[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay but I’m not sure they can build a house without perimeter drains. [/quote] They can, they do, those houses pass inspection, and it does not violate local interpretations of building code. You seem greatly confused about the reality of the situation. And remember, code always is a bare minimum. “Best practice” would be mean building much better than code. The perimeter drains you obsess on are “best practice” - not the minimum requirement to meet code. [/quote] I think I’m like most homeowners where I’m not “obsessed” about any of this and would much prefer not to think about it at all - I just want to keep my family home safe and functional without getting completely ripped off. Basements are one of those areas where it’s basically impossible to get a straight answer because a) it’s complicated with a lot of variation between sites and b) scammers abound. [/quote]
