Premier Basement Systems Case Studies: Rock and Mortar Damp Foundation on the South Hill

Premier Basement Systems Case Studies: Rock and Mortar Damp Foundation on the South Hill

Thursday, November 8th, 2018 by Shelby Pitts

Challenge

Our customers reached out to us concerned about the integrity of their foundation. They had just purchased this home and noticed the foundation had cracks, was crumbling and was damp. A new homebuyer’s worst nightmare!

Solution

We knew we needed to address all of their and our concerns in a cost-efficient way. It is recommended that the mortar in a rock/stone foundation is removed and replaced about every 10 years. This can be costly and time-consuming. Structural Spray Foam Insulation was the perfect permanent solution! Not only does it last the lifetime of the structure, but it also strengthens the integrity of a foundation, acts as a moisture barrier, and insulates it as well!!! By using this system, we were able to not only find a solution to all of the concerns at hand, but we also made their home more energy efficient! It was a win and win situation. Thank you for trusting us to find the best solution for your home!
