When You Need a Concrete Slab Foundation

Any structure that sits on the ground needs something solid beneath it. Concrete slabs are the most common foundation choice for garages, workshops, storage sheds, guest houses, and ADUs. In Campbell, ADU construction has increased significantly in recent years, and nearly every one of them needs a code-compliant concrete slab.

We also pour slabs for home additions where the original structure did not include a lower level, and for covered outdoor structures like pergolas or outdoor kitchens that need a level, load-bearing surface. If you are not sure whether your project needs a slab, call us. We will give you a straight answer at no charge.

How We Pour a Slab Foundation

Every slab starts with excavation and sub-base preparation. We remove soil to the required depth, grade the surface, and compact the base material. A moisture barrier is placed before reinforcement if the design calls for it.

We set forms to the correct dimensions and slope, place rebar or wire mesh according to the plan, and schedule the concrete pour at the right time. The surface is screeded, floated, and finished to a smooth or broom texture depending on the application. Control joints are cut to manage cracking, and we protect the surface during curing.

For structural applications, we work from engineered drawings and make sure the slab meets Santa Clara County building code requirements. This is especially important for ADU slabs, which are subject to inspection. We also handle full foundation installation for larger structures that require stem walls or deeper footings.

What Sets Our Slab Work Apart

A lot can go wrong with a slab pour if the base is not properly prepared or if the concrete is placed incorrectly. We have seen slabs pour cracked within a year because the sub-base shifted or the mix was too wet. We do not cut those corners.

We also give you a written quote before we start and walk you through any permit requirements your project may involve. For ADU slabs in Campbell, this includes understanding what the city inspector will look for so your slab passes the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a slab foundation?
A slab foundation is a flat, horizontal layer of concrete poured directly on the ground. It serves as the floor and foundation of a structure all in one. It is commonly used for garages, sheds, ADUs, and ground-level home additions.
Do I need a permit for a concrete slab in Campbell, CA?
Most structural slabs, including those for garages, ADUs, and additions, require a permit in Campbell. We help you understand what permits apply to your project and can guide you through the process before work begins.
How thick does a concrete slab need to be for a garage or ADU?
A standard garage slab is typically 4 inches thick. For heavier loads or structural applications like an ADU, 6 inches with rebar may be required by code. We review your plans and pour the slab to the specification required for your project.
