Most foundation problems start with one thing: water that has nowhere good to go. A few simple checks can help protect your foundation, reduce the risk of leaks, and prevent small cracks from becoming bigger repairs.
Quick homeowner checklist:
β Clean out gutters and make sure they are draining properly
β Extend downspouts so water is discharged well away from the foundation
β Check grading so the ground slopes away from your home, not toward it
β Watch for pooling water near the foundation after rain or snow melt
β Keep window wells clear and make sure covers are secure
If youβve noticed damp smells, water staining, or cracks that seem to be changing, itβs worth getting it looked at before the next big storm.
