Negative Grading / Slope
Ground slopes toward the foundation rather than away from it.
The Implication
Directs rainwater against the foundation wall, increasing the risk of basement leaks, settlement, and structural movement.
Repair Strategy
Improve grading to slope away from the foundation (minimum 6 inches drop in first 10 feet).
