SOQUEL — Host, Sarah Rutan: In caring for your property, it’s important to control groundwater to prevent damage to your home. Today, we’re in Soquel with Diamond Certified Expert Michal Gerard of Michal Gerard Construction to learn more.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Michal Gerard: The most important thing a homeowner can do to protect their investment is to control the groundwater around the perimeter of the house. This includes not planting plants right next to the foundation, not attaching planter boxes to the house and making sure the ground is sloped away from the house a minimum of five feet.
This prevents water from collecting next to the foundation and into the crawl space providing a source of water for termites and rotting the framing.
