Gutter Down Spout
Concentrated sources of water may lead to non-uniform foundation movements. Extend discharge a
minimum of 3 feet from the foundation and use splash blocks to avoid erosion or use flexible
discharge tubes.
Sprinkler Valves
Valves frequently leak and joints may leak with time, resulting in localized water sources that may
cause non-uniform foundation movements. Locate at least 5 feet from foundation and inspect valves
frequently.
A/C Unit Condensation
An air conditioning unit causing a concentrated source of water that can result in non-uniform
foundation movements. Direct the discharge line to drip on a concrete pad or splash block that has
been properly sloped away from the foundation.
Plumbing Line Leaks

and verify repairs with pressure tests.
