Your Stitt home foundation begins with concrete footings that meet or exceed local building codes. They’re surrounded by drainage tiles or forms that carry water away from your foundation to keep it dry and free of mold.
Foundation walls are formed with insulated concrete forms (ICFs) reinforced with steel. After the concrete is poured, work begins on the interior slab. A vapor barrier and reinforcing steel are put in place to create a floor that handles loads with ease and maintains a consistent, comfortable temperature. Surrounded by ICFs, your home’s foundation has an insulation value of R-22.
ICFs eliminate thermal bridging, which happens when traditional framing and foundation materials allow heat to easily move in and out of a home. Think about the difference between holding a hot cup with your bare hands versus wearing gloves. ICF foundations and walls act like a protective barrier, reducing heat transfer and helping your home stay comfortable year-round. The result is a more energy-efficient home with lower heating and cooling costs.
To eliminate moisture buildup in your foundation, we apply a waterproofing membrane to the exterior of your ICF foundations. We also ensure your foundation has adequate drainage. Both help your home meet Energy Star 3.0 guidelines for moisture control. A well-built energy envelope ensures your home will be free of mold and the odors and health issues that come with it.
