Block Foundation
Block foundations are usually used for homes that have a basement. An 8 foot foundation hole is dug and a slab pour and re bar system is created as a foundation for the block wall. Once the slab is in place a system of cinder blocks is installed to create the block foundation of the structure. A second concrete pour is then added to create the floor slab.

Poured Foundations

A poured foundation consists of a form that is placed in a dug hole which creates a series of support walls for a structure. A poured foundation requires a stable foundation slab or base like in concrete block foundation applications as well as a re bar system to prevent movement and cracking.
