- Inspect your gutters’ capacity, after fifteen minutes of heavy rain, if water overflows the gutters, install additional downspouts, be sure to have them cleaned of derbies.
- Extend downspouts at least ten feet away from the house, by installing Surface or subsurface Drain pipe that caries it away from the house Foundations.
- Adjust landscaping and irrigation so that water flows away from the foundation, And slope the soil so water runs away from the footings not towards them.
