What happens here
Once the soil is removed, a waterproofing company applies a protective layer and flashing to the building's exposed surfaces (garage roof and walls). After waterproofing, the void is carefully refilled with appropriate drainage materials, such as clear drainage aggregate, to ensure water does not accumulate against the structure. This step is crucial for managing subsurface water and preventing future infiltration. The speaker highlights that a properly designed system allows water to 'weep' evenly through the entire wall face, indicating effective drainage, rather than being concentrated at specific drain tiles, which could signal clogging or system failure.
