Frost Depth

Frost depth is the maximum depth to which soil moisture is expected to freeze in a given climate over a typical winter. Footings are placed below frost depth so that seasonal freezing and thawing of the soil — which can heave and shift shallower foundations — doesn't affect the structure above.

Compiled by the Reborn Rental team, backed by our field engineers and dispatch staff working Denver-metro concrete washout and equipment rental jobs.
