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.
