Thermal-Krete Precast Foundations are the strongest foundations available today.
Precast engineering has proven successful for over 20 years in the harsh
weather of the northern United States. Build your home on a precast foundation from
Thermal-Krete and you can rest assured that your foundation will stand the test of time.
Precast technology provides several benefits. Your foundation will be laid with the
same technology used to make precast concrete bridges. This technology ensures that
all components will match precisely, and your foundation will be square and true to your
specifications. The walls are installed on a stone sub-footer, providing superior drainage
to conventional poured-on-site footings. Drains are under floors and walls rather than above
the footings, resulting in a drier, healthier and more comfortable living area.
Most foundations can be set in a single day and will provide a wall ten times stronger than
block or poured-on-site walls. Thermal-Krete is also competitively priced. Precast foundations
are a cut above and Thermal-Krete is the industry leader. Below is a series of pictures to show
our entire process. Let Advantage Construction make your foundation stable and secure. Call us at
