Common Forms of Foundations

• Crawlspace – Normally about three or four feet deep, they contain pillars that are supporting your home. These are typically found in northern regions where the frost line tends to be deeper. A crawlspace can help protect against flooding and keep the building cooler during the summer.

• Basement – A basement is in a way a more advanced form of a crawlspace. They have concrete perimeters and there are pillars used to support them. These are typically installed further north where there are issues relating to freezing and thawing. Since there is not open air, mold and bacteria can create issues.

• Slabs – A foundation that is composed of poured concrete sections that range from four to eight inches in thickness. These are a good option for southern regions where frost lines are shallow. Since it is fairly quick and affordable, it is a very common foundation for homes. Since there is no open air space, there are hardly concerns about mold or bacteria.
