There are many different types of foundations one could build a house on, however, the most common home foundations in Colorado are built using poured concrete walls. They are constructed on either drilled caissons or footers, depending on the soil and topography. They can vary in height from crawl spaces to full basements and beyond. You can even build insulation into the structure by using insulated concrete forms otherwise known as “ICF”. Throughout the US, foundation structures must extend below the frost line, which in most regions in Colorado, is 30 inches (deeper for Mountain towns). Foundations are the conjunction between the supporting soils and the house. They primarily provide support for vertical loads from the weight of the house but help also provide resistance to horizontal forces. Many variables need to be addressed when deciding on your foundation system and in most cases will require a licensed engineer. Variables include geography, soil conditions, loading from structures above, frost depths, decay exposure and others. Next week we discuss and showcase a foundation build on drilled caissons.

What to do when you’ve lost a home or structure in a wildfire.

Wildfires have become a more common reality and nuisance for so many Coloradans while dealing with extreme smoke, displaced animals and major road detours.

Vibrating concrete is a crucial step on many concrete projects. When you pour a concrete wall, it will create large air bubbles that can weaken the wall. When vibrating a wall you should always make sure that all of the concrete is exposed to the vibration.

There are two most common methods of applying sealers to driveways. Solvent-based sealers are best spray applied and water-based sealers are best applied by a roller. Always strive for maximum coverage when spray applying or rolling. The coverage rate is about 250 to 300 square feet. Applying two thin coats is best, making sure the sealer does not form uneven or puddle the thick areas. Once the driveway is sealed you are still committed to regular maintenance. This consists of a good soap and water cleaning, followed by a light re-application of the same sealer as needed. Keep in mind that choosing the right sealer and applying it properly will extend the life of your concrete!
