Since we&rsquo;re doing a superior wall foundation we only had to check depth, which in my area is 48 inches. And because such a large portion of our basement will be below grade, we only had a few trenches that needed to be deeper then the surrounding soil.</p> <figure class="post-it-figure"> <img src="https://our.quaint.house/posts/footer-inspection/outline-1.jpg" alt="Outlined entryway area in the dug foundation" loading="lazy" title="Outline of the future entryway"> <figcaption>Outline of the future entryway</figcaption> </figure> <h3 id="rain">Rain</h3> <p>As luck would have it, there was nasty storms for our area the two days leading up to the inspection. Thankfully they were isolated and more wind than rain. That didn&rsquo;t prevent puddles from bein in the holes. However it was clear enough that they were more than deep and plenty ready.</p>
