If the patio attaches to the house ideally the drainage plane is 4" below the top surface of the impermeable layer of the door opening - probably most older construction doesn't follow this. You don't want to setup the scenario where the exterior patio is higher and encourages drainage under the door to the house. | |

| Jun 11, 2019 at 11:50 | comment | added | spizzak | That's an interesting idea I hadn't considered. I'm not sure I could fit pavers in 2-1/2" of vertical clearance though. I guess another option me be to pour another 2-1/2" on top of the existing slab as well | |
