We believe strongly in giving back to the communities we serve, and Habitat for Humanity is an extremely worthy cause.” Mid-Atlantic Waterproofing’s systems are designed to protect basements and foundations, even in the most challenging drainage situations, for many years to come; supporting Arundel Habitat’s commitment to building high quality homes for low income families in need.
According to Dan Ellis, Arundel Habitat’s executive director, his organization has been ramping up their efforts and plans to build 16 new homes in 2008, up from 14 in 2007. “Our homes are built with a lot of community volunteers, and through a lot of hard work by the homeowners themselves, but some aspects really need the expertise and equipment from professional trades.
