Your Foundation Is Only as Good as the Hole It Sits In
A foundation that is the wrong depth, sits on unstable soil, or does not drain properly will crack, shift, and settle. In Cheyenne, the frost line sits at about 42 inches, which means footings need to be at least that deep. Clay soil adds complexity because it expands when wet and shrinks when dry. Getting the excavation right is not optional. It is what keeps your building level for the next 50 years.
How Deep Do Footings Need to Be in Cheyenne, WY?
Footings in Cheyenne must be at least 42 inches deep to stay below the frost line and prevent frost heave. Full basements dig 8-10 feet deep.
