About Foundation 1st

Foundation 1st was built on years of hands-on experience in the waterproofing and crawl space industry. After spending more than a decade working for one of the top foundation companies in the country and serving as a Quality Assurance Specialist managing more than 40 crews, our founder decided to start Foundation 1st to provide more honest guidance and practical solutions. As a family-owned and operated company, we focus on helping homeowners understand what’s happening beneath their homes and offering multiple solutions to help them make informed decisions.

Our team specializes in waterproofing services and crawl space solutions for homes and commercial properties, including churches and boutiques, and we handle projects of all sizes. We provide free inspections, offer veteran discounts, and back our work with warranties for added peace of mind. With an excavation certification and years of field experience, we take a thoughtful approach to every project, focusing on solutions we’d feel comfortable using in our own homes while helping homeowners protect their property for the long term.

How We Can Help

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Moisture buildup beneath your home can lead to musty odors, uneven floors, and long-term damage, which is why we offer crawl space encapsulation designed to create a controlled environment. Our team installs dehumidifiers, sump pumps, drainage systems, and air sealing to help reduce humidity and improve energy efficiency. 

Waterproofing

Water intrusion around your foundation can lead to structural issues and unhealthy conditions, so we provide waterproofing solutions for crawl spaces and basements. Our waterproofing services include drainage and sump pump installation, as well as sealing techniques to help redirect water away from your home. 

Insulation

Temperature swings and humidity beneath your home can affect comfort and efficiency, which makes proper insulation an important part of moisture control. We install insulation in crawl spaces and basements to help regulate temperature and reduce energy loss. 

Drainage Systems

Standing water and poor drainage can quickly lead to foundation concerns and moisture problems. We install drainage systems designed to collect and redirect water away from crawl spaces and basements. 

Restoration

Damage caused by moisture, pests, or structural concerns often requires a thoughtful restoration approach. Our restoration services include repairing damaged materials, reinforcing floor supports, and addressing moisture-related issues. 

Vapor Barrier Installation

Ground moisture can rise into crawl spaces and basements, creating humidity and air quality concerns. Through our vapor barrier installation services, we install durable liners that help block moisture and protect structural components.
