A solid foundation is the most critical component of any structure. At Reinforx Bartlett Concrete, we specialize in residential and commercial foundation work that provides the stability and strength your building needs for decades to come. From simple slab-on-grade foundations to complex structural slabs, our experienced team delivers precision engineering and quality construction. We serve builders, contractors, and property owners throughout Bartlett and surrounding communities with foundation solutions that meet or exceed building code requirements.

Residential Foundation Services

Residential foundations must support the weight of the structure while resisting soil movement, moisture, and environmental stresses. We install various types of residential foundations including slab-on-grade, crawl space foundations, and basement foundations. Our process begins with thorough site evaluation to assess soil conditions, drainage patterns, and load requirements. We work closely with engineers and architects to ensure the foundation design meets structural specifications. Proper excavation, base preparation, and reinforcement placement are critical to foundation performance. We use high-strength concrete mixes formulated for foundation applications and employ proven techniques to prevent common issues like cracking and settling.

Types of Residential Foundations We Install

Slab-on-grade foundations for single-story homes and additions
Monolithic slab foundations with integrated footings
Stem wall foundations with crawl space access
Basement foundations with full or partial below-grade space
Garage and shop foundations for detached structures
Foundation repairs and underpinning for existing structures

Commercial Slab Construction

Commercial slabs must meet higher performance standards to support heavy equipment, storage loads, and constant traffic. We have extensive experience with commercial slab construction for warehouses, retail buildings, industrial facilities, and office complexes. Our commercial slabs feature proper thickness, reinforcement, and joint placement to handle anticipated loads and minimize maintenance. We coordinate closely with project managers and general contractors to meet tight construction schedules. Our equipment and crew capacity allow us to handle large pours efficiently. We understand the importance of flatness and levelness specifications for commercial applications and use laser-guided screeds and precision finishing techniques to achieve required tolerances.

Foundation Engineering and Design

Proper foundation design requires understanding of soil mechanics, structural loads, and local building codes. We work with qualified engineers to develop foundation plans that address site-specific conditions. Soil testing helps determine bearing capacity and identify potential issues like expansive clay or poor drainage. Foundation design must account for dead loads from the structure itself and live loads from occupants and contents. In Tennessee, we also consider frost depth requirements and seismic considerations. Our team reviews engineering plans carefully and asks questions to clarify any uncertainties before beginning work. This collaborative approach ensures the foundation performs as designed.

Critical Foundation Components

Properly compacted and graded subbase for uniform support
Vapor barriers to prevent moisture migration from soil
Steel reinforcement sized and placed per engineering specifications
Control joints to manage shrinkage cracking
Proper concrete mix design for strength and durability
Adequate curing to achieve specified compressive strength

Quality Control and Testing

Foundation work demands rigorous quality control to ensure structural integrity. We maintain detailed documentation throughout the construction process. Before pouring, we verify that forms, reinforcement, and embedments are correctly positioned. We test concrete slump and air content to confirm mix specifications. Cylinder samples are taken and tested to verify compressive strength development. We monitor curing conditions and apply appropriate curing methods. Final inspections confirm that the foundation meets all specifications and code requirements. This systematic approach to quality control gives you confidence that your foundation will perform reliably for the life of the structure.
