Contractor messed up
Contractor made this wall added a concrete footing stacked CMU blocks. They added weep holes. All they added was gravel behind each weep hole only a little bit. No perforated pipes nothing. They backfilled with straight top soil and didn’t protect the wall with waterproofing so soil against wall. The backfill I literally sink into it. The contractor says this is normal that water isn’t going to gush through the holes. They also said it’s normal that the water is just pooling like this. They also said the reason why it’s so muddy and you sink your whole leg into it is because grass and plants haven’t been added so it hasn’t stabilized what are your thoughts submitted by /u/Ill-Illustrator-4026 [link] [comments]
