A representative of Terracon observed the perimeter drain construction at the referenced
site on June 21, 2002, as requested. A four -inch diameter perforated PVC pipe had been
placed around the exterior perimeter of the basement foundation. The drainage pipe
appeared to exhibit positive drainage toward the sump pump located within the basement
area. We also observed 1'Y2 inch washed gravel placed above and below the pipe. The
waterproof dampening of the foundation system was also observed and in our opinion was
completed in general accordance with standard residential practices.
In our opinion the exterior perimeter drain was constructed in general accordance with the
plans and specifications for this project.
Sincerely,
TERRACON
