My concrete block foundation is prone to weeping and sometimes leaking when the ground gets super saturated....couple times a year. The slope around a portion of my foundation is very flat and in some cases slightly negative, especially at an inside corner where the house and garage meet.
I want to increase the grade (+8 inches or so) to create a positive slope away from the house....but.....my garage was built on a slab and the siding (vinyl with clapboard underneath) goes all the way down to grade.
I don't even know where to begin with this. If I remove the first couple rows of vinyl is there any way to cover up the wood clapboard so that I can build up the soil against it?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
