What Your Neighbors Are Saying About Us

Absolutely amazing company!!! They are honest, trustworthy, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend Artesia Foundation Repair!

I had them come out to repair my parent's foundation. They got it done in a couple of days, and did great work. They were very professional and responded quickly to all their questions and concerns. They also have the option to get concrete work done, so they got their entrance sidewalk leveled out as well. They are amazing. I would highly recommend.

Everyone was friendly and professional from start to end. My huge cracks on outside wall were gone when they are finished. It was great experience. I would recommend Artesia Foundation Repair.

A genuine 5 star company. I have never experienced a repair crew as hardworking, efficient and personable as the Artesia Foundation Repair crew. From start to finish the repair process was painless. The cleanup afterward was truly remarkable. Artesia Foundation Repair is diamond in the rough.

How Slab Foundation Replacement Works

Replacing a slab is a multi-stage process that requires engineering knowledge, precision excavation, and a deep understanding of Artesia’s soil composition and climate.

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

Site Evaluation and Soil Testing
We begin by assessing the subgrade soil for load capacity, moisture retention, and compaction needs. This helps ensure the new slab has the best chance at long-term stability.
Demolition and Removal
The existing concrete slab is broken up and removed along with rebar, debris, and contaminated soil if needed.
Subgrade Preparation
The area is compacted, leveled, and backfilled with sand or gravel as required. A vapor barrier is added to prevent future moisture problems.
Formwork and Rebar Installation
Wooden forms define the slab’s perimeter, and steel rebar is laid in a grid to reinforce the concrete and resist cracking or shifting.
Concrete Pouring
High-strength concrete is poured, vibrated, and leveled using laser-guided screeds to achieve a uniform surface.
Curing and Finishing
The slab is allowed to cure under controlled conditions for strength development. We apply a finish that matches your needs—smooth, brushed, or ready for flooring.

Final Inspection and Prep for Building
The foundation is reviewed for elevation accuracy, perimeter alignment, and surface quality before framing or structural building begins.

Slab Foundation Options We Offer

Depending on the structure and site requirements, we offer different slab systems tailored for residential and commercial needs.

Footings poured first, followed by slab
Ideal for heavier or load-bearing structures

3. Post-Tensioned Slabs

Reinforced with tensioned steel cables for increased strength
Minimizes cracking on expansive soils (like those found in Artesia)
Preferred for commercial or higher-end residential builds
