Certified Home Inspections· With all this rain over the last week it shows how well drainage around the homes are performing. During building and Pest inspections and termite inspections it is usually dry and we look for evidence of poor drainage, so when the rain comes we can see it in action. It is Extremely important to to have good drainage as poor drainage can cause foundation issues, causing the house to move and make the building unsafe in some circumstanes. It is also important when it comes to termites as they are attracted to high moisture areas so it is important to keep things well drained. Moisture also causes a lot of timber decay in homes and structures which can be costly to repair. So make sure all your drains, gutters and downpipes are not blocked , make sure water tank over flows are connected to the drainage system and not discharging directly on the ground.
