Image
Right – Interior grade is elevated and flood vents are located slightly above interior grade
Image
Right – Notch cut into pile takes less than 50% of cross section, cut is treated with wood preservative, and beam is installed with corrosion-resistant bolts.
Image
Right – Polyethylene sheeting completely covers the aggregate and the footing with no tears or open seams
Image
Right – Polyethylene sheeting is laid over aggregate and over footing to provide a capillary break between the ground and the slab and between the footing and the stem wall
Image
Right – Polyethylene sheeting vapor barrier is installed and sealed to the crawlspace walls with mastic
Image
Right – Prepoured foundation panels with integrated insulation and vapor barrier are installed in place.
Image
Right – R-20 of XPS and polyiso rigid foam were added on the slab shelf that is part of this precast foundation wall system.
Image
Right – Rain barrel installed with an overflow spout terminating at least 5 feet from foundation
Image
Image
Image
Right – Rigid foam was attached to the tops of the precast foundation walls to form an insulated edge for the floor slab.
Image
Right – Spray foam insulation was sprayed onto the ground and along the sides of the foundation walls and piers of this insulated crawl space.
Image
Image
Right – The drain slopes away from the foundation and terminates at the proper distance
Image
Right – The drain tile connects to a sump pump which will pump water away from the foundation
Image
Right – The drain tile is installed along the bottom of the entire foundation footing
Image
Right – The drain tile is wrapped in fabric which will prevent it clogging with debris
Image
Right – The entire first floor and second floor of these modular homes were assembled in the factory and installed on an insulated concrete basement foundation on site.
Image
Image
Right – The floor and wall system on this open-foundation home use rigid foam rather than fibrous cavity insulation to reduce risk of water damage.
Image
Right – The foundation of this ICF home was constructed of ICFs that were set in place on a gravel bed, then 3.5 inches (R-36) of closed-cell spray foam was sprayed directly onto the gravel, providing an effective air, vapor, and thermal barrier.
Image
Right – The foundation wall consists of prefab concrete wall panels with integrated insulation.
Image
Right – The insulated concrete forms that are below-grade have a damp-proof coating to prevent moisture seeping into the foundation
Image
Right – The joint between the foundation wall and the mud sill is thoroughly sealed with a liquid-applied sealant.
Image
Right – The latticework between columns in this raised foundation will allow free flow of water in the event of a flood
Image
Right – The raised slab foundation has a 3-ft stem wall of filled concrete block, then is back-filled with compacted dirt and crushed rock, then insulated with 1” rigid foam covered with taped vapor barrier, under a floor slab.
Image
Right – The raised-slab, brick-and-block stem wall, above-grade walls, and roof of this house use flood damage-resistant materials, integrated water, vapor, and air control layers, and construction methods which promote good drainage and rapid drying
Image
Right – The raised-slab, CMU block stem wall, above-grade walls, and roof of this house use flood damage-resistant materials, integrated water, vapor, and air control layers, and construction methods which promote good drainage and rapid drying
Image
Right – The raised-slab, poured-concrete stem wall, above-grade walls, and roof of this house use flood damage-resistant materials, integrated water, vapor, and air control layers, and construction methods which promote good drainage and rapid drying
Image
Right – The seam between the slab and the foundation wall is sealed with urethane caulk.
Image
Right – The slab is coated with two coats of epoxy paint to minimize moisture transfer through the slab from the ground.
Image
Image
Image
Right – This column foundation has no HVAC equipment, piping, electrical components, or structural walls below the elevated floor system
Image
Right – This crawlspace window was completely sealed off on the inside and outside with air barrier and water-proof materials and the window well was filled in to an above-grade height to prevent bulk water from entering the crawlspace
Image
Right – This floor system on a column foundation is insulated using closed-cell spray foam rather than fibrous insulation
Image
Right – This wall is constructed with the sill plate overhanging the top of the foundation wall so that when rigid foam is installed on the exterior of the foundation wall, its surface will align with the surface of the wall sheathing.
Image
Right – Two inches of rigid foam was installed on the ground before pouring the basement floor slab while precast, pre-insulated concrete panels comprise the basement walls.
Image
Image
Right – Walls, windows, and wiring are installed in the factory for these modular homes, which are installed at the site on basement foundations made of insulated concrete wall panels.
Image
Right-Flood resistant foundation walls lift the floor framing above the DFE and include flood openings to let flood waters pass through.
Image
Right-Polyethylene sheeting is correctly installed over aggregate and taped to pillars and foundation wall
Image
Image
Rigid foam extends under the full slab and lines the inside edges of the foundation walls.
Image
Rigid foam insulation and a thin slab were installed over the dirt and gravel of this sealed crawlspace
Image
Image
Image
Rigid foam provides the code-required insulation values for this floor and wall assembly so that fibrous cavity insulation can be avoided, reducing risk of floodwater damage
Image
Image
Rigid insulation and air-sealing can be used to thermally isolate garages from multifamily row houses/town houses with basement foundations in IECC Climate Zones 3 or higher.
