8 Tips to Protect Your Home during Monsoon

Monsoons are loved by all. But it cannot be denied that the stiff downpour brings a lot troubles along. Think about the damage that a strong spell of rain can do to your much-loved home.

The dampness, musty stink, leakages, fungus, mould and rusting are enough to transform your beloved den into an awful nightmare.  

                        

Devika Pragati Group has come up with a few ideas for your home to look fresh and clean even during monsoons. So if you do not want heavy rainstorm to harm your property in any way, the following tips are for you:

1. Protect the wooden furniture & floor

The moisture during monsoons can make wooden doors, windows, drawers and cupboards swell and stink. To get rid of swelling, oil the hinges, rub sandpaper and varnish the wooden furniture again. Use camphor, need leaves or cloves in cabinets to protect clothes from insects and damp smell. Also, high moisture content can make hardwood floors warp. Therefore, do not forget to wax the wooden floors properly before the onset of rainy season.

2. Make exterior & interior walls waterproof

Use specially-formulated waterproof and moisture-resistant protection base on the walls. Top it with multiple coats of weather-proof paint. This will repair all cracks and block the tiny pores so as to keep moisture away.

3. Ventilation is important

Cross-ventilation plays a vital role in keeping the home airy and odor-free. It will keep the humidity levels in control and will not create dampness in the surroundings.

4. Save your carpets & rugs

Clean carpets and rugs regularly with a vacuum cleaner to prohibit seepage of moisture into the fibers. You could use a fragrant carpet cleaner to get rid of the damp smell. The best way to protect them in monsoons is to actually roll them up using polyethylene/plastic sheets. Use acrylic carpets and bamboo mats instead.

5. Dodge rusting of grills and rods

The simplest way of battling corrosion of iron frames, rods or grills during monsoon season is to paint them afresh. Make sure all the gaps in tiles and metal doors are properly filled and sealed.

6. Insulate electrical wiring

The danger of electric failures and shocks shoots higher in monsoon season. Make sure there is no water leakage around electrical transformers, motors, generators and boards. Also, insulate power distribution lines properly to avoid hazardous situations.

7. Clean the garage

Repair roof leakages and water drainage system in the garage even before the onset of rains. Restrict rain water from entering into the garage to protect your vehicles and to avoid foul smell.

8. Pest control

High humidity can cause termite infestation. For this, you could take professional help and get the entire house pest controlled.
