detached garages

( DRAINAGE AND GRADING )
Our home inspector will evaluate the slope of the grounds to
determine if the slope of the ground is draining water away
from the house or directing water towards the house. The
inspector will also examine the rain gutter down spouts to
see if they are discharging water alongside the house.
Improperly directed water will sooner or later find its way
into the house particularly the basement area.
