What do you know about drainage?
Sharing another homeowner tip here – this comes from personal experience as well as from the many houses that we see when helping people buy and sell. What is it? Poor drainage. Yes – sounds so simple and possibly boring. However, it is typically a super easy solution that can save you thousands of dollars in the future.
It is SO important to keep water away from your foundation. It can lead to cracks, bulges, leaks, and very expensive damage.
Walk around the outside of your house and make sure you have the proper grading – which means that the dirt and landscape next to the home is slanted such that the water will flow away from your house and not toward it.
Next, check your downspouts. Make sure they are long enough so that when water comes out it will flow away from the home and not puddle or flow toward the house. Then – make sure they aren’t plugged with leaves or dirt.
Getting smart about the drainage around your home can be so helpful to the future of your home.
