Footer / Footing: size varies according to the amount of weight bearing, but a typical footing is 18-24 inches wide, 6-8 inches tall, and reinforced by steel.
Foundation wall: For most average sized homes in our area, the foundation wall is 6 inches wide and 2 feet tall. Again, steel reinforced concrete.
The footing is poured first with the foundation wall resting on top like an inverted T. Everything is tied together. The footing has rebar sticking out into the foundation wall so that it will bond when poured. The foundation wall likewise has short, hooked, and threaded steel rods placed into the top of the wall while still wet with the threaded end stick up. For a slab this is used to tie the bottom plate of the wall to the foundation with a vapor barrier placed in between. Time to move dirt.
After the walls and pads are poured, the home with a crawl space is ready for backfilling around the outside and framing to begin. A few more steps have to take place for the slab. First outside and inside of the foundation is backfilled and compacted. Two inch thick foam boards are then placed around the perimeter of the foundation for insulation. The plumbing contractor will then dig out lines for the underground plumbing. Time to backfill where the plumber has been and final grade for the slab. Two inches of crushed rock is spread on top of the fill dirt and compacted. Then we’re ready to pour the slab and begin framing.
