Clear the foundation weep screed and vents, Home A (near Rutland Ave), Casa Blanca, Riverside (2026-07-17)

Mulch and decades of yard buildup have buried the stucco weep screed and foundation vents on this block's older homes, trapping moisture in the wall assembly and inviting termites through the buried wood-to-soil contact. Standard: Existing-home envelope + drainage maintenance (gutter/downspout clearing, weep-screed and foundation-vent clearance, minor exterior envelope-crack sealing, dryer-vent lint clearance) — the entry-rung DIY-safe maintenance that keeps a home dry, pest-excluded and ready for the LBC Energy/Water petal work above it. DOE Weatherization Assistance Program envelope-maintenance practice + CPSC dryer-vent fire-safety guidance. SDG 11.1 (adequate, safe housing). Proof: before/after photo pairs per weep screed/vent run + clearance measurement + GPS Method (Existing-home envelope + drainage maintenance (gutter/downspout clearing, weep-screed and foundation-vent clearance, minor exterior envelope-crack sealing, dryer-vent lint clearance) — the entry-rung DIY-safe maintenance that keeps a home dry, pest-excluded and ready for the LBC Energy/Water petal work above it. DOE Weatherization Assistance Program envelope-maintenance practice + CPSC dryer-vent fire-safety guidance. SDG 11.1 (adequate, safe housing). assess->clear/patch->verify, ~30-120 min): 1. ASSESS: photograph each gutter run, downspout outlet, foundation weep screed/vent, exterior crack, and dryer-vent termination as found (debris, growth, buried screed, crack width, lint buildup). 2. Clear gutters and downspouts by hand or scoop, working from a stable ladder or ground-level tool; flush each downspout with water and redirect any outlet that discharges against the foundation to daylight at least 3 ft away. 3. Clear vegetation, mulch and debris from weep screeds and foundation vents so the wall assembly can drain and breathe; clean and prep any minor exterior envelope crack (non-structural, hairline to 1/4 in) and seal it with an exterior-grade sealant matched to the substrate. 4. Clear the dryer-vent duct run with a flexible brush kit from both the machine end and the exterior termination, and vacuum out the accumulated lint. 5. VERIFY: photograph each item from the matching before-vantage, pour a test cup of water down each cleared downspout to confirm flow, and confirm the dryer-vent damper opens and closes freely. Equipment: ladder rated for gutter-line access (or a ground-level gutter-cleaning wand) + gloves, garden hose or gutter scoop + bucket for downspout flush, exterior-grade caulk/sealant + putty knife for minor envelope-crack sealing, flexible dryer-vent brush kit + shop vacuum for lint clearance, camera + GPS + tape measure Done when: Before/after photo pairs for every gutter run, weep screed/vent, crack and vent termination worked; Downspout water-flow test showing clear discharge routed away from the foundation; Dryer-vent damper opens/closes freely after clearing, with a lint-removal photo; No structural crack (wider than 1/4 in, stepped, or actively growing) sealed over — those route to a licensed inspector instead

  1. 1. ASSESS: photograph each gutter run, downspout outlet, foundation weep screed/vent, exterior crack, and dryer-vent termination as found (debris, growth, buried screed, crack width, lint buildup).
  2. 2. Clear gutters and downspouts by hand or scoop, working from a stable ladder or ground-level tool; flush each downspout with water and redirect any outlet that discharges against the foundation to daylight at least 3 ft away.
  3. 3. Clear vegetation, mulch and debris from weep screeds and foundation vents so the wall assembly can drain and breathe; clean and prep any minor exterior envelope crack (non-structural, hairline to 1/4 in) and seal it with an exterior-grade sealant matched to the substrate.

  5. 5. VERIFY: photograph each item from the matching before-vantage, pour a test cup of water down each cleared downspout to confirm flow, and confirm the dryer-vent damper opens and closes freely.
