How to Prevent Water Damage During a Drought

9/10/2021 (Permalink)

Normally, drought and water damage aren't synonymous words, but it is important to know how water damage can occur after bouts of dryness. Dry soil problems that could potentially damage your home's foundation can be slowed by using a soaker hose to provide a consistent, but not flooding, water source to the soil immediately surrounding the home’s foundation. Don't turn on your hose and leave it or forget it. You want to monitor the consistency of soil around your foundation. Being an active homeowner and taking a walk around your foundation is essential. Always make sure the gutter systems are connected and that water is directed away from your foundations.
