Runners are the "classic" foundation under numerous manufactured homes in our region. Many counties and cities require concrete runners as a method of enhancing soil load capacities and reducing settling potential.
Washington Home & Land Services' staff prepares the site with a bulldozer and the aid of a laser transit. Forming boards are assembled, reinforcement bar is installed, inspection is called for, and cement is on the ground the same day in many cases.
Lastly, fill material such as 5/8 minus crushed rock, is delivered and spread between the concrete areas. This completes leveling of the entire home site, while providing protection from a phenomenon called "Frost Heave".
