The best solution to today's foundation needs is cast-in-place concrete.  Cast-in-place concrete, also known as poured concrete, provide builders and owners with stronger, dryer, better basements than block walls.  The efficient modern construction methods used by Countryside Concrete make poured wall basements cost competitive with block and offer performance that block walls simply cannot match, at a competitive price. 

In terms of strength, poured walls have a comprehensive and flexural strength several times that of block and far beyond the required safety factor of one.  Pouring concrete basements takes considerably less time than block walls and uses 40% more concrete than hollow core block walls.  Water resistance is also superior: the increased strength, density, and joint-free construction of poured walls dramatically reduces basement water problems.  Poured wall construction affords at least twice as much fire resistance protection as hollow core concrete blocks. 

Poured wall techniques are adaptable and offer great design flexibility to most home designs.  Not only is poured wall construction virtually maintenance free, it is resistant to freeze/thaw cycles as well as to rot, decay, rodents, termites and fungi.   Solid concrete wall basements take care of themselves, and you, for years on end.
