For a Structure That Lasts Longer
While pouring a foundation may not be visually exciting as seeing a house go up in its recognizable form, it is critical to get it right. No one would ever risk putting hours of work into building a house if it lacked a foundation to keep it solid, strong, and immovable. And yet, sometimes that’s what happens when we dive right into teaching children benchmark skills, without recognizing the critical importance of the foundational skills that have to come before. In short, without a quality foundation, a building will not be reliable nor last a long time.
Of course the main purpose of a foundation – supporting the building – is also its main benefit. However, its role is far more important than just being a standing stone. A good foundation, properly laid and installed, also serves to keep the moisture off the property by forming an effective dam against groundwater. This helps to prevent issues of mold and dampness, particularly in the lower levels or basement of your property – either of which could seriously undermine the structural integrity of the entire house. Likewise, the foundation isn’t just holding the house up, it also acts as a stabilizer to prevent lateral movement. A foundation must be strong enough to support the load of the entire building. Well-built foundations keep occupants safe from normal weather and from natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods.
