Form-a-drain close up
Originally uploaded by dmcook216.

Here is a close up of the footer forms we are using. Unlike traditional footer forms, these stay in place once the concrete is poured. They are slotted and hollow, so that any water that may come up to the house will enter the form through the slots and travel around and out through a drainage pipe. The black line you see is a pipe connecting the two forms to eliminate any hydrostatic pressure. It's a very neat product!
