Since foundations serve as the base of strength and stability, house foundation construction is a job we take seriously. ECC Construction Group Inc. is a commercial and residential concrete forming company that offers professional foundation services in Toronto and the GTA.
There are two types of house foundations out there: slab-on-grade and below-grade foundations. Each type can be considered based on geotechnical analysis that determines the soil bearing capacity, frost lines, and other important factors. ECC Construction Group Inc. has the technical expertise, experience, and manpower to build any foundation type for your custom home. No matter what size the foundation walls whether its a multi level residential properties or a large scale residential development, we can make it happen.
Most concrete cracks boil down to a poorly done foundation
The foundation is arguably the most important part of every house. Because majority of the concrete work that we do are for the custom homes that we frame afterwards, we put in a great amount of planning and effort into their construction from the day we form the foundation walls, until we pour the concrete. Without a solid base, a new house can be easily compromised—this can cost you a lot of money down the road for repairs. The most common signs of poorly done foundation work are visible vertical or horizontal cracks on the concrete walls, and wrong sizing of the basement window openings. Horizontal cracks are the most serious and you can be certain that you will have water seepage problems in the future. Proper construction practice by a reputable professional foundation company can go a long way and it is the most effective preventative measure.
Why do you need a professional residential foundation contractor?

Which is why only professional residential foundation contractors are qualified for the job. We have the resources and experience to undergo residential concrete forming needed for foundation walls of any height. If not done correctly, it can lead to soil settlement problems and water seepage.

How ECC Construction Group Inc. does house foundation
In order to mitigate potential problems, our expertise allows us to effectively identify and correct any deficiencies before concreting. Since a poured concrete foundation can only be effective if concrete forming is done correctly, spotting any deficiencies from the start gives us a good insight on how to proceed. On the day of pour, ready-mix trucks bring 25 MPa concrete on the job site. Depending on the site condition and size of the project, we can either use a pump truck with an extended boom hose, or a trailer pump for jobs with easier access. However, if the foundation design requires precise concreting, we only use a pump truck with an extended boom hose for precise reach. This precision allows us to fill the forms quite easily, as smoothly and evenly as possible.
