After the foundation, in any case, it must be durable and reliable, but it during operation may undergo varying degrees of moisture, and it gradually begins to destroy the foundation. When the device of the foundation must provide measures which help to divert water from the foundation. Such activities should be carried out during the construction and operation of the foundation. If such measures are not carried out, the foundation can be destroyed quickly.
