Delpres Services is a concrete foundation contractor based in Harrison Township. We pour concrete foundations and footings for homes, additions and garages, plus light commercial foundations. We work with general contractors and direct clients across Macomb County and Metro Detroit. Every foundation is poured to code, from the footing up.
Most foundations start with a dig. For basement and foundation digs, we bring mini-excavators for tight residential access and full-size equipment for deep commercial work. Forms are set to exact grade, and rebar goes in based on the project's load requirements. Concrete is poured and finished to spec, and proper cure time is observed.
Tell us about the septic, sewer, excavation or concrete work and where it is. We look at the job and put a free estimate in writing.
Footings are the wide concrete base under a building. They spread the weight of the walls into the soil below. Foundation walls rise from the footings and carry the house or addition above.
We pour slabs for homes, additions and garages too. The garage's size and the town's rules decide whether it sits on full footings or a lighter base.
For light commercial buildings, we pour foundations to the project's drawings and the Michigan Building Code. After the foundation, our commercial concrete flatwork covers sidewalks, loading docks, warehouse floors and parking areas.
Frost is the reason footings go deep. Wet soil swells as it freezes and can lift a shallow footing. The Michigan Residential Code sets the rule: all exterior footings and foundation systems extend 42 inches below actual grade.
The building official can change that depth when a site calls for it. The code lists soil type and ground water conditions among the reasons. In Chesterfield Township, on Anchor Bay, much of the ground is heavy lake-plain clay with a high seasonal water table. Much of western Washington Township sits on rolling, well-drained moraine soils instead.
Your local building department enforces the code and has the final word for your lot. We set every footing to the depth the code and the building official require.
We pour foundations for general contractors and builders, and we work directly for owners too. Either way, we pour to the approved plans. In Macomb Township, for example, approved plans must be on site for all inspections.
Inspections come in stages. Macomb Township lists separate inspections for a new home's basement footings, garage footing and basement backfill. An addition gets a footing inspection, plus a backfill inspection when it has a basement.
After proper cure time and any required inspection, backfill goes back in compacted lifts. Then we restore the ground the dig disturbed. Membranes, dimple board, footing drain tile and edge drains are part of our foundation waterproofing work.

We call MISS DIG 811 for utility locates before any digging. On septic jobs, we line up our work with the county's soil evaluation and inspections.
We dig to spec with equipment sized to the site. Then the work goes in to the approved plan or the agreed scope.
After the required tests and inspections, we backfill and restore what we dug up. Lawns get topsoil and seed or sod, and paved areas get new concrete or asphalt.
