Waterproofing contractors HATE when you know THIS

What happens here

Before beginning earthwork, remove any existing concrete sidewalks, stepping stones, or decorative elements that are situated too close to the foundation or contribute to negative grading. Clear out overgrown bushes, old mulch, or other debris from the areas where grading will occur. Use shovels and wheelbarrows to move large pieces of concrete or soil away from the work zone. Ensure the area is clear and the foundation is exposed where necessary.

Goal: Clear obstacles and expose the foundation for effective grading.
