When I went to check to see if the foundation passed inspection, I was hoping to see the deficiencies on the platon installation cleaned up. Nope. But the weeping tile guys decided to put a landscape fabric over the rocks at the base of the footing instead. What is going on?
I don't even have a quote for this work! I had passed on a sketch for this idea in lieu of putting a sock on the weeping tile [which they did not do as I hoped]... The fabric will hopefully stop the silt from clogging the little holes in the weeping tile.
I hope they connected the weeping tile to the T-connection before the covered it all up! [I'll have to check from the inside, I guess...]
Ah, the saga continues...
Hi! I found your blog through the Green Edmonton blog. Crappy to read about your trouble with your weeping tile. What a pain.
