At this time of year, during the Winter thaw
and the Spring rains to come, it is very important to check a few items around
your home.
Make sure gutters and downspouts are
attached properly to the home. Tighten any
loose gutters and reconnect any unattached downspouts to help keep water away
from the house. It is imperative that gutters
and downspouts are clear and free-flowing.
If there is standing water against
the home's foundation, eventually it could find its way into your home. Have a drainage professional re-grade around your home’s
foundation. Creating a
positive and lasting pitch away from the home is important. It is a gradual pitch that an exterior
drainage specialist can measure for you.
It is never recommended to landscape around the home’s foundation
without a proper pitch and grade.
