2. Positive slope finish grading at foundation exterior.
3. Foundation waterproofing is un-matched in
performance.
4. Sealed utility penetrations to prevent water
ingress.
5. Drainage layer at foundation walls extending to the
footings.
6. Inspect and maintain footing drainage pipes.
7. Continuous, sealed air and vapour barriers on the
interior.
8. External foundation insulation prevents
condensation.
9. Keep the basement heated in the winter
months.
