For this reason, it would not hurt for residents to start preparing their homes while waiting for the arrival of the rainy season. There are several areas in the house that you need to consider before the rainy season arrives. Here are 6 areas that need attention and preparation so that the house is ready for the rainy season. May be useful!
RoofThis area is certainly the most at risk of being affected by the rainy season. Rooftop or roof connections that were previously exposed to the sun's heat during the dry season are at risk of cracking. These cracks are the source of the problem of leakage during the rainy season. To prevent this, you can coat this area with waterproofing or leak-proof coatings. Don't forget, pay attention to the precarious position on the roof. Make sure the tiles are in a tight position and that there are no broken or broken tiles.
Mossy WallMossy walls are usually a problem caused by a leaky roof. Not only because water leaks which flows directly into the wall, the humid air during the rainy season also risks making mold and mildew appear on the walls. Just like the roof, to prevent mossy walls, you can coat the walls of the house with a leak-proof coating.
Also pay attention to areas on the wall that already have traces of fungus. If available, find out where the area is leaking or where water is seeping. Overcome the cause of the leak or seepage and scrape the moldy area first. Then, coat it with a leak-proof then repaint the wall.
Taman BecekOutdoor areas are the areas most prone to problems during the rainy season. Make sure the garden in your home has a recharge well to accommodate the heavy rain discharge. If the garden is built on a cement or concrete floor, make sure the garden waterways are not compressed and free of sediment. So that the park does not seem muddy, fill the park area with grass. If there is an area that is not exposed to the sun and does not allow grass to grow, you can use coral as a ground cover to avoid muddy.
WaterwaysThis area usually goes unnoticed when preparing a house for rain. We recommend that you regularly clean the drains around your home from leaves and other trash. If there is dirt that clogs, then when it rains, the water will clog up and risk overflow. If the blockage is severe enough, the area around your house can be flooded and will hinder daily activities.
Tempi on the terraceIn addition to leaking, tempias also become one of the problems on the porch when it rains. Tempias often occur when the tritisan is not equipped with rain gutters. Without gutters, rain water that falls from the tritisan is usually heavy and will become a waterfall that will wet the area on the terrace making it vulnerable to slippery and easy to get dirty. Tempias can also be anticipated by installing blinds on the tritisan boundaries. Make sure the blinds are installed using waterproof material.
Exterior LightsPay attention to the cables and lights for your garden and terrace. Make sure no wires are peeled off to prevent electrical short circuiting when the cable is exposed to rain. If there are cables that are damaged, immediately replace it with a new one. The lights in the park also need to be checked for safety. Make sure the lampshade is installed perfectly, do not let any gaps that can enter the water.
