After rain this past weekend, it would be a great idea to check the exterior of your house for good water drainage. While checking your home’s ability to keep the water out, ask yourself the following questions:
- Are pools of water collecting around the foundation?
- Is the roof draining properly?
- Are there puddles of water in your garage?
- Are there leaks inside your home that allow water to get in?
- Is there any visibile wood rot?
- Are there any cracks in the foundation of your home?
- Is there a mildew smell?
While it doesn’t rain here in the valley as much, the little rain that we do get each year can reak havoc on the exterior of your home. Proper maintenance and drainage of your home is essential in preventing the need for major repairs down the line. Simple things such as installing gutters and putting stones around the foundation of your home instead of grass or plants can really help with your house’s ability to effectively shed the water.
