What are the three different types of foundations and which one does my house have?

Every house sits on a foundation. In this video, Dave discusses the three different types of foundations and explains how to tell which one your house has.

Here in Northern California every single house I’ve been under has had a crawlspace only maneuverable on your stomach 😂. I’ve only ever seen two houses with a crawlspace that you can kneel or bend down in.

In Oklahoma the water table is too high for basements they will flood and erode but many people will cut holes in their garage concrete for a tornado shelter that lasts 10-20 years before water rusts it out and it needs to be replaced.

Hi Dave, I inherited a house in Florida with crowl space about 2 feet high. The crowl space does not have access because it is closed with bricks in a way that the air circulates, is there a possibility that my floor is made of concrete slab ?. I feel that it is a solid floor when walking or jumping inside the house.
I have only seen in youtube videos with wooden crawling space and I have read that the wooden crawling space cannot be ventilated

why on earth is your explanation of foundations based around whether or not you can get under the house? that is the least important aspect of the differences in foundation types?

Quick question, very helpful.I do have a question on crawl spaces, or even slaps i guess, but how high can they go..Asking for security reasons

I have a small, wooded, level lot in very sandy central Florida. If you dig it's endless sand. I'd like to partially clear it, compact it and drop in a bunch of #57 in the form of a driveway to a clearing patch in the middle. But not just compact enough to drive over, but also a base for an eventual foundation for small/lightweight metal frame single story offgrid house. Is this possible and are their specific requirements I need to meet in Florida?

Why do homes sometimes have interior footings where a wall doesn't exist?

Which is a good foundation for a "tiny house" over 1, 000 square feet? And how to I take the wheels off after home is delivered and who do I pay to put on top?
