The Earth spins at 1,000 mph — your home should grip it tight

To be clear, a thousand miles per hour is how fast the Earth spins near the equator. In most of the United States, it’s around 700 mph, give or take. 

Still, that’s pretty fast.* So it doesn’t make sense that your home rides a flat slab of concrete. Especially given the way concrete slabs can sink, buckle, crack, break, and slide. It doesn’t make sense to us, anyway. We think homes ought to have a firm grip on the surface of the planet. 

That’s why ours do. 

Momo’s 100-percent-steel Surefoot system works like a tree’s deep root network, securely connecting our foundation to the earth while resisting gravity, uplift, shear, and moment load (a rotational force).

The Surefoot system (AKA the “metal tree stump”) spreads its footing over a greater

surface area than the standard foundations used in stick-and-brick homes, achieving larger load capacities faster and more cost-effectively.

Even better, Surefoot footings provide a stable base in any penetrable soil: sands, silts, clays, small gravels, and even solid rock.

Best of all, a builder can install a Surefoot in about half the time of a conventional

foundation. Which saves them time and you money. 

And nobody goes whirling into space. 

*FYI: It’s about the speed of the fastest-ever land vehicle, the Thrust SSC, which broke the sound barrier.
