Choosing poured basement walls over a block basement should be
any easy choice to make considering the advantages of the poured basement wall.
Poured basement walls are stronger, drier, more durable, and can be constructed
more quickly than block basements. Even though our winters can be severe,
poured walls can be constructed year-round. In addition to this, poured
concrete walls are better suited for building on "marginal lands," and with the
great variety of soil types found in southeastern Wisconsin, this in important
advantage.
Poured wall basements also offer greater design flexibility,
which is important for the homes of today. Homes with poured walls will also
have greater resale value, which is an important consideration when building a
new home. Poured basements are also competitively priced, which makes them an
exceptional value considering their enhanced performance.
If basement
cracking or leakage were to occur, poured basements can be easily treated with
epoxy injections. Block basement repair can be costly, and often involves
excavation and disruption to the landscape of a home.
The choice is
clear. Choose a poured concrete foundation for your new home!
