What are Waffle Pods and why are they are used?
This is where the concrete is sitting on (and around) a series of boxes (or Pods) set out in a grid pattern.Think of a waffle pod as a raft lying flat above your soil. The advantage of your waffle pod slab is that it is lying above the surface, as opposed to traditional foundations, which are dug into the earth. The traditional slab can crack and move within the soil as heat, humidity and wet weather cause the earth to expand and contract. Conversely the waffle pod slab sits above the earth and is therefore less susceptible to changing weather conditions and its effect on the soil below.
