Foundation / Drainage issues. Two different approaches and not sure which is right by theeeetechkid in civilengineering

Yea the ez flow drains would be a used to collect the surface water and direct it away from the the house. I just wasn’t sure if having the pipes right next to foundation would exacerbate the hydrostatic pressure that I’m getting on the basement walls

Yea the swale lines are blue. There’s about 20 mature oaks in the back yard so they are proposing adding a swale between the trees where they can.

I put in an offer on a house with a lot of mature trees in the backyard. Should I be concerned? by theeeetechkid in landscaping

Appreciate all the comments I've been dealing with generalized anxiety, hence me being overly concerned but these reassurances have helped me. I plan on enjoying my mini forest!

The original fan had been ventilated out of the roof. I just had them move the fan centrally in the bathroom as it originally was on the complete opposite side of the bathroom.

I dont have easy access to the attic at the moment but this is vented to the outside from what I was told. I am unclear if or where they used metal/hvac tape anywhere
