Tips
For
Monsoon
-
1.
Seek
professional
help
and
check
your
house
before
the
onset
of
monsoons
for
any
cracks
or
openings.
These
cracks
should
be
filled
with
modified
waterproof
mortar
and
sealed.
The
same
polymer
can
be
used
to
seal
the
joints
in
the
pipes
that
take
down
the
rain
water.
Ensure
that
the
pipes
that
carry
away
the
rain
water,
are
not
clogged
with
dust
or
leaves.
2. Instead of spending extra money on sophisticated decorations or furnishings, you could opt for roof insulation, which is a great way to protect your house from any impending damages. This would help keep the house warm during winter, cooler during summer. It also prevents unwanted noises from entering the house.
3. If you have any damaged tiles, replace them immediately.
4. Water tends to collect and stagnate on flat surfaces. By providing slopes where ever possible, you could overcome this problem.
5. To prevent water from seeping in through windows or doors, make sure that their frames are water tight and well-sealed.
6. For a well prepared monsoon home, regular painting of the exteriors can also prevent water leakages.
7. Installation of ventilators in the damp areas of the building avoids moisture from building up. Good ventilation ensures that there is plenty of air movement around the house.
8. Another important thing that has to be taken care of is the electrical connections around the house. Damages such as exposed wires have to be taken care of immediately, else it will lead to shock or fires.
9. Furnishings tend to get musty during the monsoon. They have to be regularly vacuumed or set out in the sun whenever possible.
10. Check for termite infestation, as an humid atmosphere will only boost the growth of termites. Make sure that wooden floors and furniture are properly polished to prevent moisture from building up. Cupboards and desks are easy target for infestation. Use camphor, neem leaves or cloves between clothes to keep away insects.
These home protection tips also come in handy for those who are under the process of constructing their dream house, as prevention is a better option. So go ahead and enjoy a great monsoon shower – only outside your home!
