>> Hi All,

>> I can't find a good answer to this, so thought that I would post. 
>> 
>> My garage was moved to its current site. It has an 8" poured concrete floor, on top of which was placed 6x6 PT, onto which the garage structure is bolted. The edge of the concrete slab is exposed, as well as           the PT -- all above grade.
>> 
>> The property has a high water table. My septic, regardless of type, will require a raised bed that will cover this exposed area on 1 and possibly 2 walls. I need to ensure that I protect this wall from water.  I will do all 4 walls with the same process as used for these two.
>> 
>> Any ideas as to what is best? The above grade will have EPS 2" plus wood siding. Do I extend the EPS to this wall and waterproof on top? If so, how do I avoid seepage into the area between the EPS and the wall?
>> 
>> I've looked at Bituthene, but have no idea if it is the best approach.
>> 
>> Many thanks for your thoughts.
