Foundation In

We recently had our foundation poured with much beefier footings that we're used to. The snow loads up here are much more than Northern Utah, so we had to accomodate.

While the hole was open, my dad and I installed some foundation drains to help get any moisture away from the foundation walls and out to the back of the home. I put in verticals at every corner I thought I might have a downspout. This drain turned out to be helpful since the excavator cut the water main without me knowing so when i turned the water on for a few minutes it filled the hole, the drain helped get it out.
