Footings are an important part of foundation construction. They are typically made of concrete with rebar reinforcement that has been poured into an excavated trench. The purpose of footings is to support the foundation and prevent settling. Footings are especially important in areas with troublesome soils.
The construction of footings is best left to the pros that can assess the soil conditions and decide on the proper depth, width and placement for the footings. The dimensions of footings also depend on the size and type of structure that will be built. Placement of footings is crucial to provide the proper support for the foundation and ultimately the structure.
Concrete footings may also be needed for projects such as a deck, pergola, retaining wall or other types of construction.
Adam was so prompt, professional and had all the tools required to help us make an informed decision on what could have been a very expensive project. He saved us $45k in underpinning and restumping that was quoted by another tradesperson. The best part is the report was able to be turned around so promptly and for it to be written in such a clear manner is a testament to the quality of his professionalism and empathy for clients. I would 1000% recommend and use his services again. Thanks again Adam!
