Concrete Footings Orlando
Concrete Footings in Orlando, FL
The base that keeps walls, columns and structures stable
Footings spread a structure's load into the soil. We excavate, place reinforcement and pour footings for additions, walls, pergolas, screen enclosures and other structures.
Service overview
Concrete Footings services in Orlando
Footings are the widened concrete bases beneath walls, columns and posts. They can be continuous strips under walls or individual pads under columns and posts. Footings are often part of a foundation system but also stand alone for structures like garden walls, pergolas and freestanding canopies.
Footing dimensions and reinforcement depend on loads and soil. For permitted structures, they follow the plans. For smaller projects, we discuss requirements and when engineering may be needed.
Accurate excavation and layout are critical. Footings that are too shallow, too narrow or out of position can create problems for everything built above them.
Benefits & options
Concrete Footings options & benefits
Continuous vs. pad footings
Walls typically use continuous footings; posts and columns usually sit on individual pad footings.
Excavation
Trenches or holes are dug to plan dimensions and cleaned of loose material.
Reinforcement
Rebar is placed with proper spacing and cover using supports so it stays in position during the pour.
Inspection
Permitted footings are commonly inspected before concrete is placed.
Anchors and connections
Anchor bolts, dowels or post bases may be set in the footing to connect the structure above.

Sandy trenches
Sandy soil can cave in trench walls. Excavation is timed close to the pour to keep trenches clean.
High water table
In some areas, groundwater can be shallow, especially in the rainy season, which affects excavation.
Wind loads
Florida structures like pergolas and enclosures must account for wind; plans may specify footing sizes accordingly.
