Hello,
We’re pouring a new slab in a Chicago basement. We’ve excavated to the bottom of the footing (3ft below grade), installed drain tile, dimpled drainage board over the cove joint into the washed gravel burrito, 4” of slab base gravel, and laid down 2” continuous horizontal XPS. To maintain 7’ ceiling height, the new slab will be roughly half (2”) against the footing and half (2”) lapping over the footing to the exterior wall. This creates a challenging situation for slab edge insulation. The attached drawing is my proposed solution. Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks.
