Dear Mr. Stanton:
On October 3, 2012, a representative of this office visited the site referenced above to observe
the perimeter drain and the damp -proofing of the exterior foundation walls that retain earth and
enclose habitable or usable spaces located below grade. The perforated pipe was bedded in
gravel, with building paper over the pipe. There were two sump pits located on the interior side
of the foundation walls. The exterior perimeter drain pipe should drain towards and the pipe
were connected to their respective sump pits.
The damp -proofing appeared to adequately cover the foundation walls. The damp -proofing
application is used to help reduce moisture that can permeate through the foundation wall.
Damp -proofing is effective in the absence of hydrostatic pressure and cracks in the foundation.
It is important to keep vegetation that requires watering out of the backfill area of the foundation
excavation.
Please contact this office if there are questions, or if additional information is required. Thank
you for the opportunity to work with you on this project.
