Poured Basement as your Modular Home Foundation
Poured
basement is the most popular material used for modular home foundation. It is also becoming the preferred option for finished flooring of basements because of its resistance to moisture and many design options.
Poured Basement is a Good Investment
Putting a poured basement into your brand new home is one of the best investments you can make. Basements provide inexpensive space for a variety of purposes, from a family room or entertainment center to an office or extra bedroom.
Fewer Problems During Construction
There were less problems with poured basement. A poured concrete wall takes less time to install, has more mass, is joint free, typically is between 6 and 10 inches thick and with the steel rebar that is placed inside the wall it assures you of a less problematic way of constructing a basement wall.
We understand that no one ever wants their basement to leak, but if a poured concrete wall should have a leak another advantage is that these can easily be fixed by a professional with epoxy injection and require no excavation like a block wall would.
Poured Basement is Strong
Poured basement walls may have a psi of 4000 to 10,000 psi, depending on your contractor or manufacturer. It is set in place with a pump truck, horizontal steel rebar, vertical steel rebar when needed for additional tensile strength. Poured basements have footings that are formed with a modern drain control system called form-a-drain. This type of modular home foundation has a keyway in the footings to resist lateral pressures and they are made with an attractive brick pattern.
