Controlling the flow of water around your house is critical.
Why it matters: “If it can’t dry, it’s gonna die.”
- Says builiding science expert David Nicastro.
🙋♂️ But what about making sure my foundation doesn’t crack during dry seasons?
- Rain water from your roof is not the solution —> that requires good irrigation design.
🥊 The bottom line: A well designed gutter and drainage system moves water where it needs to go.
- Away from your house!
✅ 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 —> anything resisting the flow away from your house needs to be addressed.
Best,
