Why Proper Foundation Work Matters in Fargo
North Dakota's climate challenges foundations in ways that don't happen in milder regions. Our frost line sits at 5 feet deep, meaning footings need to go down far enough to avoid heaving during freeze-thaw cycles. The expansive clay soil common in Fargo also shifts with moisture changes, which puts stress on poorly built foundations.
Site Preparation and Grading
We start every foundation project by properly grading the site and excavating to the correct depth. Good drainage prevents water from pooling around your foundation, which protects against frost heaving and basement moisture issues. We compact the base material in layers to create a stable platform that won't settle unevenly.
Reinforcement and Concrete Mix
Your foundation needs the right reinforcement to handle structural loads and resist cracking. We use rebar and wire mesh as specified for your project type. We also mix concrete to the proper strength rating for foundation work. This isn't the same mix we use for driveways or patios, it's stronger and designed specifically for structural applications.
Proper Curing Time
Foundation concrete needs adequate time to cure before you build on it. We protect the concrete during curing and advise you on the right timeline for your project. Rushing this step leads to weak spots and cracks. We also offer concrete repair services if you have existing foundation issues that need attention.
