Address Weep Hole Exposure (Correction of Plans)

What happens here

A change of plans was necessary during the project, requiring additional excavation. It was found that the initial grade lowering had not sufficiently exposed the weep holes (wicks) in the foundation. These weep holes are vital for allowing the building's foundation to 'breathe' and prevent moisture buildup. Workers carefully dug out more soil along the foundation to ensure all weep holes were fully exposed, thereby facilitating proper moisture management and contributing to a drier basement.

Goal: During the project, it was discovered that the initial excavation was insufficient to fully expose the foundation's weep holes. An additional effort was made to dig out more soil to ensure these crucial 'breathing' points for the building were adequately exposed.
