What are the three foundations for a house?

There is only one foundation. Whatever the square footage is for the house on the first floor. Is where the foundation is. Its made of mixed concrete that is poured and set to dry before building the house on it. Perhaps you're asking about the different types of foundations a house can be built on? If so, the three most common are... # Slab - This is a solid slab of concrete that, once the house is built, serves as the floor as well. # Crawl space - Short concrete walls are built on concrete footers to elevate the house. # Basement - Large concrete wall built on footers as well. Hope this helps. == There are also monolithic slab foundations and dry stone foundations as well as mixed masonry and mortar, i.e. brick, concrete block.
