Home Owner Maintenance Tip
We enjoy trying to make sure that your home stays your most valuable asset. One of the best ways we know to help, is to pass along some simple maintenance tips that most people don’t know could save thousands of dollars. Many times we see homes that have poor drainage because the lot the house is built on is flat. After talking to the owners we find that originally there were swales or loping channel to help water drain away from the foundation. When the owners bought the house, they thought the yard would look better flat, or it would be easier to mow the grass, so they leveled it. If your yard has swales or sloping channels, we encourage you not to do away with them unless you are sure they are not part of a drainage system. Warning: If you do level the yard, you may void any builder’s warranty a new home has concerning drainage. Please feel free to forward this maintenance tip to your friends and/or family members so they too can maintain their real estate investment.
