Waterproofing A Foundation

Waterproofing a foundation before you install concrete is a smart choice and should be planned out ahead of time to ensure sufficient results. When scheduling a waterproofing contractor, make sure to plan for it on your layout plans ahead of time because during the hectic season it can get very busy. Determining where the finish grade line will be is important because you will not want the black material to be exposed. Layout lines can be marked with chalk to show where the finish grade will occur. If the foundation is somewhat simple, typically the waterproofing can be applied a few inches away from the top of the foundation. Keep in mind that there may also be things like intersecting walls, porch foundations, and others concrete that will also need to be waterproofed.

However, authentic hardwood floors can be very expensive to install and require a lot of maintenance over the years to keep them in tip top shape. Because of this, some people choose to install laminate or linoleum instead, but these options have a short lifespan and can cause major problems that result in having to replace them down the line.
