I'm hoping that they pour the cement tomorrow, so it can have the whole weekend to dry...but I think it calls for rain tomorrow.
Yesterday this...looked like...
This...they put some tubing underground to pull water away from the home. Reduces the chance of flooding. WSSC came out today and inspected everything and the water and sewer installations passed...YAY!!!
Basement shots...ready, set, go!!!! To the right is where the steps are.
The far corner is where the full basement bathroom will be.
Over here in front of the bathroom will be the den/exercise room with full closet.
The area on the other side of the steps is the storage room - which stretches all the way across - yeah a huge storage room.
They also smoothed out the backyard some.
*it suppose to rain tonight up until 3pm tomorrow.*
Exterior waterproofing prevents water from entering foundation walls therefore preventing the wicking and molding of building materials. Waterproofing a structure from the exterior is the only method the IBC (International Building Code) recognizes as adequate to prevent structural damage caused by water intrusion. Prior to the 1980s much of the original exterior waterproofing was actually damp-proofing using a degradable asphalt-based covering. Waterproofing an existing basement begins with ecavating to the bottom sides of the footers. Once excavated the walls are then sealed with a waterproofing membrane and new drainage (weeping tiles) are placed at the side of the footing.
