Check The Gutter

Gutters are an important part of your home’s drainage system. They help to channel rainwater away from your house and prevent flooding. However, gutters can become clogged with leaves, debris, and other materials, which can reduce their effectiveness and lead to water damage. It is important to check your gutters regularly and clean them as needed.

How to Check for Moisture Under Your House

  • Inspect the gutters: Look for any signs of clogs, such as leaves, debris, or other materials. If the gutters are clogged, they will not be able to drain water properly and could lead to water damage.
  • Check the downspouts: The downspouts are the pipes that carry water away from the gutters. Make sure that the downspouts are not clogged and that they are directing water away from your house.
  • Look for signs of water damage: If you see any signs of water damage, such as mold, mildew, or rot, it is important to investigate the source of the moisture. Water damage can be caused by a variety of factors, including clogged gutters, leaking pipes, and roof damage.

If you are not comfortable checking your gutters yourself, you can hire a professional gutter cleaning service.
