La fondation est placée sur un lit de drainage granulaire qui se prolonge de 300mm au-delà des semelles. Le remblai poreux, qu'il s’agisse du sol excavé bien drainé ou de nouveau matériau, est amené jusqu'à 300mm(12 po) du niveau définitif du sol et la partie restante est remblayée au moyen d’un matériau moins perméable ou du sol excavé placé en pente pour faciliter le ruissellement. Le matériau de drainage poreux dirige l'eau de la nappe phréatique vers le sous-sol, prévenant ainsi la création d’une pression hydrostatique et les fuites d’eau consécutives dans les murs et dans les planchers du sous-sol. Un puisard, conforme aux exigences du code du bâtiment évacue l'eau par gravité ou par un moyen mécanique. 2, record 2, French, - lit%20de%20drainage
