The problem

Old footings turn up once the floor is open

Renovating an older timber home can uncover deteriorated, inadequate or poorly positioned footings.

Traditional replacement may involve extensive excavation, concrete, soil removal and difficult access beneath the existing structure. By the time the problem is visible, the walls are up, the floor is open and there is no way to get a machine anywhere near it.

The solution

Driven by hand, through the floor framing

Pro Screw Footings can supply and install galvanised screw footings through exposed floor framing using our compact handheld driver.

This provides an efficient option for renovation projects where conventional machinery cannot enter the building.

  • Installation through exposed floor framing
  • No excavator access required
  • Minimal digging and spoil removal
  • No concrete curing delays
  • Immediate load bearing capability
  • Adjustable connections available
  • Supply and professional installation
  • Suitable for restricted access properties

Engineering

Every renovation is different

Footing size, quantity, depth and connection details must suit the building loads, the existing structure and the ground conditions on that site.

Where engineering is required, the footing arrangement can be assessed and specified for the particular project.
