Concrete Footings in Charlotte NC: The Foundation of Stability

At MCR Concrete, concrete footing specialists in Charlotte NC, we know that footings are the most critical part of any structure. A properly built footing prevents settling, shifting, and structural problems. Our residential concrete specialists plan every detail: soil evaluation, proper depth below frost line, correct sizing for load, and reinforcement placement that ensures decades of stability.

Before building or repairing

Before building or repairing your footings, we evaluate soil conditions, check for rock or clay layers, and calculate proper size based on the load they'll carry. We excavate below frost line to prevent freeze-thaw damage and install reinforcement where needed. The concrete mix is designed for maximum strength and durability.

Basic maintenance

If you already have concrete footings and want to keep them in good condition: ensure proper drainage around the footings, check for cracks annually and seal them promptly, and keep vegetation away from the concrete. Avoid digging near footings and protect from freeze-thaw damage.

Why hire an experienced company

Hiring an experienced company means fewer surprises: trained personnel in footing construction techniques, knowledge of local soil conditions and building codes, quality control in excavation and placement, and warranty on completed work. Experience ensures correct technical decisions (depth, size, reinforcement, concrete strength) and proper documentation.

Excavation and preparation

We excavate to proper depth (below frost line), ensure level bottom, remove any unsuitable soil, and prepare the excavation for concrete placement. If we encounter rock or other issues, we notify you before proceeding.

Questions people ask us

What people want to know about footings

How deep should footings be?
In Charlotte NC, footings should be at least 12 inches below the frost line, typically 18-24 inches deep. For heavy structures or poor soil, they may need to be deeper. We evaluate your specific situation and follow local building codes.
What size footings do I need?
Size depends on the load they'll carry and soil conditions. Deck footings: typically 12"x12" or larger. Foundation footings: 16"x8" or larger. We calculate the exact size based on your specific structure and soil conditions.
Do you install reinforcement?
Yes, when needed. For most residential footings, we install steel reinforcement to prevent cracking and increase strength. The amount and placement depends on the size and load requirements.
How long does it take to build footings?
Depends on number and size. Small projects (4-6 footings): 1-2 days. Medium projects: 2-3 days. Large or complex projects: 3-5 days or more. We give you a specific timeline when we evaluate your project.
When can I build on my new footings?
You can start light construction after 7 days. For full load capacity, wait 28 days for maximum strength. We give you specific instructions based on your project requirements.
What if I hit rock while digging?
We handle that. We have the equipment to break through rock or modify the footing design if needed. If we encounter unexpected conditions, we discuss options with you before proceeding.
Do you get permits?
We can help you with the permit process, but permits are typically the property owner's responsibility. We provide all the technical information needed for permit applications.
How much do footings cost?
Cost depends on size, depth, number of footings, and site conditions. We visit your property for free, evaluate all factors and give you a fair, detailed price with no commitment.
