PREVENT FOUNDATION ISSUES BEFORE YOUR HOME IS BUILT

Foundations that don’t have piers installed simply sit on top of the soil. That soil will eventually shift, compact, or sink, which will cause the foundation to move. If supported by a pier, rather than unstable soil, you won’t encounter foundation problems. Even if your home were to somehow sink in the future, the piers could simply be used to lift it back into place without having to go through the process of installation. IWP can provide these services and more, give us a call today for more information or to set up a FREE EVALUATION.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

  • What Is New Construction Underpinning?

    Underpinning is the process of installing piers to support, lift, or level your foundation. If done during the construction of your home, you won’t experience a sinking foundation in the future. Piers are installed by driving them deep into load-bearing soil, so they are stable and supportive. Foundations that don’t have piers installed simply sit on top of the soil. That soil will eventually shift, compact, or sink, which will cause the foundation to move. If supported by a pier, rather than unstable soil, you won’t encounter foundation problems.


    Even if your home were to somehow sink in the future, the piers can be used to lift it back into place without having to go through the process of installation.

  • Should I Waterproof My New Home?

    Your new home is one of your biggest investments. With that in mind, protecting that investment with basement or crawlspace waterproofing measures is a way to prevent problems in the future, and keep your home safe and dry. There are a number of waterproofing solutions to be considered as part of a new construction project, such as:


    • Basement or crawlspace encapsulation
    • Interior drainage solutions such as drain tile, sump pump, and dehumidifiers.
    • Exterior drainage solutions

    IWP can help start your home off on the right path, ensuring that potential water problems are avoided from the very start!

WATERPROOFING DURING NEW CONSTRUCTION

Once a basement or crawl space is built, it can be outfitted with a variety of products to prevent water damage and other issues that could eventually cause foundation problems:


  • Sump Pumps – These will help pump out any water that makes it into your basement to a place where it can’t cause harm to your home, usually a storm drain or dry well.
  • Encapsulation – This lines your basement or crawl space to provide a waterproof barrier that keeps out moisture that would otherwise cause damage to your home.
  • Drain Tiles – These are a network of drains and pipes that will lead water away from your foundation, basement, and crawl space to keep your home safe and moisture free.
