A Spring Home Maintenance Series - Day 4

Day 4: Moisture & Foundation – Protect the Structure of Your Home

Our Spring Home Maintenance Series continues by discussing the importance of protecting the structure of your home by keeping moisture away from the foundation.

Moisture is one of the biggest threats to a home's structure. As snow melts and spring rains arrive, it’s important to make sure water is draining properly away from your foundation.

Poor drainage can lead to foundation cracks, basement leaks, crawlspace moisture, and even structural movement over time.

Things to Look For

 • Soil sloping toward the house instead of away

• Standing water near the foundation

• Foundation cracks or separation

• Damp or musty crawlspaces

• Mold or moisture stains
