Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel Support

It’s important to consider every aspect of the foundation when building a 200-year home. Steel provides support to concrete footers and foundation walls, but over a long period of time moisture can oxidize and compromise both the untreated steel and the concrete it supports. Taking the very unusual step to hot-dip galvanize the rebar prior to placement ensures its integrity and supporting strength will endure for the long haul.

Hot-dipped galvanized steel is not to be confused with any type of epoxy coated rebar which is widely used. You can watch an interesting video here and you can learn more from Wikipedia and from the industry association.
