It advises homeowners to regularly inspect their basements for cracks or signs of moisture and ensure proper drainage around the home by cleaning gutters and installing drainage systems. Homeowners should also seal any visible cracks, use moisture-resistant materials in the basement, and consult a professional for waterproofing rather than attempting major projects without guidance, as improper installation can cause further issues.
