Monsoon, Irrigation & Block Wall Damage

Monsoon runoff and erosion

Heavy rain can move soil or expose weaknesses around the wall base. After the storm, photograph erosion, washout and any new wall movement.

Irrigation exposure

Repeated water near the base can be relevant to staining, soil conditions and deterioration. Photograph sprinklers, drip lines or persistent wet areas only when they clearly relate to the damaged section.

Repair the wall and understand the source

A masonry repair may still fail later if the external condition that contributed to the damage remains. Wall repair and site-condition correction should be treated as connected decisions when appropriate.
