This is HUD's first in a series of nine rehabilitation guidebooks that spread the word on state-of-the-art housing rehabilitation. Each of The Rehab Guide's will cover a distinct element of housing rehabilitation and corresponding issues. The Rehab Guide Volume One: Foundations, covers topics from the design and engineering of rehab foundation systems to shoring and repair, waterproofing, crack repair, drainage, and insulation.

The Rehab Guide: Foundations uses drawings and photographs to supplement written descriptions of several components of foundation rehabilitation:

• Foundation design and engineering.
• Permanent wood and prefabricated foundations.
• Drainage.
• Dampproofing and waterproofing.
• Insulation and ventilation.
• Shoring, underpinning, and repair.
• Crack repair, coating, and finishes.
