Whether you're adding a guest suite, expanding your kitchen, or building a new garage, the success of your project starts from the ground up—literally. At CBD Concrete, we specialize in foundation additions that ensure your new space is safe, strong, and seamlessly integrated with your existing structure.

Expanding your home is exciting, but poor planning or a weak foundation can lead to major issues down the road. Let’s walk through why a proper foundation addition is essential—and how we make it simple and stress-free.

What Is a Foundation Addition?

A foundation addition is the structural base installed to support new construction added onto an existing building. It needs to be:

• Level with the existing foundation
• Engineered to carry new load requirements
• Reinforced for longevity and stability
• Integrated properly for structural cohesion

It’s not as simple as pouring new concrete next to old. The transition has to be seamless to avoid future shifting, cracking, or damage.

When You Need a Foundation Addition

Foundation additions are required any time you’re:

• Adding square footage to your home
• Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)
• Extending a garage or converting a carport
• Creating a sunroom or enclosed patio
• Planning a second story over an existing structure

Without a properly built foundation, the entire project could fail to meet building codes—or worse, become structurally unsound.

Common Foundation Addition Mistakes to Avoid

We've seen it all—and we want to help you avoid common headaches:

• Skipping soil testing – Can lead to shifting or cracking down the road
• Poor drainage planning – Causes water pooling and erosion
• Improper leveling – Results in uneven floors or wall cracks
• Cutting corners on rebar or concrete mix – Leads to early failure

At CBD Concrete, we take every precaution to avoid these mistakes.
