Start with conditions, not a product
On Rock Hill's rolling terrain, poor grading routes water straight toward a foundation already dealing with expansive clay, so structural and drainage decisions here are hard to separate.
Build a complete scope
- What was measured, and whether it spanned a full wet and dry cycle
- Whether the house sits on shallow mill-era piers, block, or newer fill
- How water reaching the wall from uphill is being dealt with
- The chosen repair and what was ruled out before settling on it
- Access, finish restoration afterward, and exactly what is warranted
Rock Hill structural and drainage context
Because clay reacts so directly to moisture, drainage choices near Rock Hill have an outsized effect on how much a foundation moves from one season to the next.
