Your average homeowner learns to hate water, often within the first year of home ownership. When you aren’t fighting to keep the water within your pipes in the home's interior, you find yourself battling to keep other water away from where it doesn't belong on the home's exterior. That’s why a house or other building has gutters and downspouts: they direct the rainwater that lands on the roof away from the foundation, the farther the better. If too much water gets too close to the foundation in homes with a basement, it often causes moisture problems. If the building's on a slab, an uneven distribution of moisture around the perimeter may cause cracking, even damage all the way to the partial collapse of exterior walls. The flatter the land around your house, the farther away you want that water sent.
