[QUOTE="itzkwik, post: 1589761, member: 4222"] Sorry,stem wall was the improper term, footing is and the footing will move with the ground it is poured in thus moving whatever is on top of the footing which stem walls sit on top of a footing,right? In some instances,others you have various types of slabs and dependent upon how thick the slab is 4-8" and if they put the proper amount of rebar in it will determine its strength and ability to stay put. Correct me if im wrong,I'm not in the concrete business but I have seen alot of foundations poured from 4" thick to 4ft.. and then some for extremely heavy machinery to be placed on, most older homes have a 4" slab and have been under stress long enough for conditions like we are in now that it wouldnt take much movement for cracks to start. Like I said if I'm wrong please educate me,I don't like being misinformed and giving bad info to others. [/QUOTE]
