What happens here

Sammy highlights a specific challenge: the air conditioning unit's pad is too low, creating a potential water pooling issue. He explains the plan to slightly raise the surrounding grade and create a small swale around the unit to ensure water drains away efficiently. This involves careful re-grading and potentially some excavation around the unit's base.

Goal: Adjust the grade around the AC unit to prevent water pooling.

Tools and materials

  • Air Conditioning Unit Lennox — The area requiring drainage modification
  • Shovel — Adjusting the grade

this drain tile. One of the things that was jamming us up yesterday was this pad for the AC here. Realistically, in a perfect world, this pad would be like 10 inches up because right now, um, we are as far as tweaking the grade. So, this was all low along the house, pitching towards the house. Um, so we need to bring it up, but we're stuck with the height of the pad over here, which is I mean, you guys can probably see from over here is quite a bit lower than the grade out there. Um, you're probably not getting too much water. What with the overhanging stuff, but there's still going to be some getting in here. Um, that took a little bit of time to figure out, but we kind of got a um we brought it up as much as we could and we kind of got a swale uh cutting out kind of that way. That should uh alleviate this air conditioner being like a foot lower than it should be. Oh, yeah. And then uh we got a couple of little wing walls going in over here. Uh just so again, grade was pitching towards the house and stuff just so we could get it up and have everything pitching real good down around here. You see that? That's a guy
