How it works
Water around a foundation deserves attention. The U.S. Department of Energy explains that roof runoff can saturate nearby soil and contribute to moisture problems.
Drainage is part of understanding the setting. It is not a diagnosis of every crack.
A record over time
A single mark on a wall tells you where to look. Dated photos and a qualified assessment help show what changed and what needs more investigation.
Your decision
Understand the cause before choosing a repair. Some questions need a qualified structural professional, not a general sales estimate.
