5 Most Common Types of Home Foundations
LOS ANGELES, CA: A foundation repair and construction company, Julian Construction (https://julianconstruction.com), is informing homeowners on the five types of home foundations.
Today, there are a large number of foundation types and most of these foundation types are determined based off a region’s climate and construction method. While it could be beneficial to know all of the different foundation types, there are five most common foundation types that all homeowners should know about. The five different types of home foundations include:
- Poured concrete foundation. This is the most common type of home foundation and is formed by pouring a few inches of concrete with thicker edges.
- Permanent wood foundation. This type of foundation is most popular in northern parts of the country where the basement is on a concrete floor and is framed with pressure treated wood.
- Raised foundations. This type of foundation is best for areas that receive large amounts of rain.
- Basement foundation. This type of foundation is to provide living space or storage and usually has more headroom than a crawlspace.
- Crawlspace foundation. This type of foundation is similar to a basement foundation, however it has less headroom and is used where there is heavy clay content in the soil.
