Home Owner Tip: Water Your Foundation

As the summer heat kicks in, it’s easy to forget about one of the most important aspects of home maintenance—your foundation. Did you know that watering around your home’s foundation during the dry months can help protect it from potential damage?

In the summer, soil around your foundation can dry out and shrink, which may lead to cracks and other foundation issues. By simply watering the ground around your home, you can maintain moisture levels in the soil and prevent it from shifting too much.

Here’s a quick tip: Water the area around your foundation consistently throughout the summer, especially during periods of high heat and little rain. This will help keep the soil stable and protect your home from costly repairs down the line.

Taking this small step can save you time, money, and stress when it comes to maintaining your home’s foundation. If you have any questions or need more home maintenance tips, I’m always here to help!
