So, how does it work? Simple. Just wait for a nice steady rain and observe how water flows around your home. See the guide at the right for step-by-step instructions. During a heavy rain, is actually the perfect time to observe your property’s drainage and gutter function–you can identify problem areas almost immediately.

What is the Worst-Case Scenario exactly?

Well, water, if not properly controlled, can lead to water penetration and result in damage to a home’s structure, interior surfaces, and your personal belongings as well.

But taking a few moments to Watch and Learn is a great way to see how your property “handles” water and identify issues now that could be much bigger headaches down the line if they are allowed to continue.
