Concrete Footings & Retaining Walls

Professional Footing and Retaining Wall Services

Concrete footings and retaining walls are essential structural elements that provide stability and prevent erosion. At PrimeForm Taunton Concrete, we design and construct footings and retaining walls that meet engineering specifications while enhancing your property's functionality and appearance. Our team has extensive experience working with challenging terrain and soil conditions throughout the Taunton area.

Whether you need footings for a new structure, a retaining wall to manage a sloped yard, or reinforcement for an existing installation, we deliver solutions that combine structural integrity with aesthetic appeal. We work with residential and commercial clients to solve drainage issues, create usable outdoor spaces, and protect property from soil erosion.

Concrete Footings for Every Application

Footings are the underground support system that distributes structural loads to the soil. Properly designed and installed footings are critical for preventing settling and structural failure. We install footings for a wide range of applications, ensuring each is sized and reinforced according to building codes and engineering requirements.

• Building Footings: Support for homes, garages, and commercial structures
• Column and Post Footings: Isolated pads for vertical support members
• Deck Footings: Stable bases for deck posts and support beams
• Fence Post Footings: Secure anchoring for fence installations
• Equipment Pads: Reinforced bases for HVAC units and machinery
• Retaining Wall Footings: Foundation support for wall systems

Retaining Wall Design and Construction

Retaining walls serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. They hold back soil on sloped properties, prevent erosion, create level areas for landscaping or construction, and can dramatically improve your property's appearance. We construct retaining walls using various methods including poured concrete, concrete block, and reinforced systems, selecting the best approach for your specific site conditions and design preferences.

Engineering and Drainage Considerations

Successful retaining wall projects require careful engineering and proper drainage design. Hydrostatic pressure from water buildup behind walls is a leading cause of failure. We incorporate drainage systems including weep holes, gravel backfill, and perforated drain pipes to manage water and protect your investment. For walls over four feet tall or those supporting significant loads, we work with structural engineers to ensure proper design and permitting.

Benefits of Professional Installation

DIY footing and retaining wall projects often fail due to inadequate design, poor drainage, or improper construction techniques. Professional installation ensures your structures meet code requirements, perform as intended, and last for decades. We handle all aspects of the project including site evaluation, excavation, reinforcement, concrete placement, and finishing.

Our retaining wall services complement our foundation and slab work, providing comprehensive structural solutions for your property. We also offer patio and walkway installation to create beautiful outdoor spaces on level areas created by retaining walls.
