Cement Blocks & Foundation Accessories

Cement Blocks

We stock an inventory of cement blocks. The sizes range from 4" to 12". Concrete blocks are 16" long. You can either buy small quantities out of our yard or we can arrange with the manufacturer to have full house loads shipped directly to your site.

Generally, in this truckload situation, we need 2 or 3 days advance notice. We can calculate the number of blocks that you need including the corner blocks.

We also stock the necessary cement and forming boards. If you need a contractor, you can refer to our "Contractor Referrals" section of our menu under " Foundations".

As you can see from the picture, we also can rent you the necessary scaffolding for the job. Our design department can figure out the size of block that you will require. There are a number of factors but the backfill height is one of the most important issues.

Platon Foundation Wrap

Platon foundation wrap keeps wet soil away from the foundation wall. Any moisture that may find its way past the membrane is carried to the foundation drain by the air gap drainage path. Platon Foundation Protector is commonly used to waterproof block walls, poured concrete walls, permanent wood, existing foundations and Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF).
