Spray foam and rigid foam were used under the slab while rigid foam wraps the exterior of the foundation walls.
Image
Spray foam extends down the foundation wall to the slab, which has been retrofitted by adding dimple plastic drainage mat and rigid foam insulation.
Image
Spray foam extends down the inside of the foundation wall to the uninsulated slab; because the wall lacked exterior perimeter drainage, the slab was cut and an interior footing drain was installed.
Image
Spray foam insulation extends down the foundation wall to the slab, which has been retrofitted by cutting the slab to install drainage mat against the wall and a new perimeter footing drain, along with rigid foam plastic above the slab.

Image
Termite shield extends under sill plate and through brick veneer below the through-wall flashing and weep holes.
Image
Termite shield is installed at the top of the foundation wall before installing sill plates; all seams and holes are sealed with epoxy
Image
The “continuous waterproofing” approach can be used to control groundwater in cases where the building foundation is below the groundwater table.
Image
The “draw down” approach can be used to control groundwater in cases where the building foundation is below the groundwater table.

Image
The basement slab is wrapped in a blanket of insulation including R-27 of closed-cell spray foam under the slab and R-22 ICF blocks wrapping the slab edges.
Image
The below-grade wall assembly includes dampproofing, draining details, and insulation.
Image
The blue foam sill gasket visible on the foundation wall will help ensure an air-tight connection with the double-wall assembly above.
Image
The components of a framed wall include from inside to out: gypsum, wood studs, OSB or plywood sheathing, and siding.
Image
The cripple wall hiding the post-and-pier foundation of this wood framed house toppled when the house was shifted partially off its piers by an earthquake
Image
The elevated concrete floor over this concrete column foundation uses rigid foam on its interior surface to reduce thermal bridging and risk of floodwater damage
Image
The existing slab is retrofitted by coating with epoxy paint, then installing rigid foam insulation and a floating subfloor.
Image
The existing slab is retrofitted with epoxy paint, rigid foam insulation, sleepers (furring strips), and subfloor.
Image
The flat retrofit foundation plate is used to connect the concrete foundation to the sill plate from the exterior of the building as part of a seismic retrofit
Image
The floor of the sealed insulated crawlspace is covered with a heavy plastic vapor-barrier sheathing that is taped at all seams and around the foundation piers to prevent water vapor from moving into the crawlspace.
Image
The goal of foundation moisture management is to construct the basement, crawlspace, or slab in a way that keeps moisture from getting in in the first place
Image
The Habitat affiliate makes its own “ICF” foundation walls with rigid foam held in place with wood spacers.
Image
The home’s slab-on-grade foundation is wrapped in a blanket of rigid foam extending completely under the slab and along the edges.
Image
The leaks in this foundation wall have been injection sealed to prevent water infiltration into the foundation.
Image
The pier foundation that lifts this home above flood waters is visible in this photo taken before the skirt walls were added.
Image
The polyethylene ground cover in the crawlspace is continuous at interior posts and piers
