Without gutters, water from the roof collects near the house instead of being directed away from it. This can lead to cracks and other damage to your home&#8217;s foundation over time. If you already have gutters, the fall or any time of the year when it is dry, but not too hot, is a good time to get them cleaned if you have not done so already.<\/p><p>Clogged rain gutters will not work as efficiently, as water can get backed up. Getting them professionally cleaned will work in your favor. Lastly, you can opt to have your rain gutters extended with downspouts to further help channel rainwater away from your home and its foundation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85dac6d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"85dac6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/emergency-managers\/risk-management\/earthquake\/seismic-building-codes\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.internetmarketingexperience.net\/tfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/fall_maintenance_tips_to_protect_your_homes_foundation_french_drain.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8104\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.internetmarketingexperience.net\/tfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/fall_maintenance_tips_to_protect_your_homes_foundation_french_drain.jpg 686w, https:\/\/www.internetmarketingexperience.net\/tfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/fall_maintenance_tips_to_protect_your_homes_foundation_french_drain-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f62576 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1f62576\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

During late fall and winter when Southern California tends to get a little more rain, the soil around your home can experience over-saturation and expansion. This, along with other factors such as watering your garden, shrubs, or plants that are too close to your foundation, can be troublesome for your foundation.<\/p><p align=\"left\">The ideal time to take care of any perimeter drainage issues that could add to over-saturation of the soil under or adjacent to your home is while it&#8217;s dry outside before rain kicks in. You can hire a drainage specialist to install a French or alternate drainage system to help get water away from your home and its foundation. Be aware, however, that installing drainage <em>after a foundation system has been cracked or compromised<\/em> will not fix your foundation or any structural issues resulting from water damage, but proper drainage can direct water away from your home&#8217;s foundation moving forward.<\/p><p align=\"left\">Not sure who to contact for drainage? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.internetmarketingexperience.net\/tfw\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reach out to us<\/a> and we\u2019ll refer you to one of our vetted drainage specialists who has helped serve our clients over the years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-226a6c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"226a6c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.
