I have a customer that wants to extend their porch 2' on either side. I am going to sub contract out the footings portion, but I would like to get some info for my own knowledge. I was wondering what the best way was to add on to the existing footings.
I am guessing the porch footings go all the way down to the basement footings and I would like to avoid having to pay someone to go down that far. Is it general practice to tie into the existing house\porch footings with re bar? Our normal depth requirement for footings here in Michigan is 42".
