Keeping water away from your home’s foundation is one of the simplest — and most overlooked — ways to prevent major damage. One of my top recommendations as a home inspector: install proper downspout extensions.
💧 Tips from Home Inspector Larry:
If your downspouts stop right at the base of your home, all that roof runoff is soaking the soil around your foundation. Over time, that can lead to basement leaks, foundation cracks, mold, and even structural issues. A simple extension that carries water 4–6 feet away can save homeowners thousands in repairs.
I see this issue on so many inspections, and it’s one of the easiest fixes you can make to protect your investment.
