Excavate and Prepare Sub-Base for Drainage

never quite right all right it we have excavated it where the water problem is and we got sloped pitching out to out right down to here because we're going to put an outlet for drain tile pull it put that down and we're going to put our three-quarter clear on top of that that then some kind of gator matter right the do's and don'ts of holding water back you don't want to put fabric behind your block when you have a water issue for water to permeate through because it does not like to go through the fabric especially with dirt in the way yeah so the water's just been trapped on this side not being able to get out and that is exactly what happened zach nailed it right there the filter fabric although it's permeable it's supposed to allow the water to go through gets boogered up with the fines and then the water becomes trapped and stagnant below the patio and instead of tearing everything out since we had a limited time and a limited budget on this project what we ended up doing was cutting a big hole in that filter fabric to allow the water to drop to go through we're gonna get that water that's falling off from that roof out
