Experience the excellence of a Tella Firma foundation on your next project. For nearly 20 years the Tella Firma patented foundation system has been providing builders and homeowners the best foundation solution for their new build. The expansive soils found throughout Texas and other parts of the United States are the main cause of costly foundation issues. Tella Firma aims to be the most economical and cost effective structurally suspended foundation solution in the industry. We know that investing in a firm foundation from the beginning will save countless headaches in the future.
For many years, the traditional method of creating a void space beneath a concrete foundation has been with the use of old fashioned carton forms. As many builders and concrete contractors will testify, this method is labor intensive and not cost effective. Tella Firma also provides a more cost effective alternative to traditional pier and beam foundations. The cost of lumber and increased labor, makes Tella Firma a more cost effective and efficient alternative.
Don’t let expansive soils determine where you build your next home. Tella Firma has allowed thousands of homeowners to rest assured that their homes’ foundation is designed to withstand the risks of building on expansive soils. With our patented lifting mechanisms, engineers will design your foundation to be elevated above the active soils, creating a void space that allows the soils to shift without coming in contact with your foundation.
In order for the Tella Firma system to be successful, your foundation must be founded in a suitable bearing strata. With the use of drilled concrete piers, or steel helical piles, your home’s foundation will extend below the active soils near the surface, and into deeper, more stable soils below the active zone. Having accurate geotechnical information is important in determining the best solution for your project. Detailed soils information will determine how deep your piers will need to be, and how much your foundation needs to be elevated above active soil once it has been poured.
