Can someone explain to me if that the right way?

So I just purchased a double wide 26x56. Tape and texture all the way around. It was recommended that we get concrete poured so the walls don’t crack within a year or sooner. So we went with concrete runners. The contractor went out with his crew and leveled out the dirt then pour the concrete for the runners. When I went to go look at the job that was done I was not satisfied. I don’t know much about concrete runners but nothing leveled. From top to bottom the runners were about 10” to 11” unleveled. So it formed a slope downwards. Contractor said it was the proper drainage requirements. I understand that it need a drainage away from the house but 10” to 11” off is to much for me and I worry about the home later in the future even now. Please help. Can someone explain to me if that the right way?

It sounds like the contractor made the grade too much. While drainage is necessary, the grade should not compromise the structural integrity of the home. I think you need to work with the contractor.

A slope of 10" to 11" seems unusually steep, and it might not be the right approach in this case. Typically, a foundation or footing should have a very slight slope, generally around 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot (roughly 1% slope). This slight slope is enough to direct water away from the structure without creating significant issues.

Since this is a significant concern for you, especially with the long-term durability of the home, I would recommend bringing in a professional home inspector or even a structural engineer to assess the concrete runners and the overall foundation. They can give you an expert opinion on whether the slope is too steep and what can be done to correct it if necessary.
