How the pieces fit

How foundation protection works

  1. 01

    Positive grade

    Ground that slopes away from the building helps keep surface runoff from collecting beside the foundation.

  2. 02

    Exterior wall treatment

    Our concrete-wall waterproofing includes a sprayed membrane and dimple board. Our block damp proofing is a spray-only application.

  3. 03

    Drainage aggregate & backfill

    Washed drainage stone provides spaces for water to move toward the foundation drain. Backfill material and placement follow the project requirements.

  4. 04

    Footing drain

    The footing drain collects water near the foundation and carries it toward the planned outlet. Drain elevation and discharge follow the project plans.
