Weeping Tile Installation & Foundation Waterproofing
Homes in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s did not have weeping tile installed around the foundation. Weeping tile was not a technology available to home builders of that day. What we do is install weeping tile to move water away from the foundation. Once we install your weeping tile we will waterproof the exterior foundation walls.
Foundation Insulation Installation
Foundation insulation board is intended for use as a component in all types of foundation building systems and adds an R-Value of 8.08 to your foundation. It provides the following 4 key features in a properly designed foundation:
1. Insulation board provides a monolithic insulation layer eliminating thermal shorts and reducing thermal stresses that can cause cracking of concrete walls.
2. The board surface in contact with the soil provides a capillary-breaking layer, which directs water to the weeping tile.
3. The grooved surface of the board in contact with the foundation wall provides an additional drainage plane to relieve any hydrostatic pressure that may develop adjacent to the foundation wall and direct water to the weeping tile.
4. It protects waterproofing material from damage during backfill operation.
Crack Repair
Cracks may appear in foundations of all ages. If water pools near the crack it will leak into your basement. If this happens you will often see water running down the walls or water stains on the inside of the basement walls after it rains. In these cases we have to dig down around the crack and seal it properly.
