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.

did is we peeled the dirt off from the top of the parking garage hauled that away had a Waterproofing Company come in waterproof and Flash the building and then we put everything back in place so show and it's working perfectly fact uh shows how we did that portion of it we'll just walk down here I think this wall is I don't know 4 500 ft long I don't even know here's another part of it you can see the garage underneath let's look deeper into this because this is where the plaza is right above us so the plaza that we're going to be scraping we're going to come we're going to go we're going to exit there we're going to come into this Plaza here remove all of this soil all through there 1100 cubic yards and we're going to exit out down that way so it shows you the extent of the work I think it was probably a quar million dollar repair that we had to do here a couple years ago and now they're just getting to the other portions that we having issues you can actually see 6 hours ago we had rain can actually see how the wall itself is weeping this is a great example I tell my customers I'm going to tell you the same thing you should never see water coming from the drain tile
