Below Grade Leak Investigation

BUGTM OFDEDMONDS EPARTMENT
Follow are our observations and recommendations regarding the below grade leakage issues
into the utility space at your house.
BACKGROUND
Tony Thompson of RDH visited the Harper Residence located at 1026 Daley St Edmonds
Washington on July 07, 2011 to review existing conditions subject to periods of water
infiltration, to conduct water testing, and to identify the causes and pathways leading water
intrusion and silt accumulation problems in the below grade utility space.
The utility room where the homeowner has observed water infiltration is situated
partially below grade on the northwest corner of the house. We understand this area
was added approximately fifteen years ago to provide additional mechanical
equipment and storage space. The wood -framed structure of the house bears on
concrete foundation walls and spread footings approximately 2 feet tall, enclosing a 2 -
foot crawl space under the home. During the expansion of the utility room,
approximately 5 feet of soil was excavated from the area and a slab on grade floor
placed at the bottom of the excavation. Two by six pressure -treated wood -framed and
sheathed walls are constructed 6 inches away from the dirt shear cut walls.
We understand that in extreme inclement weather events moderate water infiltration
has been observed for years. A small sump pump exists in the northwest corner of the
utility room. We further understand that within the last year water infiltration has
increased and soil fines have been accumulating on the utility room floor.
OBSERVATIONS
1. EXTERIOR CONCRETE WALK WEST OF THE HOME ADJACENT TO THE UTILITY ROOM:
. A small concrete curb and strip is poured directly against the foundation wall in the
area adjacent to the utility room.(Photo SVR 01.00.02)

-4 Sidewalk sections are poured adjacent to the curb and strip.
The neighbor's walk and soil grades adjacent to the areas are slightly higher,
contributing to increased surface water runoff directed to the sidewalk area.
(Photo SVR 01.00.04)
The area is very pervious. Small,amounts of water in localized areas infiltrated into the
west wall of the utility room within 10 minutes of initiating water penetration
resistance testing. (Photo SVR 01.00.04) + (Photo SVR 01.00.05)
� The remainder of the walkway leading to the rear of the home is crushed gravel.
2. N.W. CORNER OF THE HOME STAIRS/DRIVEWAY/SIDING INTERFACE:
The interface between the stairs, driveway and siding at the northwest corner of the
house lacks flashing and weather resistant barrier. (Photo SVR 01.01.02)
Foundation modification at this location is susceptible to water infiltration. The boards
used to form the added concrete .were abandoned in place and are exposed to the
elements. (Photo SVR 01.01.02)
--> Splash block is shimmed up with soil.
Water cascading down the stairs migrates towards this area rather than away.
(Photo SVR01.01.01)
3. ENTRY STOOP AND FRONT WALK AREA:
-� During our. visual inspection of the utility room we observed evidence of water
infiltration and soil erosion in the northeast corner of the room.
(Photo SVR 01.2.00.02)
-� We performed a review of the exterior components adjacent to this area and observed
the following:
> The concrete stoop is poured over a stone masonry wall. The stone wall interfaces
with the wood -framed and siding portion of the home. Voids and cracks exist
where the differing materials interface. We water -tested isolated suspect areas
and observed water infiltrating the northeast corner of the utility room within 1
minute of initiating testing. (Photo SVR 01.200.01) + (Photo SVR 01.200.03)
> We observed similar conditions where the front walkway interfaces with the rock
wall and stoop. (Photo SVR 01.200.01) + (Photo SVR 01.200.04)
4. OTHER AT -GRADE OBSERVATIONS:
The back of the home faces south; a French drain system has been installed adjacent
to the home to divert water away from the foundation and crawl space areas.
The east elevation of the home has a gravel walkway with a pervious keystone
retention wall. Rain gutters/downspouts transport water away from the home via
underground tubing day lighted away from the home.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEXT STEPS AND/OR REPAIR
1. EXTERIOR CONCRETE WALK WEST OF THE HOME ADJACENT TO THE UTILITY ROOM:
Provide provisions for surface water to be gathered and carried away from the west
side of the home adjacent to the utility room.
Ideally the concrete walkway and stairs would be removed and replaced sloping away
from the home and incorporating a trench drain and drainage pipe to direct surface
water away from the home. The drainage pipe could be day lighted at the base and to
the west of the stairs. This will also facilitate relocating and incorporating the roof
gutter downspout, which currently terminates at the northwest corner of the home,
into the new drainage system.
Next to the walkway we recommend installing prefabricated composite sheet drainage
media against the foundation and footing to collect and channel water into a
conventional footing drain, a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel and geotextile
fabric. The discharge pipe would be joined with the discharge pipe of the surface
water drainage system.
2. NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE HOME STAIRS/DRIVEWAY/SIDING INTERFACE:
We recommend removing approximately 3 feet of siding from each side of lower corner
of this area to a height of approximately 3 feet. This will facilitate incorporating a
weather -resistant barrier to protect the corner of the structure prior to replacing the
concrete stairs.
3 The Previous recommendations are intended to address the primary cause of water
intrusion into the utility room west wall: soil and water ingress below the wood sill
plate.
—� The existing wood -framed wall inhibits visual observation of the shear cut soil wall
that supports the footing and foundation. Based on our limited observations, we
recommend cutting several observation holes in the sheathing of the west wall to
facilitate further investigation of this area. The holes should be cut near the ends of
the wall and near the center, 5 feet above the finished floor; this is the height of the
spread footing and foundation wall interface.
> If it is deemed necessary due to erosion of soils to provide supplementary
soil retention and structural support, it may be a viable and cost-saving option
to use the existing framed wall as a concrete form and pour/pump a concrete
wall while pouring the new walkway and stairs. We will discuss all available
options after we have the opportunity to further observe the area.
It would be prudent to budget for a drainage mat, drainage system, and lift pump
similar to the system proposed by Bodine construction, including the cost of a
shotcrete/gunite wall to structurally support the footing and foundation in that area if
deemed necessary after we have opportunity to further observe the area

3. ENTRY STOOP AND FRONT WALK AREA:
y The concrete stoop is poured over a stone masonry wall. The horizontal cold
joint/crack between the concrete stoop and the stone wall could be addressed with
some minor masonry repairs and installing a flashing that attaches to the vertical face
of the stoop, extending and slightly sloping out over the uneven edge of the rock wall
down aproxomitly 8 inches to shield this area from exposure to water.
The stone wall interfaces with the wood frame and siding portion of the home. We
recommend removing the siding in this area to facilitate incorporating a weather -
resistant barrier and/or flashing at the vertical interface, contiguous with the vertical
flashing described above.
RDH observed similar conditions where the front walkway interfaces with the rock wall
and stoop. Concrete cracks where the walkway interfaces with the stoop and rock wall
can be routed out and sealed with a sanded caulk joint. A professional sealant
installer can make these repairs visually acceptable and minimize water infiltration.
The area where the front walk, front stoop, landscaping strip, and rock wall interface
shows signs of moderate soil erosion. We recommend addressing this area
concurrently with the soil and compaction work to be performed along the walkway to
the north of the home.
We look forward to your review and comments on the above items. We should meet to review
these items, perhaps along with a contractor of your choice, to review these recommendations
and discuss next steps. We are prepared to assist you with preparation of drawings as needed
in order to provide a contractor the necessary direction and information to properly execute the
intended repairs.
Yours truly,
