The best way to be prepared for monsoon and winters is prepping and checking your plumbing system, roof and gutters as well as your basement. The next part of the game is waterproofing your home. No matter what you do to winterize your home, it won't matter if your house isn't waterproof.
If you live in areas of heavy precipitation and snow, then waterproofing is mandatory for your house as snow and rain can badly damage your home. It can lead to flooding or water leakagefrom the foundation or the roof. Thus waterproofing your home is necessary. Other steps that restrict the flow of water include removal of shrubbery near the home, digging drainage ditches, planting shrubs on slopes, etc.
Other steps require professionals. Some waterproofing methods involve construction and handling chemicals. You can install an interior drainage system which must be done by a professional. While it is possible to treat your home with waterproofing chemicals, it is better left to professionals since they can be more thorough as well as get more effective chemicals than those available to the general public. In order to install the interior drainage system, the professional will dig up the floor at the base of the foundation walls. Thereafter, trenches are needed in order to control the flow of water. These trenches usually have gravel bases that facilitate better absorption. Post the fine installation and working of the trench, one can reinstall the floor on it. You can also drill the holes in the interior drainage system if you possess block walls. This will best work as the right waterproofing solutionsto resolve the problems in your basement.
Another method to waterproof your basement is sealants. The compound that is usually used in this process is known as the capillary waterproofing material. This sealant can be put on interior or exterior walls. Although you can apply it yourself, professionals will generally do a better job so it's a good idea to consider hiring a service company to do the work. Besides foundation and basement carry out waterproofing in other areas of your house too. Application of a good quality sold coat of any water resistant paint can be a good help in preventing moisture or water from seeping in. If you seal everything during the fall then you'll have a warm and cozy winter. So, employ these methods and prevent your home from the water or moisture.
