This final photo depicts a house which exhibits good water management from the outside. Siding is of a type that repels water. Roof slope is steep enough that the water quickly runs off. Composition shingles are well sealed and there are no valleys. Windows are set under an adequate overhang. The porch is two inches lower than the floor and the sidewalk is five inches lower than the porch. The lot then slopes quickly to the street. These points address numerous water invasion points and all are inexpensive and esthetically pleasing.
