Drilling South Pasadena Foundational Drilling for New Residential Homes

No matter the shape of a building or what it is intended to be used for, one of the most important aspects of a geotechnical drilling company is being contracted to perform foundational drilling. Pasadena residents probably already know how important it is to have a solid foundation, but they may not know that there are many options to choose from that offer great foundational support. Not all of these foundational choices are applicable to residential homes however, and this drastically depended on environmental and geological conditions that can help determine which type of foundation is the best for the home or structure.

Basements

Although they are not common in the State of Florida, many people know that a basement is an additional room to a home that is underneath the base floor of the home. What people may not know is that basements offer great structural support if the environmental and geological conditioners are right. IN the state of Florida, it may be hard to find a location to place a basement with the help of foundational drilling. South Pasadena residents should be made aware that this because many spots in Florida are right at or even below sea level, making it much more likely that they are going to hit ground water the further they drill.

Pier and Beam Foundational Support

Another common type of foundation that is used in some residential homes and structures utilizes piers and beams to offer support. Professionals would have to make sure these pieces are secured by performing geotechnical drilling. South Pasadena residents should be made aware that because these piers are drilled down into the soil to rest on solid rock, they offer more support than other foundational options like concrete slabs. The big reason why this type of foundation is useful is because there is less of a chance that the house will shift as the result of soil movement underneath the home. Keep in mind though that this type of foundational support is not the cheapest solution for homeowners.
