Professional Poured Concreate Installation and Repair

Poured Concrete Foundation Installation & Repair Services

Build your home on a solid foundation with professional poured concrete services that combine structural strength with long-lasting durability. Our comprehensive poured concrete foundation services include:

Residential Installation

• Garage Floors: Poured concrete floors for detached and attached garages sized for single, double, or triple-car structures
• Basement Floors: Smooth, level concrete floor pours for basements and below-grade spaces
• Patios, Sidewalks & Driveways: Durable concrete installations for outdoor entertaining areas, pedestrian walkways, and vehicle access routes

We work closely with homeowners, architects, and builders to ensure your poured concrete foundation meets structural engineering requirements while providing a stable, waterproof base for your home.

Repair & Restoration

Even the highest-quality poured concrete foundations can develop problems over time due to settlement, moisture infiltration, or structural stress. Our concrete foundation repair services restore both structural integrity and long-term performance:

• Crack Repair: Epoxy and polyurethane injection to seal structural and non-structural cracks and prevent water infiltration
• Spalling Concrete Repair: Remove deteriorated concrete surfaces and apply patching compounds to restore protection
• Concrete Patching: Remove and replace damaged sections with properly bonded concrete patches
• Wall Stabilization: Install carbon fiber reinforcement or steel bracing for bowing or leaning foundation walls
• Water Damage Restoration: Repair moisture-related damage and install proper waterproofing and drainage systems
• Surface Resurfacing: Apply concrete overlays or resurfacing compounds to damaged foundation surfaces
• Efflorescence Treatment: Remove white salt deposits and apply protective sealers
• Foundation Underpinning: Strengthen and stabilize settling or inadequate foundations with additional concrete support

We begin every repair project with a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of the problem—not just the visible symptoms. This ensures lasting repairs that prevent future issues.

Emergency Concrete Foundation Repair Services

When foundation emergencies strike, Tibben Masonry responds quickly to protect your property and safety. Our emergency poured concrete repair services address urgent situations including:

• Bowing or bulging foundation walls requiring immediate stabilization
• Severe foundation cracks and structural failures
• Major water infiltration and basement flooding through foundation cracks
• Structural settlement causing significant movement or displacement
• Storm damage and impact damage to concrete foundations
• Sudden crack development or foundation displacement

Don't wait when you notice warning signs like foundation cracks widening rapidly, walls bowing or tilting, water pouring into your basement, or visible foundation movement. These are serious safety hazards that require immediate professional attention to prevent further damage and costly repairs.

Ontario Building Code Compliance

All poured concrete construction must meet Ontario Building Code requirements for structural safety and performance. Tibben Masonry ensures every concrete installation complies with current code provisions including:

• Concrete Mix Design: Proper concrete strength (minimum 25 MPa for foundations) and mix specifications appropriate for intended use and exposure conditions
• Reinforcement Requirements: Properly sized and spaced rebar or wire mesh meeting structural design specifications and minimum cover requirements
• Formwork Standards: Adequate formwork bracing and support to maintain dimensional accuracy and prevent blowouts during concrete placement
• Foundation Depth: Footings placed below frost line (minimum 1.2m in Eastern Ontario) to prevent frost heaving and structural damage
• Drainage & Waterproofing: Proper foundation drainage systems, weeping tile installation, and damp-proofing or waterproofing membranes as required
• Curing Requirements: Adequate moisture retention and temperature control during curing period to achieve specified concrete strength
• Slab on Grade Specifications: Proper granular base, vapor barriers, and thickness requirements for intended loads and building type
• Cold Weather Protection: Temperature monitoring and protection measures when placing concrete in conditions below 5°C

Our Red Seal certified masons understand local building official requirements and maintain positive working relationships with inspectors across our service area.

Poured Concrete Cost Factors

Poured concrete installation costs vary based on project scope, concrete specifications, and site complexity. Understanding these factors helps you budget accurately for your concrete project.

Primary Cost Influences:

• Concrete Mix & Specifications: Standard mix, high-strength, fiber-reinforced, or specialty concrete have different price points; additives for freeze-thaw resistance affect costs
• Project Size & Thickness: Larger pours require more materials and labor; thicker slabs for heavy loads or foundations increase concrete volume significantly
• Formwork Complexity: Simple rectangular pours are economical; curved walls, custom shapes, and elevated slabs require extensive formwork and increase labor costs
• Site Access & Preparation: Difficult access for concrete trucks and equipment increases pumping costs; excavation, grading, and base preparation affect total pricing
• Reinforcement Requirements: Rebar spacing, wire mesh, or fiber reinforcement specifications impact material costs
• Finishing & Surface Treatment: Broom finish, smooth trowel, stamped patterns, exposed aggregate, or colored concrete affect final pricing
• Foundation & Structural Work: Footings, foundation walls, and engineered specifications require additional materials and expertise
• Seasonal Considerations: Winter pours require heated enclosures, blankets, and accelerators that increase costs

Typical Eastern Ontario Pricing (2025):

• Driveways & Parking Areas: $8-$15 per square foot for standard 4-6 inch thickness with wire mesh reinforcement
• Basement Floors & Garage Slabs: $6-$12 per square foot depending on thickness, vapor barrier, and finishing requirements
• Foundation Walls & Footings: $12-$25 per square foot for formed and poured foundation systems with proper reinforcement
• Sidewalks & Patios: $10-$18 per square foot for residential walkways and outdoor living spaces
• Stamped or Decorative Concrete: $15-$30 per square foot for pattern stamping, coloring, and specialty finishes
• Concrete Repair & Resurfacing: $5-$15 per square foot depending on extent of damage and preparation required

All pricing estimates include standard specifications and materials. Your project may vary based on concrete specifications, design complexity, site conditions, and structural requirements. Properly installed concrete provides decades of durable service in Eastern Ontario's climate. Contact Tibben Masonry for detailed, site-specific quotations.

Concrete Block vs. Poured Concrete Foundations

Both CMU block and poured concrete foundations provide reliable performance for Ontario construction. Understanding the differences helps you choose the right system for your project.

Bottom Line: For most residential foundations in Eastern Ontario, concrete block provides excellent value with proven long-term performance. Commercial projects may benefit from poured concrete's speed advantages. We help you evaluate which option suits your specific project requirements and budget.
