codes.
Our process starts with making sure the site is prepped right. Valley Concrete does not cut corners on excavation or sub-base compaction. Getting the ground solid before we even think about concrete is important for preventing future problems. Then we set up precise forms and tie in the rebar grid exactly as engineered.
In Oak Ridge, you have to deal with our clay soils and the freeze-thaw cycles. That means your Concrete Foundations need to be designed and poured to handle that movement without cracking.

Homeowners often worry about drainage around the foundation. Valley Concrete makes sure the final grade slopes away from your structure, directing water where it needs to go. We also discuss options for foundation waterproofing or damp-proofing during the planning stage, so you do not have surprises later on.
