On the Third Day of Christmas…Check It Twice! Check your foundation for any cracks that might be a potential source of leaks. In circling the exterior of your home, youll want to ensure that the land slopes away from your foundation. This will ensure that water will drain away from your foundation instead of pooling and increasing the chances of water entering your basement. You should also drain outside water hoses and stow them away safely for the winter. Remember to keep your sidewalk and the front stairs of your house clear of snow and ice to prevent falls and injuries. You wouldn’t want Santa or his elves to get hurt! Youll also want to clear side doors, back doors and other exit points around the home that you may need to use in case of emergency.
