New Concrete Basements and Basements Under Existing Homes

It is often a good idea to have a concrete basement under your home for additional living space or storage needs.

Here at Benitez Concrete Construction, we not only make basements, we also repair them. Be sure to contact us if you require repairs!

Concrete Slab on Grade & Mat Slabs

As the name suggests, a slab is a single layer of concrete, several inches thick. The slab is poured thicker at the edges, to form an integral footing; reinforcing rods strengthen the thickened edge. The slab normally rests on a bed of crushed gravel to improve drainage. Casting a wire mesh in the concrete reduces the chance of cracking.

Drilled Pier & Grade Beam Foundations

A drilled pier is a deep foundation system that is a large diameter concrete cylinder that is constructed by placing fresh concrete and reinforcing steel into a drilled shaft. Drilled piers are constructed to transfer heavy axial or lateral loads to a deep stratum below the ground surface.

Concrete Foundation Underpinning

Your home’s foundation is the base on which everything else is built, so it can be considered the most important part of your home. If you need to repair your foundation, install one, raise it, or level it, make sure that you hire the absolute best person for the job. Benitez Concrete Construction is the best person for the job.

Concrete Retaining Wall & Decorative Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are relatively rigid walls used for supporting the soil mass laterally so that the soil can be retained at different levels on the two sides. They are used to bound soils between two different elevations often in areas of terrain possessing undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely and engineered for more specific purposes like hillside farming or roadway overpasses.

Concrete Driveways

Concrete driveways are very important in a home. Not only is it a place to park your car, but it is also one of the biggest things in your yard, having a good-looking and professionally-built driveway is essential to the aesthetics and function of your home.

Decorative Concrete Flatwork

For garages and basements, walkways and driveways, patios and steps, concrete flatwork is often the installation of choice. It is much cheaper than stone or brick masonry, and increasing options and techniques are allowing it to compete aesthetically. This is no small decision and required careful consideration. Much like a countertop of floor covering, matching the correct concrete finish and design to your concrete project will greatly enhance the quality of the installation and your home.

Temporary House Shoring, Leveling and Soil Shoring

Shoring is commonly used when installing the foundation of a building. A shoring system such as piles and lagging or shotcrete will support the surrounding loads until the underground levels of the building are constructed.

Waterproofing, Drainage Systems and De-Watering Systems

It is very important to install waterproofing and drainage systems in your commercial building to prevent flooding and damage from water.

Basement Digouts & Renovations

Digging out a basement can be an ideal way to add some room or living space to your home and can often be less expensive than adding room by going upward or outward. The best option can be chosen after considering a few factors such as design, feasibility, function, and the cost.
