This site is a cool place, thought I would give back some of what I've learned.

This 2nd area of water problems because is easier than the last area - when you have water coming in your house.

Outside water and weather is a part of living on your own home. Addressing any problems as soon as you notice them will help you to continue living in your house with minimal trouble and protect tha value of your investment.

It seems pretty common sense, but if you make it a priority to route all outside water away form your house as soon as it falls, you'll be way ahead of the game. You would be surprised how many people do not make this a priority and pay more to fix greater damage down the road. I've made a few mistakes myself, and thought sharing them might help others to see the warnign signs.
