Where it
started.

SCS Roofing and Concrete installed a concrete foundation for a planned enclosed patio in Hammond, Louisiana. The entire patio slab slopes toward a center drain. Proper drainage was imperative because the space was intended to be enclosed. The project began with lawn beside an existing covered patio.

Before the pour, the prepared area had perimeter forms, steel reinforcement and the center drain rough-in in place. SCS installed the concrete foundation and the connecting walkway beside the home.

A closer look at the work.

Plan for drainage before the pour

The center drain rough-in is visible inside the reinforcing grid. This was the collection point for the patio slab’s inward slope.

Why was the entire patio slab sloped toward a center drain?

This concrete was installed as the foundation for a planned enclosed patio, so drainage was part of the foundation work from the start. The entire patio slab was sloped toward the center drain to give surface water a planned collection point.

What does the preparation photo show?

The project photo shows perimeter forms, a steel reinforcing grid and the center-drain rough-in before the concrete pour. It documents the work area before the finished slab covered those details.
