Catching Up: Foundation Waterproofing

Here we see the foundation waterproofing underway. A waterproof layer is "painted" up to where the dirt will be backfilled. A drainage pipe is snaked along the foundation in a shallow trench where it will have drain outlets around the back or less visible side of the house. Over the drainage pipe is laid a layer of gravel, providing easy access to the pipe and more good drainage protection next to the foundation.
