Footers carry the weight of everything built above them. If the trench depth or alignment is off, that mistake gets buried under concrete and shows up later as a structural problem, not a quick fix.
CMJ digs footer trenches to exact spec off your plans, and Chris checks depth and alignment before the pour crew is called. It's a small step that prevents a big, expensive one from going wrong later.
