Does a slab house need a footer?
Yes, a slab house typically requires a footer, also known as a footing. The footer serves as a stable base that helps distribute the weight of the structure and provides support, preventing settling or shifting over time. It is usually poured below the frost line to protect against ground movement due to freezing and thawing. Properly designed footers are essential for ensuring the long-term stability and durability of the slab foundation.

How do you tell if you have a monolithic foundation?
To determine if you have a monolithic foundation, check for a concrete slab that is poured all at once, typically encompassing the footing and foundation walls. Look for a flat, continuous surface without visible seams or separate footings. Additionally, you can inspect the structure's exterior; if the foundation is level with the ground and there are no visible blocks or piers, it’s likely monolithic. Consulting building plans or a professional can also provide clarity.
