Foundation construction in Rowlett, TX involves critical soil analysis, seismic considerations, and compliance with local building codes. Here are answers to common foundation concerns:
We conduct ASTM D4318 soil classification testing and implement pier-and-beam systems with proper pier spacing to prevent foundation movement. Our designs account for the region's characteristic expansive clay that can swell up to 10% when wet.
IBC Chapter 16 requires seismic design for all structures in our region. We implement moment-resisting foundation connections and ensure proper embedment depths to resist wind and seismic forces per ASCE 7 wind load calculations.
We apply ACI 515.1R-recommended waterproofing membranes and drainage systems. Our specifications include gravel drainage layers and perforated pipe systems to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup.
Rowlett requires special inspections per IBC Section 1705 for all foundations over 12" deep. We schedule pre-pour, during-placement, and post-placement inspections with certified special inspectors.
We provide 10-year foundation warranties covering structural integrity, with 2-year workmanship guarantees. Warranties are backed by professional liability insurance and require annual foundation monitoring.
