Saving a little can cost you BIG!

If price is your primary consideration during the construction process, your smart money is on the nominal additional investment to waterproof your foundation! Adding about 1% to the cost of your new construction can save you THOUSANDS in repairs and mold remediation later on.

If you leave all decisions up to your general contractor and cost is the primary consideration, the important step of waterproofing may get skipped to help the bottom line. On the above interior photos, this home is going to cost 50-100 times as much to fix as it would have cost to do it right the first time. This is NOT covered by insurance, as this is preventable.

On the exterior photos above, the insurance company is calling this flood damage. Because the house is not in a flood plane, the homeowner had no flood insurance. Saturation around the foundation caused the addition to settle about 2 inches which caused a gas leak and pulled all the electrical and plumbing lines apart, resulting in a dangerous mixture of LP gas, electric sparks and lots of water shooting around. Repair estimates exceed $60,000.
