Water that pools near a foundation, patio or wall causes damage. Here is how masonry can help manage it.
Tennessee gets heavy rain, and clay soils drain slowly. Water collects near foundations, behind walls and under patios, and then it freezes, heaves and cracks the masonry. Many masonry failures are really water failures.
We design patios, walks and walls with water in mind: sloped surfaces, channel drains, gravel behind walls, permeable pavers where they fit and downspout extensions that carry roof water away. Good masonry begins with good drainage.
