We get a lot of questions through the mail and on our website about problems that often are caused by drainage issues around the outside of your home. So many times, you can do a little inexpensive advance work and prevent a lot of costly damage to your home. Here are some things to look for and take care of that you might not have thought of as contributing to problems around your home.

Guttering is a really good way to redirect drainage from your roof to another location away from your foundation. Clean them out at least twice a year and make repairs as needed. You can prevent a lot of clogs by installing covers and screens over them. There are screen and other guards you can put over the downspouts to prevent them from clogging, too. Also make sure splash blocks are placed at the end of the downspouts and sloped away from your foundation.

Make sure soil around your home’s foundation is sloped gently away from the house. Any water that does fall in this area needs to drain away from your foundation. Over time, shallow spots can occur, so break out the rake or hoe and take care of it.

If your house is built on a sloped lot and water drains toward your home, consider installing French drains to intercept draining water and carry it to a better location, away from your house. In some cases, just creating a swale and/or berm can resolve the issue.

These simple tips can go a long way toward protecting your home from water damage.
