Concrete Footings in Jacksonville, FL

What footings do

A footing spreads a concentrated load over enough soil area that the soil can carry it. Get the size or depth wrong and the structure above settles — which shows up as cracked stucco, sticking doors or a sagging porch roof long after the concrete is buried.

Soil, depth and reinforcement

Sandy Jacksonville soils, previously disturbed fill and high water tables all affect footing design. Depth, width and reinforcement come from the engineered plans for your project; we build to them and flag anything we find on site that doesn't match assumptions.

Anchors and connections

The connection between footing and structure is as important as the footing itself. Anchor bolts, straps and embeds get placed during the pour and located from the drawings.
