Falling leaves may look beautiful, but they can create unexpected problems when they collect in the wrong places.
October is a good time to inspect the drainage areas around your property. Leaves, twigs, and debris can accumulate in gutters, downspouts, and exterior drains, restricting the flow of rainwater.
When water cannot drain properly, it may overflow or collect near areas that need protection.
Here's your October drainage checklist:
- Check gutters for accumulated leaves and debris.
- Make sure downspouts are clear and directing water away from your foundation.
- Look for pooling water around the exterior of your home.
- Inspect basement and crawl space areas for new signs of dampness.
- Address drainage problems before additional rainfall makes them worse.
Proper water management plays an important role in protecting your foundation, crawl space, and interior building materials.
