Gutters
Siding
First, make certain the grade is pitched away from the home to drain away surface water effectively. The grade should not be any closer to the siding than 6 in. because of rot and termite issues. Next, extend the outlets of the downspouts away from the home, and keep gutters totally free of debris to help keep water away from the foundation. Where leaves and twigs from nearby trees may collect in a gutter, install a wire strainer over the downspout. Also consider covering the outlet or place screening across the length of the gutter.
