[quote modelamac]The cause of the problem has to be addressed.
I agree. In the case of the A/C unit it's easier to see, as it's on the side of the house and one can imagine how water runs down that side. There are shrubbery and such also on that side, which doesn't exactly deter rainwater (dirt ground, not grass along that side of the house.
The small concrete pad with the deck only has about 2 inches of the handrailing that was resting on it (they set it on the concrete before it dried, so now that it's pulled away you can see the exact indention.) But the thing about this one is that it's set right up against the back of the house, so water erosion has to be coming from down the house wall because the pad butts right up against it.
