Leaks. Block walls are designed to allow water to leak through them to relieve hydrostatic pressure. However, if the wall has been engineered with a designated drainage system, water should not leak through the wall in places other than through the designated system. Homeowner is responsible for make sure that drainage systems are not clogged to ensure they are keep in working order. Homeowner is also responsible for maintaining the grade at the top and sides of the wall, so water is diverted away from the wall and the grade does not rise higher than the damp proofing barrier. If water does leak through the wall other than through a designated system, Builder will take the appropriate action to fix the leak.
