Why are Footing Contractors Essential for All Construction Projects?

Footings play an extremely important role in foundation construction. They are used primarily to support the foundations themselves and prevent them from settling. These solutions are extremely important in areas with troublesome soil which can quickly cause foundations to shift or provide unreliable support for the building. As footings play such an important role in construction, it is important that your groundworks team has extensive experience when dealing with them.

What are Footings Made From?

To provide extremely reliable service, footings for new builds and extensions are made from hard-wearing materials. Footings tend to be made from concrete which has been reinforced with rebars. This concrete will then be poured into a previously excavated trench and smoothed off to deliver an extremely reliable service.

Depending on the kind of soil you are working with, and the structure or foundations you intend to construct, the size and layout of footings will change. Footing contractors will be able to tell you how wide, how long and how deep your concrete footings need to be. You will also need a professional groundworks team to find the ideal layout for these footings to provide the most reliable support to your foundations.

What Makes Footings So Important for Your Property?

A good foundation, supported by work conducted by experienced footing contractors, are the most important parts of any construction. Without the correct foundations, any construction – from a multibed home to a piece of decking – can become unstable and potentially collapse. All kinds of buildings, including commercial, residential and industrial, all require reliable footings.

A Bespoke Service from Industry-Leading Footing Contractors

Here at Drainage Care, our experienced team will be able to deliver a reliable service to provide stable footings for your new-build or property extension. Our groundworks team has experience in installing a variety of footings to suit your property. We can provide both strip footings and piled foundations as required.

Strip footing contractors are some of the most common when it comes to residential properties. These are relatively simple for a professional team to install. They will deliver a long-term, reliable service to help your foundations stay strong in the face of ground subsidence or other issues.Piled foundations are commonly used in areas with more unstable ground, clay-based and low-quality soils. Piles are driven deep into the earth until they encounter more stable soil. These kinds of footings are ideal for properties with unstable soil, as it places the pressure of the foundations in the solid earth.
