How to keep water away
Can someone explain this to me like I'm 5? For some reason I can't wrap my head around getting water away from my house on a basically flat grade. I bought my house 3 years ago and I'm finally getting around to the exterior. My house is slab on grade. Found this section of stucco that is obviously water damaged. The dirt around the house (formerly landscape bed) was covering it. The thing is the beds were already at grade level. After repairing the stucco, should I just dig down and fill with 57 stone or something to get the water in this corner to drain away from the stucco? There used to be a downspout here, so I'm thinking maybe it leaked? submitted by /u/Pretty_Glonky215 [link] [comments]
