Concrete footings in Corona CA - a solid base built for the soil on your lot
Adding a wall, a room or a patio cover that needs real support? We plan the footings around your soil first, then pour them solid.
What concrete footings do for your house
A concrete footing is the wider base under a foundation, and it carries the weight of a wall, pier or column down to the soil. You need one any time you're building something heavy enough to sink if it sat on bare dirt, like a room addition, a block wall or the posts of a patio cover. We're based in Corona and take these jobs across the cities around it.
Footings carry everything above them, so before we dig I find out what they're holding up and what the soil report says. If an engineer has a design for your lot, that's what we build. Price and schedule turn on the same few things, how much digging the soil calls for, whether bad soil has to come out and be replaced, and when the inspections land. Your written estimate spells out what's included.
If your house is already sinking or cracking at one corner, that's usually a job for foundation raising, not new footings. And when a new footing has to go in under an existing slab, we open it up with concrete cutting first so the footing sits on soil, not old concrete.
Footings built for what they hold
You get footings planned around what they carry and the soil under them, so whatever you build on top starts on a solid base.

Footing questions we hear in Corona
What is the difference between continuous and pad footings?
A continuous footing runs the full length of the foundation under a wall, while a pad footing sits under one concentrated load, like a pier or a column. So the type follows what it holds up. Tell me what you're building and I'll tell you which one it needs.
Can expansive soil damage footings in Corona, and what does the city require?
Yes. Shallow spread footings are highly prone to damage from expansive soil, the kind that swells and shrinks with moisture. When it shows up within four feet of the finished ground level under a planned building, one option the city allows is replacing it to at least four feet deep with non-expansive, compacted soil before we pour.
Does a soil engineer decide how my footings are designed in Corona?
On many jobs, yes. Corona wants a soil engineering report with any grading permit application for a home or other development project unless the City Engineer waives it. When there isn't enough non-expansive soil on site, the soil engineer can reduce or waive the removal and recommend footing designs, and non-expansive fill can be brought in.
Can someone without a contractor license pour my footings in California?
Only on small jobs. California lets an unlicensed person take on minor work up to $1,000, up from $500, but only when the job needs no permit and they employ no one. The state licensing board defines a concrete contractor as one who forms, pours, places, finishes and installs concrete work.
How do I keep water away from my footings after the pour?
Keep the ground sloping away from the house and the foundation, because engineers say that's where keeping water out of the soil around footings starts. It matters most on soil that swells when it gets wet. When I walk the job, I'll show you where your water runs now.
