Progress continues as Morin Concrete Services completes another essential phase of construction stripping the foundation and applying waterproofing.
With the form panels removed, the foundation is now fully visible, revealing the strong, well-constructed base that will support the addition. This step marks a significant turning point in the project, moving us closer to the next phases of construction.
Once the concrete has properly set, removing the form panels allows us to inspect the foundation’s integrity and ensure that everything is in perfect alignment. A well-poured foundation is the backbone of any structure, and this careful process guarantees that it meets all necessary codes and structural requirements before we move forward.
Waterproofing is an often overlooked but crucial step in the longevity of a home’s foundation. By applying a specialized waterproofing membrane, we are sealing the foundation against moisture, which helps to:
- Prevent water infiltration that can lead to basement leaks and interior damage.
- Protect against foundation cracks and deterioration over time.
- Reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth, which thrive in damp environments.
- Improve the overall energy efficiency of the home by reducing humidity levels.
By taking the time to apply a high-quality waterproofing system, we are ensuring that this foundation remains dry, stable, and well-protected against the elements for years to come.
With the foundation now fully exposed and protected, we’re ready to move into the next phase of construction. In the coming days, the team will be focusing on:
- Backfilling around the foundation to provide further stability.
- Installing proper drainage systems to direct water away from the structure.
- Preparing for the framing stage, which will begin shaping the addition into a functional and livable space.
Every step of the process brings us closer to the final vision, and we’re excited to see this project continue taking shape.
