Landscaping
Access must be provided to and around the foundation at points not more than 2′ below the top of the foundational wall. If site access is limited and/or wet conditions exist, either of which may require gravel, extra grading, towing, concrete pumps or cranes, the additional cost will be passed along to the builder. Uni-Foundations, Inc. cannot be responsible for damage to roads, curbs, sidewalks and landscaping caused by the movement of heavy equipment.
Driveways
Yes. As concrete cures the mixing water used in concrete evaporates from the concrete as causes the concrete to shrink. This may result in some cracks in the foundation. These cracks are not a structural concern and will not cause a water leak if the foundation is waterproofed. Cracks in concrete walls and slabs are a common occurrence. They appear in floors, driveways, walks, structural beams and walls. Cracking cannot be prevented but it can be significantly reduced or controlled when the causes are taken into account and preventative steps are taken. Most cracks should not be a cause for alarm.
Excavation
Uni-Foundations, Inc. provides an estimate at no cost to the builder. In order to do this we need a foundation plan and cross sections delivered to our offices. The estimate is not a quote nor is it guaranteed. Please review the estimate carefully as it outlines the scope and details of work to be performed and is illustrative of how we price and bill our work. You will be charged from our price list for only the work performed. The slope of the site, depth of excavation, discovery of rock, poor soil conditions, etc. may affect wall heights or footing thickness and add to the cost of the project.
Retaining Walls
Contact us for your retaining wall needs. Retaining wall supporting more than 48 inches of unbalanced backfill that do not have permanent lateral support at the top or bottom require a design. If a design is required, we would be glad to give you to estimate once you have an approved set of plans.

Window Installation/Replacement
Window and door openings are formed with treated wood. All opening sizes provided by the builder will be considered as wood to wood dimensions unless otherwise noted on the plan.
Gutters
Concrete in and of itself, is virtually watertight. But once you build a wall, you are likely to get shrinkage cracks which may allow water to penetrate the wall. As with all other parts of your house, basement walls are not necessarily waterproof. It is with the interrelation of other systems and the foundation system that keeps the basement dry. Some basements have a waterproofing system that was installed on the underground portions of your foundation. This will prevent the entrance of water from the surrounding soil. However, whether your foundation was waterproofed or not should not dictate whether it leaks. Repairs of basement leaks depend on quite a few variables and conditions. Before making extensive or expensive structural repairs to correct wet wall conditions you need to check other systems on the house that your foundation depends on to work correctly. The first is your drainage system. It is setup in two distinct systems. One is the system that handles surface water and the second is the system that handles the subsurface water. First, start with the surface water system. In many instances repairing, adjusting gutters and downspouts to help carry the water away from the foundation walls is all that is needed. A very important surface water system that is critical to the complete drainage system is the correct landscaping. The finish grade should be 6” below the top of the foundation wall. There should be 6” of pitch in the first ten feet away from the foundation. If you cannot attain this, a French drain or other consideration may be needed. The grade and landscaping must be cared for continuously to assure the health of the drainage system. Almost all foundation leaks are from poor landscaping. The subsurface water system consists of a drain tile system which will get the water to the sump pump. The sump pump must be in working order and should be checked periodically. Water does not have to run into the sump pump for the system to be working. There are numerous other outlets under the footings or floors for the water to go. Therefore, if you feel that this system may be compromised in some way, call the builder to have an expert look into it. If all these systems are working and there is still a leak, if it is a poured concrete foundation the source of the leak can be injected with a urethane or epoxy from the inside of the foundation.
