With warming temps, melting snow, and spring on the way now is the time to keep an eye on your basement for water leaks. If you notice water seeping into the walls and floors of your basement after a heavy rain or rapid snow thaw the culprit could be poor drainage.

Gutter downspouts should extend at least 5 feet away from the home and terminate into a grassy area or location that will allow the water to flow away from foundation walls. Stay away from just allowing the downspout to end on a splash block. These are very ineffective and just allow water to run over edges and back into the house.
