Expert Footers for Long-Lasting Foundations
Serving Lima & Surrounding Areas
Comprehensive Footer Solutions
Engineered To Support Your Structure
Footers are the concrete base that transfers building loads safely into the soil, preventing settlement and structural movement. Lumpkins Drywall and Remodeling designs and builds continuous strip footers for foundation walls, isolated spread footers for columns, pier footers for decks and porches, and thickened-edge footers for monolithic slabs—each tailored to structural demands, soil capacity, drainage, and frost depth.
Whether you’re planning new construction, an addition, a detached garage, or need remediation of failed or undersized footers, our team delivers the right solution. We address common issues like cracking, differential settlement, and water undermining with engineered designs that improve load distribution, minimize cracking, and extend the life of your foundation.
From Assessment To Final Pour
We begin with a thorough site evaluation: reviewing plans, confirming layout and elevations, verifying soil bearing capacity, locating utilities, and planning drainage. Our team coordinates permitting and inspections, establishes control lines, and prepares a detailed scope of work so you know exactly what to expect before breaking ground.
During installation, we excavate to the required depth below frost line, install a compacted granular base, set precise forms, and place reinforcing steel per design (including continuous bars, corners, laps, and dowels). We then pour high-strength, air-entrained concrete, consolidate to remove voids, finish to elevation, and implement proper curing. After inspection approval, we proceed to stem walls or piers and manage backfill at the appropriate time.
Built To Last And Pass Inspection
Our footer designs follow applicable building codes and standards, including IRC/IBC provisions and ACI guidelines. We size footers based on wall or column loads, soil bearing values, and frost depth, using typical dimensions that may range wider and thicker for heavy loads or weaker soils. Reinforcement schedules specify bar sizes, spacing, cover, and dowels to ensure continuity between the footer and the supported structure.
We use durable, high-performance materials: 3,500–4,500 psi air-entrained concrete for freeze–thaw resistance; Grade 60 reinforcing steel (#4–#5) supported on chairs to maintain cover; and well-graded aggregates for a stable base. Where needed, we integrate drainage strategies—such as perimeter drains and positive grading—to protect the foundation system from hydrostatic pressure and erosion.
Quality control includes verification of excavation depth and width, base compaction, form alignment, and rebar placement before the pour. We monitor concrete delivery, slump, temperature, and placement methods, and can perform cylinder testing when specified. Detailed documentation, inspection coordination, and a clear workmanship warranty provide peace of mind along with maintenance guidance for long-term performance.
