Tips to care for your house
Drainage is a problem that most people will not consider until a problem arises and by then it often has become expensive to fix.
Here are some things a home owner should take a look at to prevent many of the problems that can occur with water and drainage at your home and property.

• Watch your house next time it rains.  Stand back a little distance, and notice the gutters.  Are they overflowing? Stopped up gutters contribute to many wet basement problems. If they are flowing, do they terminate close to the house? If they do, a little time to install a drainage system that will move the water away from your house is a valuable investment.
• Does your yard have areas of standing water?  Standing water will kill grass and invite trouble with mosquitoes and can be adding additional water to the house foundation.
  
• Often minor adjustments in grading  are all that is needed to make drastic improvements to your water problems.

Making sure that water either drains away naturally or is piped away is a preventive measure you don't want to live without.  Remember, whether you have a basement or a crawlspace, water will contribute to a variety of problems, including footers failing, mold, concrete floors buckling, and basement walls caving in. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you shouldn't be looking for it.
