By Posted on
MOISTURE CONTROL

MOISTURE CONTROL

Keep basements, crawl spaces, and garages dry and free of conditions that support mold and wood fungi growth by controlling roof drainage.
FOUNDATION PROTECTION

FOUNDATION PROTECTION

Limit the movement of active zone soils underneath the foundation by reducing the amount of water that enters at the foundation wall.
PROTECT BACK-FILL

Top soil around the foundation is the weakest link in foundation moisture control. Preventing topsoil erosion can help prevent future structural damage.
SHIELD WINDOWS AND DOORS

SHIELD WINDOWS AND DOORS

Most durability issues arise from bulk water intrusion through windows and doors. Roof drainage will direct water away from sensitive areas.
PROTECT PLANTS AND SHRUBS

Standing water in flower beds around the home can permit harmful plant fungi to develop as well as attract ants, roaches, and termites.
PROTECT FASCIA

Water migration may cause rotting and insects that can be costly to repair. Quickly moving water away from rafter and roof joints is essential to a home’s long term durability.
INCREASE ROOF OVERHANG

Rain gutters can add up to 6” of protective roof overhang, providing additional shielding of windows and doors, improving drying times and moisture levels.
