After a harsh summer, the monsoons are the most awaited season across the country but how much ever soothing and beautiful rain is, it brings a whole host of problems along with it. From waterlogging to damp walls, water-borne and mosquito-borne diseases to leakages and what not. Check out these simple and effective tips to protect your home in these heavy rains:
1. Check the drains and ensure that there is no waterlogging and the area remains clean. There are chances for debris and mud gathering which could block the drains.
2. If there is any leakage in your home from any of the outlets, get it fixed at the earliest. It not only spreads foul smell but also acts as a source for insects breeding and spreads mosquitoes.
3. Check all electrical fittings are in place and functioning properly. If any wires are open or exposed, they must be concealed in order to avoid short circuits and any chances for mishap.
4. Cracks on walls need to be concealed with adhesives in order to stop leakage. Seepage could cause fungal growth and is harmful for people living in that home. This dampness could even result in the wall paint getting peeled off.
5. Make sure your doors and windows do not have any gap to let water in.
6. Rainwater on furniture could discolour floors and furniture pieces. Therefore, it must be maintained and wiped with a dry cloth to ensure that there is no moisture content.
7. Applying a layer of waterproof coating, wax or polish on furniture will avoid the chances of rain spoiling the furniture.
8. Keep naphthalene balls in wardrobes to absorb moisture or dampness.
