As Syracuse’s trusted source of Leaflock® gutter guard and seamless gutter installation services, we see this problem all the time. Whether it’s poor workmanship from another gutter company or an oversight during a DIY job — or simple neglect of routine maintenance — improper functioning of your gutters can sometimes be worse than not having them at all.
If your gutters are not leading and directing water away from your home and its foundation, water can begin to pool, causing many of the problems listed above.
Unfortunately, if your neighbor lives uphill from your property, excess water from their home can end up can end up in yours as well. While most of the time this isn’t their fault, it’s still a reality you have to deal with.
Watch to see how the water moves from their yard into yours. This will help you to spot problem areas that are especially in need of a way to redirect water into other areas of your property.
Grading has to do with the way soil slopes around your home. Proper grading allows water to flow away from your home. Experts recommend that the soil should drop two to three inches for every 10 feet away from your property.
However, landscapers don’t always get this right — even if you’ve recently hired a so-called professional. Poor grading can trap water around your home. Even worse, it could lead the water directly to your home and into your basement. In this case, it’s necessary to either re-do your entire lawn or find a way to create a new drainage plan.
