"Concrete Block Basements"

Concrete Block has been used in the construction of firm foundations and basements for the past century. Based on a survey of the Central Minnesota Builders Association's Tour of Homes, over 90% of the homes built in Central Minnesota are built on concrete block foundations.

A concrete block foundation and basement system provides a valuable living space "below-grade" at a minimal expense in comparison to the cost per square foot of the house. Block basements offer the homeowner a foundation that is;

Dry
Economical
Durable

A block basement has superior design flexibility with the ability to perform for a lifetime. For a free installation video that explains the concrete block basement construction process give us a call at Amcon Block or contact the Minnesota Concrete Masonry Association at www.mcma.net.
