Dear Mr. Everitt:
On March 21, 2011 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. A sump pump was located on the interior side of the foundation walls. The
exterior perimeter drain pipe should drain towards and be connected to the subdivision under
drain.
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 additional information that is required. Thank
you for the opportunity to work with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Susan Tagg, P.E. 40343
