Hairline cracks can develop in concrete slabs over time. Use epoxy glue to make these repairs.
Installing rock beds away from your foundation can help maintain consistent moisture levels. These will allow sprinkler and rainwater to absorb into the soil around your home.
Make sure your property is properly graded. The slope should be within 10-feet of your foundation at 3 to 5 percent.
Plumbing inspections should be performed yearly.
Repair any leaks as soon as you find them.
Drainage should occur at lower elevations or in gravel filled basins. Be aware if you have water collecting in these areas.
Repair foundation that is uneven – this will help prevent any further deterioration. Along the inside of the walls, place wood or steel braces, 6 feet apart.
