Hello everyone,

Our construction project started 4 weeks ago. I now want to install the perimeter insulation on the exterior basement walls.

But before I begin, I need feedback on whether the waterproofing has been correctly applied by the construction company. Attached are some pictures of the setup along with a description.

Clean layer (I think gravel)
10 cm (4 inches) perimeter insulation
Membrane
20 cm (8 inches) concrete slab
Formed concrete basement walls

Is the waterproofing as shown in the sketch correct?

Thanks for your help!

I forgot to mention.

The soil survey states: waterproofing according to DIN 18195 part 4 (ground moisture).

A drainage system will also be installed.

Hmm, no opinions on the waterproofing situation?

Thank you for your feedback. That should be fine then.
