As we all know, the roof and foundations are the most important in any house.
Regardless of the vertical and horizontal waterproofing of the foundations, drainage must also be done around them.
When we are building a new house it is much easier, but when you buy an already built house it is very likely that the previous owners did not do foundation drainage at all.
It is for this reason that we set a period of one calendar year in which to observe our new house and yard during the different seasons (mostly in the spring and autumn, when the rains are more noticeable and the groundwater is greater). Our lot is relatively level, but there is a slight unevenness, which during heavy rains collected a large amount of water exactly where we want to make our screened porch. If this is not corrected, it will undoubtedly lead to future problems.
That's why we decided to start with the drainage first...
Today we will look at the selection of geotextiles and the selection of drainage pipes for our drainage system...
Enjoy watching...
