The soil in Houston is what's called gumbo and actually pulls the moisture out of your foundation which causes cracking and major foundation damage. We water our foundation in extended dry periods to prevent foundation damage. I thought maybe in FL gutters on the front and back would be enough, but what do you recommend?
We had just gutters on the front but none on any other side. When it rained hard water would come under the wall on the Lani this was before Debbie and with the gutters up no water came under wall on the Lani. The price was even better and they did a great job and I would use them again anytime.
