Drainage systems are one of the most important stages in residential construction. Drainage systems in any type foundation are commonly misunderstood by the property owner simply because they are hidden and not visible to the eye. Since they are buried deep they cannot be easily modified or corrected. For this reason, it is vitally important that they are installed correctly.

Water can seep into cavities of the cement blocks, which compromises your foundation.

Drain Holes: Drain holes are drilled into the bottom of these cavities and block joints to permit this water to flow out to the wet shield.

Wet Shield: A wet shield is made of PVC and has a flexible hinge to adapt to the contours at the job site. It controls water soaking in around the foundation, thereby relieving hydrostatic pressure.

Drain Tile: ECBH20 uses rigid 4” perforated drain tile for fast, clog-free drainage.

Washed Rock: (3/4)” diameter) is placed around and beneath the drain tile. The size is critical to its effectiveness as a drainage medium and to ensure non-blockage of the
drain holes.
