I want to thank Weaver Superior Walls on a recent foundation install. Thank you for working with us on all the unplanned county delays and a dealing with a few bumps and bruises on the install. I want to give specific call-outs to Robert (just the greatest guy to work with and solve problems); Nate / Paul great on coordination, communication, and scheduling; and most of all, Scott as the coordinator, peacekeeper, and ditch digger with his eagerness to jump in the hole and grab a shovel to help (repeatedly)! We now have used a gen 1, 2, and 3 wall system across multiple installs over the last 20 years. We are happy to provide any kudos and feedback to other customers. We look forward to our next install! Once again. Thank you!

I have used Superior Walls with very good outcomes. I have just completed a large complicated foundation and I am very happy with the result. The wall system has many upgraded details and refinements since I last used them. The install crew was excellent and focused on a high quality product. An excellent experience all around.

Superior Walls foundations are dry. By using a special low water/cement- ratio concrete, our wall system requires no additional damp proofing.

It takes just five hours to install a typical home foundation.

A lot has been published about the dangers of radon. Does Superior Walls have a position on protection from radon?

Weaver Superior Walls | Oct 28, 2021
Weaver Superior Walls | Oct 28, 2021

Radon gas is a natural byproduct of depleted and disintegrating uranium. It's a radioactive heavy gaseous element that cannot be seen, tasted or smelled. Because the pressure in a dwelling is usually less than in the soil, radon can be drawn from deep within the earth into a home through foundation cracks or other openings. The surgeon general has warned that radon is second only to smoking as a leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. Proper building techniques can minimize the possibility of radon entering your home. The PA Department of Environment Resources urges the builders of new homes to put a radon venting system in place during the construction process. Building codes regarding radon vary from area to area, so be sure to discuss these issues with your local code enforcement officer.

Why isn't a concrete footer used with Superior Walls Basement System?

Weaver Superior Walls | Oct 28, 2021
Weaver Superior Walls | Oct 28, 2021

Many people are under the mistaken impression that a concrete footer is what keeps your house from settling. The primary purpose of a concrete footer is to provide a level, solid area on which to start laying block. Water can be trapped under a footer or slab, allowing hydrostatic pressure to build up leading to settling or heaving. The gravel footer system, promoted by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, allows water to drain away from the basement slab and wall system. A site that is properly drained will not have any water or noticeable settling problems.
