work shall be subject to HUD 35.930 and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. Scope of Work

should be clearly identified in the project plan.
This house will need a complete waterproofing system. It will need a sump pit dug in with an air tight
sealed lid. Must have at least 1/2 horse submergible sump pump installed. This will need to be piped in
PVC, a check valve installed, and discharged to the outside. There will need to be an electrical outlet
installed to code at the sump pit location. Exterior penetrations must be caulked. There will need to
be a tile or some sort of diversion system to direct the flow towards the pit. Currently there is steel
beams installed to reinforced the south wall. Those beams must be left in place when designing the
new system. The cinderblock walls will need a waterproof membrane to divert the water down into
the tile system. This project needs to be done as if possible future basement finish will most likely be
done. Building permit is required before work starts.
