Controlling the flow of water around your house is critical.
Why it matters: āIf it canāt dry, itās gonna die.ā
- Says builiding science expert David Nicastro.
šāāļø But what about making sure my foundation doesnāt crack during dry seasons?
- Rain water from your roof is not the solution ā> that requires good irrigation design.
š„ The bottom line: A well designed gutter and drainage system moves water where it needs to go.
- Away from your house!
ā For your Smart Homeowner list
- Walk around your house and make sure you know where the water goes during heavy rains.
- Water takes the path of least resistance ā> anything resisting the flow away from your house needs to be addressed.
Best,
