Spread footing foundations are common in houses, particularly those with basements. The base of the foundation is wider than the load-bearing walls, spreading the weight of the structure over a wider area. Vertical “steps” can be used for changes in elevation.
Concrete curbing is more durable than plastic, metal, or wood. Unlike these other products, it will not rot, rust, or become brittle. In addition, it easily adapts to the demands of the landscape.
Even though the pre-cast concrete is resistant to many things, won’t it eventually rot or have mildew build-up? Actually, it won’t. Pre-cast concrete is dense and tough, making it a natural enemy to rot, mildew, and fungi.
One of the reasons that cracks in concrete floors need to be repaired is the threat of radon gas seeping into a structure through these foundation openings. Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
If you are adding a concrete, asphalt, or gravel drive, concrete curbing prevents erosion of the adjoining land. If the drive is gravel, curbing keeps the material from drifting across the lawn.
