To Keep Your House Safe During the Rainy Season
The rainy season is coming. For some people, the arrival of the rainy season is directly proportional to the increase in worries about things that will happen to their homes, such as leaking roofs, seepage of water on walls and floors, and even floods. In order to minimize worries about this, it is necessary to anticipate so that your home is safe when the rainy season arrives. Here are some tips that can be applied to protect your home so that it stays safe when it rains.
CHECK THE ROOF
Inspection of the roof of the house is often neglected. Awareness of this is only deemed necessary when a leak occurs during the rainy season. To anticipate this, check regularly, at least twice a year, on the roof of your house. Regular maintenance of this roof will make your worries about leaks go away during the rainy season. During the inspection, make sure there are no cracks in the roof ridge, no holes in the gutters, and no cracked and weathered tiles. If necessary, coat the roof with waterproof paint (waterproof).
CHECK THE WALLS OF THE HOUSE
The walls of the house often experience water seepage, especially if the walls of your house are adjacent to a neighbor's house. For that, make sure the gutters are installed perfectly. Prevent the walls of your house from excess moisture. If necessary, repaint using waterproof paint (waterproof).
CHECK THE WATER LINE
Clogged drains will cause serious problems when the rainy season arrives. Usually, this is only realized when the high volume of water during the rainy season is unable to pass through the water channel, so that the water overflows outside the channel. While it hasn't rained intensely, it's a good idea to check the drains in your home. Take care that running water does not return to your home.
DOORS AND WINDOWS
The position of the door, especially the window, is not infrequently always reached by the rain from the roof, especially if the rain is accompanied by strong winds. To avoid rainwater infiltrating through the gaps in the doors and windows, make sure the two parts can be tightly closed. On the terrace, perhaps a wide roof could be built. Meanwhile, a canopy can be made at the window to anticipate the entry of rainwater.
FURNITURE AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
Floods are the worst impact of the high intensity of rain when the season arrives. If your residence is in an area prone to flooding, immediately take an inventory of your furniture and electronic equipment. Secure the items to a higher place. Don't wait for rain or flood to do this to minimize unwanted things
