Digging Footers? Here’s What You Need To Know First…

Digging footers may look simple, but there is a lot more to it than just following the paint marks and putting the bucket in the ground. On this job, we’re digging footers right beside an existing house, which means we have to pay close attention to layout, depth, width, grade, working room, and how close we are to the structure. In this video, I’ll walk through some of the things you need to think about before and during footer excavation. Whether you’re a homeowner, contractor, or just enjoy watching excavation work, this one gives a good look at what goes into preparing for a solid foundation.
