New construction waterproofing for homes and light commercial buildings with damp proofing or membranes, drainage board, footing drains and clean backfill.
The easiest time to waterproof a foundation is before the soil goes back. Once a house is finished, reaching the outside of a basement wall means digging, so builders who plan drainage and membranes early save their buyers a lot of trouble. In fast-growing parts of Nashville and the surrounding counties, new homes often sit on lots that were graded in a hurry, and a good foundation system is a quiet way to protect the home for the years ahead.
We work with builders, framers and concrete crews to schedule the waterproofing in the gap between foundation and backfill. We inspect the wall, repair honeycombing and form ties and apply damp proofing or a membrane suited to the design. We add drainage board, install the footing drain with stone and fabric, tie in downspout lines and sump pits and photograph everything before backfill. We discuss grading, window wells and slab vapor barriers with the builder and flag items to confirm with the engineer or inspector. Records are provided for the file.
