Room Addition Footings.
We pour the foundation. Your contractor builds the addition.
Adding a new room, garage, or sunroom to your RGV home? We specialize in room addition footings — the engineered footings, stem walls, and foundation slab that your addition sits on. Once we're done, your general contractor or framers come in and build the structure on top of a foundation that's actually engineered for Rio Grande Valley soil.
Engineered Layout
Footing depth and width sized to your addition's load, plot conditions, and code.
Tied to Existing Home
Properly doweled and tied to your existing foundation so the addition moves as one with the house.
Built for RGV Clay
Footings sized and reinforced for the expansive clay soils across the Rio Grande Valley.
From dirt to slab-ready.
We handle the foundation phase end-to-end. When we leave the site, your addition's footings and slab are cured, square, and ready for framing.
- Site excavation and grading
- Engineered footing and stem wall layout
- Rebar reinforcement and dowel-in to existing foundation
- Vapor barrier and proper soil prep
- Concrete pour and finish
- Slab inspected and ready for your contractor
Methods we use for addition footings.
An addition is only as good as the foundation under it. Here are the techniques we use to make sure your new room is tied to your existing home and engineered for RGV soil.
Engineered Footing Layout
Footing depth, width, and reinforcement sized to your addition's load and your specific lot conditions — not a generic spec.
Excavation & Forming
Footings dug to engineered depth and formed with proper bracing for clean, square pours.
Doweled Tie-In to Existing Slab
Steel dowels epoxied into your existing foundation so the new footings move as one with the home — not as a separate slab that drifts away.
Rebar Reinforcement
Continuous rebar grid through footings and slab, sized for the load above and the expansive clay below.
Vapor Barrier & Moisture Control
Heavy-mil polyethylene under the slab to block ground moisture from migrating into the new addition's framing.
Stem Walls & Anchor Bolts
Stem walls poured where elevation requires it; anchor bolts set in the wet pour at code spacing for the framers to land on.

Existing foundation needs work first?
