Walkthrough of Our MiraDrain Installation on a Concrete Wall

WHAT YOU’LL SEE IN THIS VIDEO • A closer look at Mira Drain installed directly against a concrete retaining wall. • How the drainage board sits tight to the wall surface before backfill. • Detail view of placement, alignment, and how sections come together. • Real jobsite conditions showing the wall and drainage layer working as one system. • Crew working through positioning to make sure the drainage layer stays consistent along the wall. • A focused look at one of the key details that helps manage water behind the wall. COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROJECT WHAT DOES MIRA DRAIN LOOK LIKE WHEN INSTALLED? It sits directly against the wall as a vertical drainage layer, creating a path for water to move downward behind the structure. WHY IS PROPER PLACEMENT IMPORTANT? If the drainage board isn’t positioned correctly or consistently, it won’t move water the way it’s designed to. DOES THIS COVER THE ENTIRE WALL? Typically, it’s installed along the wall surface where water buildup is expected, depending on the design. HOW DOES THIS CONNECT TO THE REST OF THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM? Water moves down the drainage board and into a system that usually includes gravel and perforated pipe at the base. DIY QUESTION CAN YOU JUST ATTACH THIS ANYWHERE ON THE WALL? No—placement matters. It needs to be installed correctly and tied into the overall drainage plan to work properly. DESCRIPTION This video focuses on the detail side of Mira Drain installation behind a concrete retaining wall, showing how it actually sits against the wall in real conditions. You’ll get a closer look at how the drainage board is aligned and positioned so it can function as part of the wall system once everything is backfilled. This stage is all about consistency—making sure the drainage layer stays tight to the wall and is installed correctly before it gets covered up. It’s one of those details that doesn’t get seen after the job is complete, but it plays a big role in how the wall handles water over time. If you’re trying to understand how retaining wall drainage actually comes together in the field, this gives you a closer look at that part of the process.
