Tips for Taking Care of Your Home during the Monsoon Season
"Not only do you need to keep an umbrella with you at all times during the season of sudden downpours, but you also need to secure your home."
The monsoon has arrived, and rains have been pouring in your city for a while. Not only do you need to keep an umbrella with you at all times during the season of sudden downpours, but you also need to secure your home.
Here are some of the ways for keeping your home dry and secure:
Waterproofing and painting
Check the roof, terrace, and balconies for leakages and provide a coat of waterproof layer for additional protection.
To ensure smooth drainage of water collected, the drains should be cleaned to ensure a smooth outflow of the water. This will help in preventing clogging.
Ensure that all your house painting work is completed before the advent of the monsoon. Waterproof paints work best for the outer walls as they help in giving additional protection against water seepage.
Check electrical fittings and connections
Any electrical connection on the exterior of the house and in danger of being exposed to the rain should be provided with adequate cover.
You may want to get your electrical fittings checked by an electrician to avoid any chances of electrical shock or short-circuit.
Make your home safer with simple precautions like covering the electrical fittings and connections properly.
Protect wooden furniture:
Nowadays, wooden furniture, floor, and furnishings are quite a in vogue. They lend a trendy look to your home while also looking vintage and artistic.
However, as we all know, maintenance and upkeep of the same can be quite tedious. To keep it looking beautiful and shiny, try to keep it away from any wet artifact or even clothes.
Wipe with a dry cloth or vacuum to clean it. Polish and coat the surface with new varnish if old.
Ensure AC Maintenance:
The humidity level goes up in the monsoon season and as such sitting in the comfort of an AC seems ideal and much-needed.
The dryness of the air and adequate cooling ensure that you remain comfortable. Thus, cleaning and maintenance of the AC are critical in the rains.
Not doing so can have several adverse effects including electrical troubles and rising costs of electricity.
