DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OLD FOUNDATIONS AND NEW FOUNDATIONS:

Being able to move water away from your house structure is critical to prevent water damage/ infiltration into your home and control your basement humidity levels and overall human comfort .

There is constant water pressure on your exterior in ground foundation walls. Soil doesn't just sit there; dense clay and sandy loam trap water that pushes relentlessly against concrete walls until they leak (left).

A full exterior drainage assembly (right) diverts that water downward and safely away before it ever has the chance to seep through your slab keeping your walls and home safe.

Be safe! Be informed.

09/15/2026

CLOTH WIRES 101:

Cloth-insulated electrical wiring was commonly used in residential construction during the early to mid-20th century, particularly before modern plastic and thermoplastic insulation became widely available.
Depending on the age and type of installation, cloth wiring may be found in homes constructed from the early 1900s through approximately the 1950s and 1960s.

With age, the cloth covering and underlying insulation can become brittle, dry, cracked, or deteriorated.
Some older wiring systems may also lack the grounding and other safety features found in modern electrical installations. Wiring concealed within wall and ceiling cavities may be subject to additional deterioration from heat, moisture, rodents, previous alterations, or connections to newer electrical components.

The presence of cloth-insulated wiring does not, by itself, confirm that the electrical system is unsafe; however, its age and condition warrant further evaluation.
Deteriorated insulation, improper modifications, overloaded circuits, or defective connections can increase the potential for electrical shock, arcing, overheating, and fire.

BURN WARNING ⚠️:

Hot water can cause serious burns in seconds. To avoid scalding, set your water heater to 120°F or below.

Infants, children, and the elderly are especially vulnerable to burns when exposed to overly hot water.

Hot water scalds can occur quickly when bath or shower water temperatures are too high.

To avoid burn hazards, be sure to:

Make sure your water heater is set to a safe temperature for home use.
Use the industry chart below to provide guidance to avoid scalding.
Check the water temperature before placing a child in the bathtub.
Never leave a child alone or with other young children in the bathtub.

Water at 100 degF or below See safety note Most water heaters are unlikely to scald an adult occupant
Water at 120 degF in 5 minutes 2nd & 3rd degree burns on adult skin.
Water at 130 degF in 30 seconds 2nd & 3rd degree burns on adult skin.
Water at 140 degF in 5 seconds 2nd & 3rd degree burns on adult skin.
Water at 150 degF in 1.5 seconds 2nd & 3rd degree burns on adult skin.
