The size, type and installation of the continuous spread footing and the interior square footing reinforcement is approved. At the time of this observation, the #4 hooked dowel reinforcement was on site and it is to be installed in the freshly placed footing concrete. The dowel installation and spacing is to be verified when the foundation wall reinforcement is observed. The continuous footing form dimensions and reinforcement and the interior footing form dimensions and reinforcement are consistent with the foundation design by Axiom Structural Engineering, LLC, project number: JAMB-08I08-28-25, dated September 15, 2008.

The reinforcement observed meets the specifications for size, type and installation in accordance with the foundation design drawings by Axiom Structural Engineering, LLC, project number: JAMB- 08I08-28-25, dated September 15, 2008. We also observed the #4 rebar `Ufer' ground rod that projects vertically from the top of the exterior Southwest corner of the garage foundation wall. The `Ufer' ground rod is lapped approximately 3'-0" and it is tied to the bottom row of the continuous horizontal foundation wall reinforcement. The vertical projection of the `Ufer' ground rod is located approximately 5'-0" along the South garage foundation wall from the Southwest foundation corner as described above. The strap -tie anchors were observed on the site and are to be located in the foundation walls as indicated on the plan referenced above. Please refer to the enclosed photographs. If you have any questions, or if we may be of further service, please contact this office at your convenience. Sincerely, Axiom Structural Engineering, LLC o`�PQ 0 RE �eveH.ellums, P.E.

The sub -drain pipe is connected to a sump pit in the basement. The homeowner should check the sump pit periodically for water. If water accumulates in the pit, a licensed plumber and electrician should install a submersible pump with an automatic float switch. The pipe from the pit should discharge at an acceptable location away from all foundation walls, window wells and exterior concrete flatwork. At the time of this observation the foundation sub -drain materials appeared to be properly installed. We also observed the spray -on damp proofing applied to the exterior of the basement foundation walls. The damp proofing appears to adequately cover the basement foundation. walls. Please note that spray on damp proofing is typically effective for reducing moisture infiltration in the absence of hydrostatic pressure. Spray on damp proofing does not create a waterproof barrier that is capable of resisting moisture infiltration under hydrostatic pressure. Thus it may be possible for water to infiltrate the foundation, particularly at form -tie penetrations and hairline cracks that sometimes occur from shrinkage, especially near basement window openings. It is important to provide and maintain drainage paths that allow all surface water to flow quickly away from all foundation walls, window wells and exterior concrete flatwork.
