Brush-on waterproofing with embedded mesh over the sheathing/foundation

geofabric attached, or something similar.


What do you mean by embedded mesh over the sheating/foundation joint?
When I think of mesh, i think of stucco. Are you sugessting that this area
should be stuccoed?


No. The mesh is asphalt-impregnated fiberglass. It helps keep the
waterproofing in place and unbroken where it transitions between
surfaces and across different materials.
