As concrete cures the mixing water used in concrete evaporates from the concrete and causes the concrete to shrink. This may result in some cracks in the foundation. These cracks are not a structural concern and will not cause a water leak if the foundation is waterproofed. This can be accomplished in two ways. First, we can incorporate a brick or stone ledge in the wall. This will allow the brick or stone to follow just below the grade, giving the appearance of brick or stone to the footing. Second, your mason can brick or stack stone directly off the footing.
Herbert Construction Company was founded by Barry and Linda Herbert in Southwest Michigan in 1978. It began with one boom truck and enough lumber to build 150 linear feet of hand-made wood forms. For 20 years the company constructed commercial, residential and agricultural foundations in Michigan. In 1998, we acquired a poured wall contractor in Marietta, GA. Our headquarters are now here in Marietta. Barry and Linda still operate Herbert Construction with the help of their three children and a really great team of people who care about being the best at what we do.
