Foundation leaks
Understand where water is entering, the conditions around the wall, and the protection your space needs.
Consider it early
Coordinate concrete foundation protection while the plans, surfaces, and construction sequence can still be shaped.

A clearer starting point
The best-looking room begins with decisions made long before its finishes. For a below-grade concrete project, discuss the wall and slab assemblies, water-management approach, transitions, and construction timing together. Keep important details visible until they have been addressed.
Read the related field guideBring the latest drawings, site information, and any specified waterproofing details.
Identify wall-to-slab connections, penetrations, joints, changes of level, and adjacent assemblies.
Agree who owns each detail and what must be checked before it is covered.
Ask for the final scope, product information, installation records, and pre-cover photographs.
