start by looking at the overall slope of the land. if thats the drainage
point, where everything slopes to, you need to fix that first.

I have a rental house I am re-doing the bathroom on and I have stripped out
the sheetrock and I find the lower edge of the wall is damp. The wood is
sound; this is slab on grade construction, with a stucco finish.

I suspect that the moisture is wicking up from outside.

So what is the fix? Some sort of trench gravel thing or just pour a small
concrete curb around the house?

they come up with this striped stuff.
