Concrete Foundations & Footings in Miami, FL
Miami Precision Concrete forms and pours footings, stem walls and foundation slabs for new homes, additions, garages and porches, and repairs failing foundations.
Miami sits on oolitic limestone with sandy fill and a high water table, and all work falls under the Florida Building Code HVHZ. Salt air also corrodes steel, so we use epoxy-coated or galvanized rebar with 2 inches of cover.
We pour foundations in Coral Gables, Kendall and Homestead, from Miami Beach to Doral.

Foundation & Footing Services
Footings & Foundation Walls
We set forms and rebar to the plans, schedule the inspection and pour continuous footings, stem walls or monolithic slabs on firm bearing.
Hurricane Tie-Down Footings
HVHZ plans call for strong anchorage. We pour footings with the dowels and anchor bolts the engineer specifies.
Raised Footings in Flood Zones
In FEMA flood zones the structure must sit above base flood elevation. We build stem walls to that height and can add a concrete retaining wall on the same trip.
Addition Footings
A new addition needs footings that tie into the old foundation. We dowel new to old per the plans and schedule inspections.
Foundation Replacement
When a garage or porch foundation breaks apart, we rebuild the footing to code and pour a new wall or concrete slab.
Crack Repair & Waterproofing
A crack that leaks or widens needs attention. We inject epoxy, damp-proof and fix grading; see why concrete cracks in Miami.
How We Build a Foundation
Plans & Permit Review
We review stamped plans and coordinate with Miami-Dade RER or your city building department.
Locates & Excavation
Sunshine 811 marks utilities, then we excavate to firm bearing. Limestone may need breaking out.
Steel, Forms & Inspection
We set forms, tie rebar with proper cover and call for inspection before the pour.

Foundation FAQs for Miami Homes
How deep do footings need to be in Miami?
Depth and width come from the stamped plans and Florida Building Code. HVHZ and soil conditions can require more.
What does foundation work cost?
We price from your plans after a site visit. Limestone, flood height and access drive cost.
Is Miami fill bad for foundations?
Sandy fill and a high water table are the issue. We dig to firm bearing and compact.
Can you fix the piers under my old house?
We pour new footings under existing piers. The piers themselves are set by a foundation or framing contractor.
Do foundation jobs need a permit?
Yes. New foundations and additions need permits and inspections.
What if you hit limestone?
Limestone near the surface is common. We discuss bearing on it or breaking it out first.
