Welcome to Guildbrook Farm

Guildbrook Farm is a modern homestead in the foothills of Appalachia. We take our audience along on a journey to become more self-reliant by growing our own organic produce, raising animals for dairy and eggs, preparing food for long-term storage, and building off the grid renewable energy systems. In 2017, we moved to raw land where we are building a debt-free energy efficient and disaster resistant ICF mountain home. Join us as we learn to live a simple, sustainable lifestyle.

ICF Homestead Basement Waterproofing

ICF Homestead Basement Waterproofing

Today we are installing the ICF basement foundation waterproofing. We use an adhesive primer that rolls on followed by a peel and stick membrane. Finally we finish that with a layer of dimpled drain board. All of this channels the water down the wall to the foundation drain.
