The rainy season has come to Kansas City a little later than usual this year. But, it has indeed arrived. Remember, whether you're buying or selling a home, or just maintaining the one you live in, it's time to clean out the rain gutters on the house.
It's easy to remember to do this in the Fall because all of the falling leaves clog things up. But, it's just as important to do in the Spring now that the maple tree "helicopter seeds", the sugar gum tree balls, and the blossoms from flowering trees are down.
Clogged gutters and downspouts lead to overflows and back ups that can put water in your basement. The clogs keep rainwater from flowing away from your house's foundation. Instead, it seeks out the cracks in your basement walls.
So, now's the time to improve the drainage around your house's foundation by sloping the ground away from the house. And, keep the gutters and downspouts free from debris.
