Drainage Around The Footer

We found this extremely interesting. The tile drainage systems looks more like rocks and a long pipe. Bit it is a  system that collects subsurface water and moves it away from the foundation. Foundation drainage tile consists of a continuous run of perforated drainage pipes embedded in gravel along the outside perimeter of the footings. The great thing about Freedom is the openings face down so that soil doesn’t get in and back up the system. Seems logical, right? Well a lot of builders don’t do this!

Mike points out the drain tile, the sock and more.
