What can you expect during a foundation installation project?

Our team will meet with the customer to go over their needs, shoot the grades and elevations, and address issues with drainage and accessibility. We will then lay out the footprint for the structure so excavation can begin.

Once the area is excavated, we will begin pouring you a new concrete foundation and install the drain tile and damp proofing.

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.
