🐶 Did you know? *A well-maintained foundation can last over 100 years!* Let's ensure your home's longevity with these 3 preventive steps:
1. **Ensure Proper Drainage**: Keep gutters clean and downspouts extended at least 5 ft from the foundation to prevent water pooling.
2. **Regularly Inspect for Cracks**: Do a quick monthly walk-around and check walls and floors for new or widening cracks.
3. **Maintain Consistent Moisture Levels**: Water the soil around your home during dry spells to prevent shrinkage that leads to settling.
💡 Pro Tip from Ina: Seasonal changes can be tricky! Always adjust accordingly—more water during heat waves, less when it's wet outside.
