Spring & Summer Drainage Checklist

News
Gutter Downspout

Spring storms and summer downpours can overwhelm even well-built drainage systems. This is the season to check your gutters for clogs, ensure downspouts push water at least 5–10 feet away, and confirm the soil slopes away from your home on all sides.

A 20-minute walk around your property twice a year often prevents the most common foundation issues we see. It’s not glamorous work, but clearing leaves, testing drains, and looking for pooling water can save you thousands in future repairs.
