We all should be so rooted

There’s a reason trees don’t grow from concrete slabs. 

Turns out a slab isn’t the most stable way to anchor something to the earth. 

They can sink, buckle, crack, break, or, in a flood, just slide away. 

That’s why our homes don’t have concrete foundations. Instead, our 100% 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 loads.

Nicknamed the “metal tree stump,” Surefoot spreads its footing over a greater surface area, achieving larger load capacities faster and more cost-effectively.

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

Best of all, you can install a Surefoot in about half the time of a conventional foundation. 

It’s a pretty great system, but it would be remiss of us to claim too much credit. 

Anyway, the next time you install a Surefoot in an afternoon and feel grateful for the time you’ve saved, don’t thank us. 

Thank a tree.

Cheers,

Jeff
