Foundation Repair Tips To Get Your Home Ready For Spring Jericho, NY

Have you prepared your foundation for the Spring? The rain can wreak havoc on your foundation. If you put off foundation repair until after the Spring, there’s a good chance that you will be dealing with even repair that is not only more intensive but also more expensive. If you want to ensure your foundation holds up throughout the Spring, consider applying the tips below.

  1. Repair cracks

One of the first things you should do when preparing your home for the Spring is to inspect your foundation. If you spot cracks, don’t put off foundation repair. Contact a professional contractor to have the cracks inspected and repaired.

Don’t ignore small cracks. These cracks may become worse when the rains come. It is best to have all cracks repaired and prevent further damage to your foundation.

  1. Clear and repair your gutters and downspouts

Gutters and downspouts offer much-needed protection for your foundation from the rain. They are designed to guide runoff water away from the foundation. This prevents water from accumulating near the foundation and causing damage.

Foundation repair isn’t isolated from the actual foundation. It involves all aspects that affect the foundation. If your gutters or downspouts are damaged or clogged, it is important to invest in having them cleaned and repaired as you ready your home for the Spring.

  1. Clear your landscape

Leaves and other debris collecting on the ground near the foundation of your home will cause water to accumulate near the foundation. When the water seeps into the ground, it will cause damage to your foundation. You can avoid the need for expensive repairs by simply keeping your landscape clear, especially around your foundation. Avoid mulching the ground near your foundation too.

  1. Deal with landscape draining problems

Another area to consider when preparing your foundation for the Spring is drainage. It is important to prevent water from pooling around your foundation. Has your landscape been inspected to determine if a change in grade will help to protect your foundation? You may also want to consider installing drainage to guide water away from your foundation.

Foundation repair may seem involved. However, if you don’t take the steps to prepare your foundation for the Spring you’ll be dealing with even more serious damage that will be more involved and costly to repair.
