Una casa forte e robusta


Translating…

Building a house is not an easy task. There are many factors that go into the preparation to building the house and the building itself. Before you can build a house, you must make sure there is no water in the ground below where you are building and you must get the water out if there is. You must also have a flat place to build upon and lay a concrete foundation.

Building your Home on Solid Ground

Having a firm and dry foundation is important when building a house. Water in the soil can cause the foundation to sink and the house to collapse. There is a process called Dewatering that will get the water out of the ground before you start building your home. Absorption is a commonly used method for removing water from the construction site of a home. The builders will lay down an absorbent substance such as salt, sawdust or dry dirt to soak up the excess water in the soil. If you’re building in a marsh or other wetland area, it may take a long time and many applications of these absorbent materials to get rid of all of the water. Be prepared to wait for that to take place.

A Flat Foundation is the Best Foundation

Having a flat place on which to lay the foundation of a house is important. Sometimes it is easy to excavate some ground to make it level enough to build on. If you were to build on uneven ground, the ground below would need to be hard and very compact, otherwise it would cause the foundation to be unstable and could cause the falling apart of the home. Uneven ground also makes it more difficult to build a home as part of the home would have to be underground. It is very tough to have a sturdy foundation on unlevel ground.

Concrete: Keeping your Home Firmly Planted

Having a concrete foundation is one of the most important things to prepare land for a home. The foundation is what holds the house up. It keeps the house from sinking into wet ground when it rains by keeping it up off the soil and it holds the house down during wind storms and / or tornadoes. The foundation is very important. It is the first thing to be put down when building a house and it is the strongest part of the home as it is made of concrete.

Building a home can be very rewarding, but you have to do it right. A firm, solid and dry place to build your home is imperative. Getting the water out of the ground is a simple, but possibly time consuming process. It is easily done with the right materials. Laying down a concrete foundation for your home will keep it safe against both water and wind. You want your house to last a long time and it must have that firm foundation in order to do so. If you keep all of these important factors in mind when building your home, it’s sure to be a success.
