Waterproofing and Drainage complete

All of the footing drains and the window well and stairwell drains have been completed and the sump basin is in place.  All of the drains have been wrapped in filter fabric.  The ground under the slab has been cleaned up and prepped.  Tomorrow they will install the vapor barrier and the insulation board and then it will be ready for slab inspection and pouring.

The excavator made its return to the jobsite to begin the backfill.  Backfill will be completed once the first floor subfloor is in place (to brace the walls).

Overall the backyard is starting to slowly starting to get cleaned up and the major dirt piles removed.

Stairwell dirt slope - tomorrow they will finish building and setting the forms for the steps.

This is just a closeup of the exterior waterproofing layers:  membrane, insulation board, drain board, and filter fabric.  Can't get much more waterproof than this.

  1. This looks so excellent! Nice to see how all the,parts are coming together now. And with things cleaned up around the site, you can see it's almost ready for the big pour.

    Didn't understand how the stairs (forms) would work, but now that I see the dirt slope, that makes sense (the forms will rest on the dirt slope).

    Like seeing all the interior drains tied into the sump.
