Concrete Footing Service for St. Paul Minnesota
At GCI- Gallagher Concrete Inc., we find that home owners many times take footings for granted or do not understand the importance of proper footings for their home projects.
We work with St. Paul home owners to pour footings for outdoor structures such as:
Outdoor structures are supported by a basic foundation called footings. Structures that do not have strong and stable foundations will weaken and deteriorate over time which can result in possible injury to the occupants and loss of property.
Footings are imperative because they eliminate settling and slippage.
Work with GCI- Gallagher Concrete Inc. today to help protect your home and landscaping structures today. Any posts or beams that touch the ground and earth directly will rot more quickly and ultimately weaken the structure.
Footings also prevent frost movement. Minnesota winters can be harsh and will drastically affect the safety, longevity and quality of your home and structures. When soil freezes, it will cause movement in the soil. The movement of the soil will push up on the posts and the structure it is attached to.
Small movements over time are expected and acceptable. When movement of more than 1 inch occurs, there is often structural damage. If the structure is attached to a home, even more damage may occur.
Our staff is familiar with overcoming common problems such as misplaced footings, spanning over a soft spot, dealing with water in the excavation, and changes in elevation,
