A patio that heaves in March was usually missing base, pitch, or an edge. Here is how we build them to stay flat.
Damp corners, a musty basement, and white powder on block are not just humidity. They are water moving through the foundation.
A cracked crown lets water into the flue and masonry. Fix it before freeze-thaw opens the crack for good.

Leaning blocks, wet soil at the base, and cracked caps are early warnings. Here is what to watch for before a wall fails.
