UP YOUR FOUNDATION KNOWLEDGE WITH THREE FACTS AND A JOKE
1. How your home’s foundation was built may affect how well it holds up. Solid foundation walls are created with quality concrete poured into wooden forms that have been set properly and remain in place while the concrete cures.
2. Some foundation contractors mix in scented agents to give concrete a more pleasant smell. Sage anyone?
3. It is good to have a reasonable amount of moisture on the exterior of your foundation to reduce the possibility of basement cracks & leaks developing from shrinkage in dry conditions. SEALED recommends watering the ground around your home in very dry weather. And be aware that large trees near to your home will make the foundation drier as they absorb a great deal of moisture.
4. Putting off a big project is like poured foundation concrete while it is setting. The longer you wait, the harder it gets.
