Homeowners Checklist: Identifying the Issue
1: Check all gutters & downspouts around the home.

Are they free & clear of debris and leaves?

2: Check slope/grade of the soil around the home.
-
Does the soil surrounding the home slope towards the home?
-
Do driveways, sidewalks, or patios slope towards the home?
-
Does water pool anywhere around the outside of the home?
3: Cracks/Gaps in the foundation walls.
