The Basic Steps of Foundation

1.  Lay out- Staking out where the footing is going to go based on the house plan
2.  Dig it-  Preparing the trench footer so that they have smooth sides and base
3. Pour it- The concrete of 2500 PSI minimum will be poured level into the trench footer
4.  Scrape it- Scraping off any excess dirt from the crawl space to ensure proper drainage should water ever infiltrate that area.
5.  Pin it- Concrete nails mark all the outside and inside corners of your foundation to accurate depict the outline of your home.
6.  Lay it-  Block will be installed on top of footer within the pinned area.



...  and now that the block has been laid, get ready for the termite pre-treatment.
