Water is everywhere in Louisiana. So much so, in fact, that you may have heard a joke or two about Louisianians having gills! But like any other state, we need to make sure our homes are well-maintained so they stay in great shape for years to come. Keeping water from your home ensures your house and its foundation last much longer. Get quality maintenance tips from our growing real estate community in Broussard.
Your foundation is one of the most important things in your home. It keeps everything in one place and—most importantly—keeps you from sinking into the ground. Such an important bedrock needs to be taken care of diligently so it lasts as long as possible.
In Louisiana, the soil is nearly constantly bombarded by water. The thing is, soil and water don’t mix super well. We want to avoid puddles at all costs and instead keep things constantly flowing. When water sits on your soil, it seeps faster than the rest of your yard and can make things shift. This is especially bad if the standing water is right against your new home. This uneven shifting ground can lead to cracks and water damage in your brand-new foundation! You need to maintain your property to ensure your foundation lasts as long as possible.
