When It Rains, It Pours.

It won't be long before we start our annual North Texas spring rains. For now, take advantage of our winter rains to identify potential problems and correct them before the heavier rains start.

After a good rain, look for water pooling near your foundation. If there are puddles, then you need to find a way to direct the water away from the house. You can install a French drain, cut a swale, or change the grade around your foundation.

Also, look for leaks in your home. Some leaks may be caused by foundation problems. So, once you've identified a leak, you need to find the reason for the leak. If the reason is straightforward, such as problems with your roof, then you can the problem and be done with it. If you cannot figure out why the leak exists or where it's coming from, then it may be time to get a professional to look at the problem.
