1:15 best to backfill with all gravel, your going to have x-amount of settling in the coming months. #-o(Says pavers will be put back in this area)
1:35 tar/roofing cement (whatever!)… didn’t bring it ALL the way UP, not good. Also no visqueen etc over most of it, not good. (don’t see it at the end of video either) #-o
3:15 used Delta dimpled membrane against ‘part’ of basement wall #-o
3:55 ummm, SOME water will hit side of house/the wall.
10:50 water line, hope you guys used hydraulic cement AND thick tar (whatever) and visqueen over/around the ENTIRE area here.
11:35 backfilling the rest, still don’t see the tar etc all the way up, maybe they did but just saying, very important to bring it all the way up. NO delta membrane, no visqueen on this side of basement wall, not good.

It’s always an entertaining time reading your posts.
Keep em coming ,
I find foundation problems just like what you rant about weekly
even two this week alone.
Them downspouts sure are hard to get correct for homeowners and contractors
I see their absence destroy foundations or damage them severely all the time.
If you care to, Bubba is here to help homeowners in Ann Arbor, wherever…tired of seeing 'em get scr_wed.
