Mud Season = Check Your Home’s Drainage & Foundation!
Why? April in Maine = melting snow + spring rain = potential basement leaks, flooding, & foundation shifts.
✅ Inspect gutters & downspouts—make sure they direct water away from your home.
✅ Look for foundation cracks that may have worsened over the winter.
✅ Check for pooling water around the house—grading issues can lead to water damage.
🚨 Buying a home in April? Always check the yard & basement after a rainy day! It reveals hidden drainage problems.
📌 Pro Tip: If selling, be proactive! Address any minor leaks or water issues now before buyers spot them.
