Building a foundation in Obetz

Whether the lot in Obetz is a new subdivision parcel or a backyard behind an older house, foundation work starts with the plans and the stakes. We build footings, poured walls and slabs there for builders, general contractors and owners building their own place.

Spring rains in Central Ohio can turn an open footing trench into a pond overnight, so trenches are dug close to inspection day and pumped dry before the pour. Excavation for any foundation starts with 811, so gas, electric, water and cable lines on the lot are marked before the first bucket of dirt comes out.

For a house, garage or addition in Obetz, a quick call or form gets things started. You will hear back to talk through the plans and schedule before the free foundation quote.

Around Obetz

Houses, garages and additions around Lancaster Park and Big Walnut Creek and the rest of Obetz all need the same start: footings on firm ground below the frost line, walls level and square, and a slab poured after the rough-ins.

Frost reaches roughly 32 inches into the ground in a cold Central Ohio winter, so footings for houses, garages and additions are set below that line.

Building close to Obetz? We also pour foundations in Groveport, Lockbourne, Blacklick Estates and Commercial Point.

Questions

Obetz questions

How far ahead should I schedule foundation work in Obetz?

As soon as the plans are final and the permit is in process. That leaves time to line up layout, inspections and concrete deliveries so the foundation is ready when the framer is.

Do footings in Obetz go below the frost line?

Yes. Footings for houses, garages and additions in Obetz are set below frost depth, roughly 32 inches in Central Ohio, or deeper if the plans call for it. The local building department inspects them before the pour.

Can you pour a foundation in Obetz during winter?

Yes, with cold-weather practices. The trench is kept from freezing, fresh footings and walls are covered with insulated blankets, and no concrete goes onto frozen ground.

Who gets the building permit for a foundation in Obetz?

Usually the owner or the general contractor, as part of the building permit for the house, garage or addition. The foundation work is then scheduled around the inspections that permit requires.

How do I get a foundation quote for a build in Obetz?

Phone (614) 964-5516, or put the site address, what you are building and your start date in the form. Expect a call about the plans and schedule, then a free quote by footings, walls and slab.

Can you set anchor bolts for my framer?

Yes. Anchor bolts or straps go in while the wall concrete is wet, at the spacing and locations on the plans, with extra attention at corners and door openings. Tell us the sill plate size and any hold-down locations so the framer finds everything where it belongs.
