An Overview of a Formworks Home ... page 7

Since our introduction in the late 70's, Formwork's homes have been the choice of more than a thousand earth-sheltered-home builders. Many of the non-Formworks earth-sheltered structures built by others over the years developed moisture, leaking, or moisture-related problems. This has not been the case with Formworks homes.

The unique arched, geometric design of Formworks structures combined with our superior water-proofing method keeps the Formworks home unfailingly dry even in such moist climates as the Pacific Northwestern United States.

As one of the largest concerns by our clients who want earth-sheltered structures, we began as early as 1978 to solve the problems associated with hydrostatic pressures, flow paths, and moisture migration. As a result, Formworks homes, even those built nearly twenty-years ago, have never suffered from moisture or leakage problems and should not experience any problems with moisture for hundreds of years, if ever.
