Re: Exterior Perimeter Drain Observation
Stanton Creek — Phase 4
1121 Saint Croix Place — Lot 55
Fort Collins, Colorado
Terracon Project No. 20025134
A representative of Terracon observed the perimeter drain at the above referenced address on
February 4, 2003, as requested. A four -inch diameter perforated PVC pipe had been placed around
the exterior perimeter of the basement foundation with an impervious PVC membrane placed under
the drainage system. The drainage pipe appeared to exhibit positive drainage toward the sump pit
located within the basement area. We also observed % to 1-inch washed gravel placed above and
below the pipe and drainage filter fabric above the gravel. The waterproof dampening was also
observed and in our opinion was uniformly applied to the exterior foundations.
In our opinion the exterior perimeter drain was constructed in general accordance with the plans and
specifications for this project.
