The purpose of footing drain is to prevent build up of hydrostatic pressure, <br /> _ regardless of whether you have groundwater or not. <br /> The footing drain most likely will not see much volume, probably just a trickle, unless there's an unforeseen event such <br /> as utility leaks, etc. <br /> Siew <br /> Siew L.Tan, P.E. <br /> PanGEO, Inc. <br /> 3213 Eastlake Avenue East,Suite B <br /> Seattle, WA 98102 <br /> Office: 206.262.0370 <br /> Cel I: 206.406.8692 <br /> stan@pangeoinc.com <br /> .

See attached markup and <br /> questions below. <br /> Brian- How does the slab on grade foundation of the upper level transition to the basement level foundation?Can we <br /> put a vertical bend in the perimeter drain of the main level and tie it in to the lower level perimeter drain? <br /> On the south side, the edge of the footing butts up against the retaining wall. Do we need to route the drain under the <br /> footing here? If so, at what depth below and would you specify a certain pipe material? There is a similar condition at <br /> the north retaining wall along the property line. <br /> 1 <br />
