Here is the process of digging/installing the foundation drain replacement around one of my rental properties with a failing 60 year old original foundation drain.

Haha yeaaa definitely not a super fun job!
Te pusiste la 10! Excelente trabajo! saludos desde Rosario! Argentina
Thanks for watching way down in Argentina!!
Man, you’re awesome.
Thanks David!! Great to hear from you man. Love watching your adventures on Facebook!
nice work
had a similair job. had to grind off the old tar and re-tar it.. brutal
Yea I didn't end up grinding off the old tar since it was still in good condition. It didn't appear to leak any with a good amount of standing water so the the biggest issues were only during heavy rains when I think it would leak further up the wall!
Can this be completed while wearing a shirt? Or do I have to be shirtless? Love your channel ✨
It's possible. But the success rate is much higher shirtless!!
Would you mind sharing what products you are using? I'm a project manager and estimator for a commercial waterproofing company. I handle new construction. I'm interested in restoration.
Hey Jim, thanks for the comment! Let me see if I can list them all here for you.
White Sealer (Home Depot): Original 5 gal. White Flat Latex Interior/Exterior Basement and Masonry Waterproofer
***I'm not sold on this stuff compared to the tar sealer that I'll list below. I wish I could have sprayed this on but my smaller Graco sprayer couldn't handle it. I used this because it was sold in store and easier to get more if needed***
Tar Sealer (Lowes): APOC 139 0.9-Gallon Waterproof Roof Sealant
***This looks to be what was on there originally but it doesn't go a long way so I used it for the bottom row where the bottom block met the foundation. I couldn't get a roller down there that well with the first sealer so I doubled up with this.***
