Keep the Heat Out of Your House
Sprinklers & Gutters
If the gutters are improperly draining, meaning they are draining into the foundation and siding instead of the yard, moisture will build up in your basement, crawl space, and siding. This leads not only to mold and allergy problems but the excess humidity will raise your energy bills. Sprinklers placed too close to siding can also cause a buildup of extra moisture.
Make sure your gutters are clear, stable, and patched and your sprinklers are set far enough away from your home.
