This is an owner responsibility. b.) The owner should make sure that any spray irrigation heads are kept away from the foundation walls. c.) The owner should not allow downspouts to discharge into landscape areas adjacent to the structure. d.) The gutters need to be evaluated for size, slope, and downspout placement. The house is a Category Number 2 Intervention under the Brick Water Intrusion Protocol. 8 Proper drainage away from the structure is very important. If water is continually allowed to stand around the foundation the underlying soils can become saturated and weaken. This could allow unwanted differential settlement of the structure. The previous comments are prepared based on the assumption that proper maintenance will be followed to protect this structure. This includes as a minimum, keeping gutters and downspouts clean and keeping water away from the foundation. If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
