The best foundation for your garage!!! 

Ya I do not like putting wood in the ground.

Thanks John

Already talking like a veteran concrete guy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Watch videos from north European countries they have honked this technology for a while now. American contractors not engineers still do not understand or pretend that they do not understand what they are doing . Putting drainage pipe under the foam is questionable. Ok wrong . All bulk water, after it runs of foam sheets, has to dig holes back to the the house to find that pipe . Even better, find an engineer who specializes in such foundations and pay him by hour

@@andreycham4797 Hi there. The reason why the drainage is placed under, is not only for the water coming down off the sides of the building, but because there might be water coming from ALL around the surrounding building, say after a warm melt after a snowy Winter, or a massive down pour. You ALWAYs need drainage around a building here in North America. If someone has a full basement, the drainage pipe is at the base of the basement and sloped all around the building so water does not head towards the basement walls. The drainage pipe system is also graded to slope so that the water will head out to daylight. The opening to daylight is AGAIN lower than where the drainage pipe is so water will continue to move away from the base of the basement. It is the science of proper foundation care. Yes, European countries, some of them, might have a good idea AND here in Canada, way up in the Northern communities, there have been quite a few projects applied with frost protected foundation. There is enough literature written and diagrams to show what has worked. Frost travels at a 30 degree angle. In this project you noticed Bondo placed a 4 foot wide and not only a 2 foot wide insulation rigid foam surface. This will help keep the frost from angling in and getting to the foundation because he pushed out the protection an extra 2 feet by using 4 feet wide. Hope that helps you Cham. Cheers from Eastern Canada.

Your drainage pipe will not work under foam 90 percent or more of the time because you diverted that water way with foam sheets. Now take two bottles with water, connect them with a hose and try to lift one higher than you will see that water levels equalizes all the time. So what I proofed here that , if you place a pipe at the end of sheets below footings even if it is 5-6 feet away from your foundation , it will be no water at footing because it drains through soil to the drainage pipe .

That makes absolutely no sense. By code, if you have a full basement, you need to be below the frost line. Where I am outside of Ottawa, it's 5 ft, and there is no need or point to frost protection. The same applies to the drain. Virtually few to none with a FPSF can drain to daylight if their drain is 6 ft underground without a buried sump bucket and pump. How would you even access it? Maybe I'm not understanding your comment??
