Exterior Drainage Pipes
Installing an exterior drainage pipe should help you protect your basement and foundation from outside water. But these systems are not without their faults.
Weep Holes
Weep holes are an important aspect of drainage as they allow water to escape from walls before damage occurs.
Porous Concrete Wall
Concrete walls tend to be porous and may let water into the basement. There are systems that you can put in place to compensate for this.
Downspouts
Downspouts are an essential part of any building’s drainage as they move water off the roof and away from the foundation.
Joists & Band Boards
The rim joists are an integral part of any subfloor framework and contribute to a home’s structural integrity.
Crawl Space
Crawl space foundations are cheaper than basements and work well in areas with drier weather.
Yard Grading
One of the primary purposes of yard grading is to spruce up your property’s curb appeal. But did you know that grading is also vital for the health of your home?
Poured Foundation Walls
The joint-free nature of poured foundation walls equals increased strength, water resistance, and drastically reduced basement moisture issues.
Basement
Basement waterproofing is crucial to protecting the structural integrity of your home. But how much do you know about basements?
