    Frequently Asked Questions

    What's the difference between strip and spread footings?

    Strip footings run continuously under load-bearing walls, while spread (pad) footings are individual, isolated pads that support single columns or posts.

    How deep should a foundation footing be?

    Depth depends on your local frost line and soil-bearing capacity — often 12–24 inches for residential work, but always check local building codes.

    Do I need rebar in my footing?

    Most footings require reinforcement steel — use the Rebar Calculator or Steel Weight Calculator alongside this one, and confirm sizing with an engineer.
