Slab on Grade vs Traditional Basements

Traditional basements are constructed with a poured concrete footing and foundation wall. This is typically dug around 4 to 5 feet to protect the footing and basement floor from freezing temperatures.

Traditional Basements

    • Increased storage area

    • Potential rental for additional income

    • If finished, can serve as additional space for living

    • Mold, mildew, & flooding problems

    • Moisture and air quality issues

    • Refuge for insects & pests

    • More costly to maintain consistent temperature

    • Costly to finish and furnish

Our slab on grade homes are built with no basement. The foundation and footings are essentially the same, with the difference being the level of the floor slab and land below the floor being un-excavated.

Slab on Grade

    • No mold, mildew, or flooding problems

    • Better indoor air quality

    • No rodents or insects

    • No stairs & hard to access areas

    • Lower environmental impact in the construction process

    • Lower insurance rates

    • Radiant in-floor heat

    • Concrete floor acts as a perfect foundation for flooring

    • No traditional basement
