Clean And Repair Gutters

Making sure your gutters are clear of debris is one really easy way to extend the life of your home’s foundation. If you have gutters, you’ll want to make sure they aren’t leaking and are in good working order. Leaky gutters cause a lot of damage to your home’s foundation. Make sure to have your gutters cleaned regularly to prevent major damage to your basement foundation.

Inspect Downspout Extensions
Your downspout should direct rain and rain runoff away from your house. But it’s important to direct the water 5 to 10 feet away from your house.

Inspect Tree and Shrub Roots

All trees and shrub roots will affect the way water is absorbed in the ground. If planted too close to the foundation the roots will press against the foundation causing stress cracks where moisture will find it's way into your basement. Certain trees and shrubs will grow towards the drain system and clog them.
