At E-Z Masonry Inc, we specialize in working with concrete masonry units (CMUs) for a wide range of applications, including foundations, garage bases, partition walls, and additions. Our experienced masons are trained in the proper techniques for placing standard, lightweight, and decorative blocks while ensuring the correct installation of both vertical and horizontal reinforcement. Whether we’re retrofitting structural members to modify existing openings or repairing damage, we’ve got you covered.
Footings: The Foundation Beneath It All
A strong structure starts with a solid footing, and at E-Z Masonry Inc, we understand that footings are essential to the stability and longevity of any above-grade construction. Proper footings help distribute concentrated loads and protect against frost damage, ensuring the overall integrity of your home or addition. Before installation, we assess the soil conditions to determine the ideal size, spread, and placement of your footings. In cases of questionable or challenging soils, we consult with soil engineers to guarantee the best possible foundation for your project.
Excavation & Precision
We provide complete excavation services to ensure that our footings meet the highest standards of construction. Whether we’re installing frost piers for decks, spread footings for additions, or grade beams for pilings, we take great care to minimize the risk of settling and ensure long-term durability. Our team understands the importance of maintaining undisturbed, virgin soil at the bottom of each footing, which is critical for providing the necessary structural support. We use laser technology to accurately measure excavation depth, preventing over-digging and avoiding soil disturbance that could compromise bearing capacity.
Reinforcement & Attention to Detail
In addition to expert excavation, we ensure proper reinforcement is used in all our blockwork. This includes the placement of vertical and horizontal reinforcements to enhance the strength and stability of walls and other structural elements. Our team is also skilled in toothing in damaged areas and seamlessly retrofitting existing structures to ensure a cohesive look and durable finish.
