Early Signs Of Water Drainage Problems

Water is the biggest need of human beings, but in some situations, it can turn into the worst enemy for homeowners. Improper drainage systems have the ability to cause huge trouble inside as well as outside the home; especially when the guttering mechanism is not able to handle the flow of water. Ignoring such problems can lead to huge expenses at a later stage; hence, it is important to observe the early signs of water damage so that an appropriate solution can be applied on time.

Peeling paint:

It is time to observe the entire home and mark the areas where you see peeling off wood or sidings. Probably, it is due to gutters as the excessive flow of water may run down through sidings of your home. This problem is generally caused by improperly installed gutters.

Wall cracks:

Your old house can have a few small cracks due to aging, but the larger ones are the signal of trouble. It is good to observe the foundation area frequently and check if cracks are growing with time. It can be due to excessive flow of water that can be observed by wall due to improper drainage. Experts say wall cracks can happen due to broken, clogged or inadequate drainage system.

Mulch issue:

In case if the soil or mulch is washed away to the lawn, street or drive drains; it may happen due to drainage issues. In most cases, it happens when downspouts are not positioned accurately, and they further start causing trouble to driveway, patio, walkway, and concrete structure.

Attic mold:

When gutters get loaded with standing water, it causes stress on the fascia boards that are otherwise responsible for holding gutters at the right place. If ignored so long, they can even begin to break. The rot can also spread to the surrounding area of the roof, and with time it can start causing moisture-related issues. It has a direct impact on attic insulation, and you may observe the development of mold in this area.

Waterlogged around foundation:

Right after the rainstorm, observe the area around your home. Do you find waterlogged around the foundation? This puddling water can cause huge damage to your property, and it is important to take immediate steps to deal with the gutter system.
