[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you’re misinformed. Exterior drains are definitely still used/required.

Here’s Carroll County:

Of course if you have an existing house you can just get bigger gutters and call it a day but exterior drains are the standard. [/quote]

And you are still an idiot.  Exterior drain tile was always required for NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION while both interior, exterior, sump pumps and battery back-up pumps are required in PG county.  As usual, your comments have NOTHING to do with the discussion about an older home, that already has an exterior drain-as they all do-and how to remedy the situation of water intrusion.  There is no Fing code in any county in MD, VA, or DC that requires a contractor doing water proofing to put in, or replace an exterior drain and hardly anyone does.  It's nearly all interior drains tied to sump pumps, permitted where required.  Permits are not even required for this type of work in MOCO or HOCO.[/quote]
