masonary question

WHY would a mason or bricklayer end the brick on either
side of the door? Then backfill against the rim joist with
DIRT? Maybe I'm missing something obvious? Yes, that's the
basement you see through the hole.....

wasn't the concrete poured all the way to the door? If so, why wasn't it caulked? Or, was it poured against the siding? See this stuff all the time.
 
Bad waterproofing detail, they buried it for some reason. Masonry details for waterproofing are very important.

Whatever that brick is bearing on, foundation wall, lintel, etc. needs to be flashed, to the wall behind it in the cavity.

Look at details on the site I posted a link to, they are an industry standard in masonry accessories, waterproofing and so on, you need to design and build a detail that will waterproof that low threshold door, there must be a curb that it sits on above that slab, if not, really bad detail which will need to have remedial work to keep water out.

Vito, Nothing, just DIRT shoved against the rim joist. That's the kind of stuff I deal with everyday at work...LORD, give me strength.
 
I don't see an expansion joint up against the bricks. Frost can heave the concrete and pull-push on the bricks if your in the northern climates.
