Is there a standard for how high the waterproofing on the outside of a poured concrete foundation should be, for example, 6 inches above grade or below grade?
I'm buying a house in NE Pennsylvania and the builder is claiming it only has to be 4-6 inches below grade. Dirt has been pushed above the sealant and I would also need to add topsoil before I could plant anything. There is a lot of clay in the soil.
If anyone has the information from the International Residential Code I would appreciate it!
