Where is the drainage and backfill aggregate around unit? There should be 12” of pea between unit and backfill soils to terminate approximately 6” for top of finished grade for drainage and to reduce expansive pressure against well

What about water drainage? Where does water go after a downpour?

Hi, I see that this was posted awhile ago but I'm gonna ask anyway. What is the white foam type looking material that looks like it is 4" wide and maybe 1/8" thick that you used between window framing and the brick wall? Thanks for posting this video. It has been very helpful.

Nice work guys, but holy, thats a lot of work to create a legal basement. Im in canada, and i thought our building code was strict! Guess i was wrong lol. Brand new homes here dont need that, just atleast one window in each room, including basement bedrooms that are capable of opening. Much cheaper than this! I know the reason is for safety but come on, thats a lot of work, and i can easily climb out of my basement window without that stair device lol. But anyway clearly you guys do quality work, i just think that code goes a little overboard
