In this post, your leading gutter installation expert, Gutter Helmet® of Eastern NY, discusses common problems caused by poor drainage.

Stains and Mold Growth

Water can settle in the low spots of your yard after it rains. Mold growth on your home’s foundation or and discoloration in your siding are common signs of water buildup. If your basement smells musty, this is another sign that you may have a moisture problem.

Damaged gutters cause water to overflow around the sides of your home or fall directly into the foundation. Make sure that your gutters are kept clean and be sure to promptly address all areas that need repair. For gutters replacement services, choose Gutter Helmet of Eastern NY.

Health Issues

When water enters through the foundation cracks, it can damage floorboards and cause mildew and mold growth. Mold exposure can lead to respiratory problems and severe allergic reactions for those who have allergies. This can also attract pests into your basement.

Landscape Problems
