<p>Lynelle,</p>
<p>I think the product that Norbert is suggesting is actually called
Drain<b>board</b> and you may have some difficulty sourcing it.
When I tried to get some last summer, I was told that I needed to
order a whole truckload. Things may have changed since then, but
an alternative is Roxul Comfortboard, which has very similar
characteristics and is much more readily available in the retail
market. If you choose, you can also extend the Comfortboard up the
wall, in place of the EPS, since that's what it's primarily
designed for.<br>
</p>
<p>Depending on how important it is to you to keep the wall dry, you
may also want to apply waterproofing to the wall and footing,
behind the Comfortboard. I used a membrane from Resisto, but there
are other good options available. Note that you will need to
protect the exposed portion of the Comfortboard.</p>
<p>I should also note that, while the Drain/Comfortboard has many
desirable characteristics, it is much more expensive than EPS.<br>

Maybe replace the foam on the bermed portions with Roxul
Drainclad? It's a semi-rigid mineral wool insulating board
designed to direct water down to a drainage
tile..............N<br>
