It Starts With The Foundation : Certainteed Form-A-Drain

This is a pretty neat foundation project. Generally, if the ground in a foundation excavation is not firm, and hard, you have to use form boards. The form boards are set up, and the concrete poured, and the boards hold the footing concrete in place until it sets up. The form boards then have to be removed, loaded back on the truck, and on to the next foundation job. After that, perforated pipe has to be installed for th foundation drain. Form-A-Drain, as the name states, combines those two elements - it serves a form for the concrete footing, and instead of being removed, it remains in place to serve as the drainage pipe. It should certainly speed up the time and labor involved in developing the foundation.
