A foundation detail specifies a drainage composite behind the wall connected to a footing drain with a functioning approved outlet and required filtration. Which option maintains that path?

Correct Answer

A) Use drainage composite to footing drain

The drainage composite conveys water to the specified footing-drain system. Blocking that path or ending it without an outlet does not implement the detail. Omitting specified filtration also changes it; the drainage layer does not replace waterproofing.

Answer Options
A
Use drainage composite to footing drain
B
Use impermeable board blocking drainage
C
Use filter fabric omitted around drain stone
D
Use solid pipe with no outlet

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The drainage composite conveys water to the specified footing-drain system. Blocking that path or ending it without an outlet does not implement the detail. Omitting specified filtration also changes it; the drainage layer does not replace waterproofing.
