Block Foundations

Larger and heavier homes traditionally have stacked concrete block foundations.

Block foundations vs. poured concrete foundations: Which is right for you?

Typically seen in older homes, concrete block foundations are still a viable option for new construction projects. Because the concrete blocks are already solid and prepared, they don't require the same amount of curing time as poured concrete.

With that said, if you are constrained for time on your upcoming construction project, a concrete block foundation may be the best option - especially if you are building a larger and heavier home or building.

Due to their grout lines, concrete block foundations are more prone to leaks and water damage. If you decide to install a concrete block foundation, our contractors will design and build a proper waterproofing system.

Drain Tile & Damp Proofing Installation

Damp proofing and waterproofing your new foundation is essential to its longevity, integrity, and safety; however, they are not the same techniques.

Whether you opt for interior/exterior drain tile waterproofing or damp proofing (or both), our foundation builders will custom-design a system that protects your foundation for the long-term.

What’s the difference between damp proofing vs. drain tiling?

Damp proofing is a coated treatment applied to foundations, basements, or crawl spaces. Once sprayed, the asphalt coating functions as a moisture barrier and prevents water and humid air from passing through the foundation.

Damp proofing does not seal cracks or holes in the foundation, nor does it serve as a waterproofing or drainage system.

Drain tiles function as a drainage system. These porous pipes can run along with the interior or exterior of a foundation and redirect water away. They are especially beneficial in areas that are prone to heavy rain and snow. We can also provide sump pump installation in conjunction with a drain tile system.
