A Strong Start. Concrete Built Around Your Project.
Concrete Foundation Contractor in Franklin County, Ohio
Foundations Plus provides concrete foundation services for residential, commercial, and agricultural construction throughout Franklin County, Ohio. Our work includes cast-in-place concrete, slab-on-grade foundations, retaining walls, and trench footers, coordinating around your building plans and site requirements.
Family-owned and operated since 1978, we bring decades of concrete experience to each project. We work with property owners and builders to establish the scope, coordinate construction stages, and prepare foundations for the work that follows.
Cast-in-Place Concrete
Cast-in-place concrete is poured into forms at the construction site, allowing walls and other concrete elements to follow the project’s specified dimensions and configuration.
We install poured concrete walls for basements and other building applications, focusing on accurate layout, form alignment, reinforcement placement, and specified elevations. Openings, penetrations, and connections need early coordination, so the completed concrete accommodates the building’s requirements.
Our foundation services can also include drainage materials, exterior waterproofing, insulation, and backfilling within the agreed scope.
Slab-on-Grade Foundations
A slab-on-grade foundation places the concrete floor near ground level over a prepared supporting base. Its suitability depends on the building design, site conditions, and applicable project requirements.
We coordinate preparation and placement around specified slab thickness, reinforcement, edge details, and elevations. Planning also addresses vapor barriers, insulation where required, and plumbing or other components that must be installed before the pour.
Joint layout, finishing, and curing are considered as part of the installation. A general-purpose concrete pad should not be assumed to meet the requirements of a structural foundation.
Concrete Retaining Walls
Retaining walls support soil where ground elevations change. Their design must account for wall height, soil conditions, drainage, and nearby roads such as driveways or buildings.
We construct poured concrete retaining walls according to the project’s plans, coordinating footing preparation, reinforcement, wall placement, and specified drainage provisions. Where engineered design is required, those specifications guide construction.
We discuss access, excavation, and backfilling needs before work begins so you understand the full installation scope.
Trench Footers
Trench footers are concrete footings placed in excavated trenches to support designated building loads. Their dimensions, depth, reinforcement, and suitability must follow the foundation design and site requirements.
We coordinate footer work with excavation, layout, bearing conditions, and required inspections. If unexpected ground conditions appear, they need evaluation before concrete placement proceeds.
