Solid poured walls are 25 times stronger than block walls that are completely filled with concrete. They are also more watertight and easier to damp-proof. Thus, your concrete walls have far less water problems and a fraction of the humidity associated with block wall systems. Block wall systems are porous and water freely flows through them.

Why Poured Foundations?

Poured concrete offers solid performance in foundation construction. Benefits of poured walls. Poured concrete walls provide builders and owners with stronger, drier, better basements. They offer performance that block walls simply can’t match, at a competitive price.

• Strength: Poured walls have a compressive and flexural strength several times that of block and far beyond the required safety factor.
• Water Resistance: The increased strength, density, and joint-free construction of poured walls dramatically reduce basement water problems. A water-tight basement means less call backs for the builder or developer… less warranty problems.
• Fire Resistance: Solid wall construction affords at least twice as much protection against fire as hollow core concrete block.
• Design Flexibility: Poured wall techniques are adaptable to most home designs and offer the choice of either brick or smooth finishes.
• Maintenance Ease: Poured wall construction is virtually maintenance free.

As a quick note on the virtues of poured walls, homeowners report that their basements are dryer than homes they have moved from with different types of walls. Efficient modern construction methods make poured concrete walls cost competitive with block walls. Poured walls are generally stronger than block walls. Removable form and concrete placement technology combine to allow complex projects to be completed in record times... Contractors like the versatility if concrete mix designs that offer workability, flowabilty and strength. With the ever changing desires of the home owner, contractors are re-discovering the flexibility of wall form systems to offer various configurations including variable heights to the builder so homeowners can have a full eight-foot or higher ceiling in their basement.
