5. FAQs

Q: How deep should footings be in Barrie’s climate?
A: In Barrie and surrounding Simcoe County, building codes require footings to extend at least 48 inches (120 cm) below grade to protect against frost. The exact depth depends on soil conditions and structural load.

Q: Do I need a building permit for footings and foundation walls?
A: Yes. Any new construction or structural changes involving footings or foundation walls requires a building permit from the City of Barrie to ensure compliance with local regulations.

Q:  Can you reinforce or repair existing footings?
A: Absolutely. We offer underpinning, reinforcement, and repairs for aging or damaged concrete footings to restore structural stability.

Q: When do I need a structural engineer involved?
A: For larger projects, multi-level structures, or unusual load requirements, stamped engineering drawings may be necessary. We work alongside local engineers as needed.

Q: How long do concrete footings last?
A: Properly installed and maintained concrete footings typically last 50+ years. Ensuring proper drainage and addressing any early issues extends their lifespan.
