Customer Responsibilities:
- Grading and Backfill: Maintain proper soil grading and backfill around the foundation and the concrete slabs after the project is complete.
- Gutters and Drainage: Ensure functional gutters direct water away from the foundation and edges of concrete slabs when possible.
- Cracks and Sealants: Seal expansion joints to prevent water infiltration which can cause erosion and slab settling.
- Access and Utilities: Provide clear access to the work area and mark private utilities (example: low voltage lighting, sprinkler lines, etc.) beforehand.
- Presence: Homeowner or designee presence is required (unless prior arrangements approved) prior to commencing work and after work completion (see service fees).
- Underground Awareness: We highly suggest that homeowners and business owners fully explore the area to be leveled and provide us with any known details about underground features, utilities, or structures present in the work zone.

Guarantee Terms:

Expanding Foam Disclaimer
Suburban Basement is not liable for any damage resulting from the expansion of foam into concealed or underground spaces such as drains, downspouts, or other utility conduits. This includes, but is not limited to, the displacement or bulging of pool liners, damage to buried components, or harm caused by the foam’s interaction with sensitive materials. The homeowner acknowledges and accepts the inherent risk of foam entering unknown cavities or structures during the repair process.
