"This is the 4th project that I have used Foundation Recovery Systems to repair my 40 year old basement walls.. sump pump, wall excavation, wall anchors, interior water guttering. Over the past 3 years, no matter how big or small, my issue is handled as if I am the most important customer. I have always been treated great!. Always arriving on time, and such friendly employees that will answer whatever questions I may have, Thanks to all that have been assigned to my projects! Dustin, Tyler and Tom have such great personalities that it was pleasant to be around them throughout the day."
"Our experience with Sho Me Builders matched the goals stated here for the business precisely. They built a 13'x11' storm shelter/cellar with a concrete floor and lid, over which we built a post and beam gazebo. When some additional excavation work was needed, Sho Me Builders did the work with extreme care to not damage the structure, trees, or other landscaping in the area. They were extremely pleasant in all interactions. They listened to our wants and needs, and genuinely considered our input while leading with their expertise. The quality of their work was top notch. They were not satisfied until we were completely happy with their work. Sam with Sho Me Buulders would be our definite first choice for any future concrete work and we highly recommend his services to anyone."

Concrete houses cost 10% to 20% more to build than stick-built homes, and maintenance on home systems is more invasive and expensive due to pipes and wires being buried in concrete. Concrete homes can also look more industrial and less comfortable if you don’t cover the concrete with finishing materials. It’s also more challenging to make changes to concrete, so reframing doors and windows or building home additions will cost more. Concrete needs time to cure, too, so the timeline to build a house out of concrete is a bit longer.
Labor and pouring adds between $8 and $18 per square foot to your total for concrete delivery. Especially for larger projects, it’s usually a good idea to hire a professional concrete delivery company when it comes to installing concrete surfaces even though it will undoubtedly cost more to hire a pro to do the work for you.
Professionals provide long-lasting, structurally sound, and aesthetically appealing concrete surfaces tailored to business needs.
The ideal base for concrete is even, firm, and permeable to encourage drainage. Depending on your project's weight requirements, a combination of gravel, sand, or other aggregates is best. While you can technically pour concrete over grass, dirt, or an old piece of concrete, you risk threatening the concrete's stability.
Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.
