Keep water moving away from the home

Maintain gutters and downspouts, watch for low spots and correct obvious drainage paths that concentrate water next to the foundation.

Document changes

Date photographs of cracks or areas of concern so you can tell whether they are stable or changing.

Check crawl spaces

Where accessible and safe, pay attention to standing water, persistent dampness and visible deterioration. Do not enter areas that are unsafe or structurally compromised.

Know when maintenance is not enough

Worsening cracks, bowing walls, visible settlement and significant floor changes call for evaluation rather than routine maintenance alone.
