Hi,

For grading around a building according to BOCA 1996 according to my
reading the slope needs to be 1 inch per foot for a minimum of 8 feet.
This sounds pretty aggressive. I was wondering whether more recent
codes have modified this requirement for a house with a basement. I am
researching this question a house in NJ.

If it were up to me and if it were a new build it should be, I would
want that for at least 10 feet and 12 would be better for a home with a
basement.



Regards..
