Slab foundations we build for Anaheim homes

  • Slabs for new homes and backyard units

    A full slab foundation under a new house or backyard unit, formed and poured to your engineer's plans once the site and the soil have been checked.

  • Slabs for room additions

    A new slab beside the house you live in, set so the addition sits right with your floors while we keep the yard and walls around it protected.

What goes into building a slab foundation in Anaheim?

Slab foundation building in Anaheim, CA means pouring a concrete base that sits right on the ground and carries your home, formed, placed and finished to your engineer's plans once the soil and the city's review are settled.

Usually you're adding a room, building a backyard unit or putting up a new house, and you've found that the slab is the first thing the plans and the city want settled. The price moves with the size of the footprint, the kind of slab your engineer draws, how much grading the lot needs and how easily we can reach the back of the property, while the schedule turns mostly on the work before the pour, with the soils question, the plans and the city's review. When a budget gets tight, the base is where people want to save because nobody sees it on day one, and it's the one place I'd kindly ask you not to, since it's what your home rests on for years. I'll come out, measure and give you an estimate for your own slab, and if the plans also need concrete footings for a porch or a wall, we'll price those with it.

From soil and plans to a cured slab

Most of a slab's work happens before the pour, so I decide what yours needs from the ground up, the same way we size up a site for a concrete parking lot.

  • Soils and plans with your designer

    We line up the soils question, your engineer's plans and the city's review with your designer early, since the pour waits on all three.

  • The slab your design calls for

    I'll ask which slab your design is drawn for, and if it calls for a raised floor instead, that's our foundation installation work.

  • A dug-out, packed base

    We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, because a base that's only raked level settles with the dirt.

  • Steel, pour and curing

    We set the steel as drawn and pour in the cooler hours so the top doesn't dry weak, then let the slab cure, or slowly harden.

Why Anaheim homeowners choose Advanced Anaheim Concrete Company

I learned concrete pouring foundations on new construction, and in 2017 I started this business to bring that work to homes people already live in. That means planning your slab around your family, your yard and your neighbors, not just around the pour.

Questions about slab foundations in Anaheim

What does a concrete slab foundation cost in Orange County?

A reinforced concrete slab in Orange County usually costs about $8 to $14 per square foot. Where yours falls depends on the soil, the kind of slab your engineer draws and how much grading the lot needs, so I'll price your own slab at the site visit.

Do I need a soils report for a slab foundation in Anaheim?

You may not, if the city's Building Division agrees to waive the report because your site and the planned work show no need for one. A granted waiver takes the report off the project, so it's worth raising early with your designer, and the city's soils report waiver guide explains what goes with the request.

Who prepares the plans for a slab foundation in Anaheim?

A qualified design professional does, and for most projects the city wants a California licensed architect or engineer. City staff leave plan preparation to your team, so it helps to hire your designer first, and I'm glad to work with them on the slab from the start.

How do I check if my Anaheim lot is in an earthquake hazard zone?

Type your address into the state's EQ Zapp tool to see whether the property sits in a mapped earthquake hazard zone. If it does, let your designer know early, since it can change what the city asks for before the slab is designed.

What is the best way to choose between a post-tensioned slab and a regular slab?

Let your engineer choose from the soil and the design, and ask which type the plans call for. One national trade group says post-tensioned slabs, which have compression built into the concrete, hold up better than slabs without it on soil that shrinks and swells.

How do I know a contractor is licensed to pour a slab in California?

Ask for the contractor's license number before you sign anything. The state lets unlicensed people take only minor jobs under $1,000 that need no permit and where they employ no one, and the license that covers concrete work includes forming, pouring, placing and finishing it.

Slab foundation building in Anaheim starts with the soil

The city's Public Works department issues grading permits, and any structure with a footprint over 1,200 square feet needs one along with grading plans. If your lot is in the Hillside Building Area set by the City Engineer, the city wants a full soils and geology report and grading plans no matter the size, and a request to waive the soils report has to include a drainage plan that Public Works reviews and approves. When a job needs a permit, we handle the application with the city, and if we're unsure what the city wants, we ask the Building Division before we start.

Soil is the other reason we check before anything is designed. The state maps liquefaction zones, where loose, wet ground can give way in a quake and the city may require a geotechnical investigation, and the county notes expansive soil, the kind that swells when wet and shrinks as it dries, in some areas. We ask the same questions on jobs in Fullerton and Orange, and since we work across Orange County and nearby, please call even if your city isn't listed here.
