How do I know if my foundation is slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>If you don’t have any access to or knowledge of any area underneath your home, chances are it’s built slab-on-grade.

If it’s more than that, has any windows, or you have steps leading to your main entrance, you likely have a different foundation style.</p></div>
