Problems concrete footings take care of

Trouble under a wall is hard to fix later, so before we pour concrete footings in Rock Springs, our licensed, fully insured crew sorts out soil, depth and weather.

  • Posts that lift each winter

    A post sitting in shallow ground gets pushed up and dropped back as the soil freezes and thaws. A footing that reaches below the frost line, where the ground stops freezing, sits under that movement.

  • A deck or porch that sags

    When a corner drops, the post is usually sitting on loose dirt or a pad too small to carry it, so we pour proper pads underneath. If the house itself has settled, that's a job for foundation raising.

  • A new wall with nothing under it

    An addition, garage or shop wall needs a base wider than the wall so its weight spreads into the soil. We run a continuous footing under walls and pads under posts or columns.

  • Old concrete in the way

    If the new footing has to run where a patio or walk already sits, we cut a clean line with concrete cutting instead of breaking out more slab than we need.

Will a trench do, or do my footings need forms?

I check how your soil holds a trench first, because that decides the method, and the method moves your price and schedule, which the written estimate lays out.

  • A trench footing works when:

    • The soil is heavy in clay
    • Trench walls stand straight after digging
    • The ground stays dry while we work
    • Small level differences won't matter
    • Keeping material cost down comes first

  • Built forms make sense when:

    • The soil is sandy or gravelly
    • Trench walls cave or crumble
    • The footing needs a precise, level top
    • Part of the footing sits above grade
    • Block or framing goes right on top

How a footing job goes with us

  1. You call or send the form

    Tell us the property address and what the footings will carry, and mention any soil report you have. We get back to you and set a time for me to come out.

  2. I walk the ground with you

    I come out myself, look at how your soil holds and talk through what's going on the footings. Then you get a written estimate with the method we'd use.

  3. We settle depth and permit

    We confirm the footing depth with the city before anyone digs. If the job needs a permit, we handle it with the city and start once it's issued and posted.

  4. Dig, form and pour

    We dig, build forms where the soil needs them and set the rebar, the steel that ties the footing together. Everything is set up and checked before the truck arrives.

  5. Curing and clean-up

    After the pour, the concrete sets the pace for stripping forms and covering it while it cures, the slow hardening it needs before it carries weight. Then we clean up the site.

What our concrete footing work includes

  1. A look at your soil

    We see how the ground holds a trench, because that decides how we form the footings.

  2. Layout and digging

    We mark the lines from your plans and dig the trenches or pad holes to the width and depth they need.

  3. Trench walls or forms

    We either pour against firm trench walls or build forms, whichever your ground calls for.

  4. Rebar set in place

    We tie and set the steel before the pour so the footing holds together under the load.

  5. The pour and a level top

    We place the concrete, work out the air pockets and strike the top level for whatever gets built on it.

  6. Clean-up

    We haul off extra dirt and debris and leave the site ready for the framer or mason.

What decides the cost of concrete footings?

Length and depth come first, since every extra foot of trench means more digging and more concrete, and a deeper footing means more of both. Then it's how wide the footings run and how many pads go under posts or columns. Your soil matters too, because ground that holds a clean trench lets us skip forms, while ground that won't hold one needs forms built, and that adds material and labor.

Then there's the site, like how close the truck can get, old concrete that has to come out first, or the prep a cold day needs. The part people want to trim is the depth and prep nobody sees once the wall is up, and that's the one place I won't help you save, because everything above rests on it. Your written estimate shows where your number lands.

Why Rock Springs owners call us for footings

We're based in Rock Springs and work in Green River and the cities around it. The Wyoming State Geological Survey says some of the state's ground holds or weathers into clay that swells and shrinks as moisture changes, which can crack a foundation that isn't built for it. Since its map is only general, it strongly recommends a soil study for each site, and if you have one, we plan the depth and method around it.

I learned prep on a restaurant line before I learned concrete, and footings reward it more than anything we pour, because nobody sees them once the wall goes up. I walk every job, our crew works with me on site, and we've done it that way since 2017. Call (307) 209-5832 and I'll come take a look.

Questions about footings

How much do concrete footings cost in Rock Springs?

Across the US, footings usually cost about $5 to $18 per linear foot. Where yours land depends on how long and deep they run, your soil and the site, so I walk each job and give you a written estimate for it.

Do I need a permit for footings in Rock Springs, and who gets it?

Usually, yes, when the footings are part of building or adding to a structure, since the city's permit rule covers that work and digging on a lot, and the Rock Springs Building Official can confirm it for your job. When you hire a contractor in Rock Springs, the contractor gets the permit, so that's on us. A change to the plan needs its own permit before it's made, and starting permit work early can bring an investigation fee equal to the permit fee, at least $250.

What is the best way to form footings in clay or sandy soil?

In clay-heavy soil that holds its shape, a trench footing poured straight into the dug trench is usually the least expensive way, because there's no form material to buy. Sandy or gravelly ground won't keep a clean trench, so we build forms there, which take more time and material but leave a more precise, level footing.

How deep do concrete footings need to be in Rock Springs?

They need to reach below the frost line, which in a cold climate like ours can mean going deeper, to guard against the heaving and shifting that freeze and thaw cause. Your local building officials can tell you the frost depth, and we settle the depth with the city before anyone digs.

Can you pour concrete footings in winter in Rock Springs?

Yes, on the right day, because one concrete standard requires the materials, steel, forms and any ground the concrete touches to be free of ice, snow and frost, and frozen materials can't go in. If the weather won't give us that, I'd rather move the pour date than rush it.

How do I get ready for a footing estimate?

Have the property address, what the footings will carry and any soil report you've had done. I'll walk the ground with you, see how it holds and put the estimate in writing, so call (307) 209-5832 or use the form to set it up.
