  1. Is Your Home Prepared For The Rainy Season

  2. Why Waterproofing Is Important? Every house, no matter what it is built of, is vulnerable to harsh weather conditions and damage that comes along. When exposed to constant rainfall, not only the exterior loses its aesthetic appeal but also loses its ability to protect the interiors. Rain water, particularly acid rain, contains varied pollutants and chemicals that attack the paint on the exterior of your building causing it to wear out faster than it usually does. Moreover, rain water can seep through the roofing and exterior walls promoting the development of mould and mildew.

  3. What Can You Do Protect Your Home During Rainy Season? The rainy season is fun and enjoyable when you have your home all prepared, protected and sound. Here are some considerations that will help you prepare your house for the rainy season. • Get The Roof Ready • Clean Out Gutters • Inspect The Interiors • Prepare The Exteriors

  4. Get The Roof Ready The roof is the most vulnerable part of your house in the rainy season and the most expensive to repair. So, it is important to inspect the roof at least twice a year. • Look for damaged, lose or worn out shingles. • Check along the ridges of the roof for cracks and leaks. • See if there are any rusty spots and holes across the valleys. • Have the professionals inspect your roof in case you can’t check the roof yourself.

  5. Clean Out Gutters Gutters are installed for the sole purpose of funnelling away any water that collects on the roof. • Clear out leaves or any debris to avoid blockages during heavy rain. • Make sure the gutters are structurally sound. • Make sure the gutters drain well and don’t cause water to back up under the shingles causing damage.

  6. Inspect The Interiors Besides the roof, windows and doors can also be an easy access point for rain water to seep through and cause damage to the interior walls. • Make sure all the windows and doors close and open properly. • Check door and windows for water leaks. • Make any repairs and improvements as required.

  7. Prepare The Exteriors Your exteriors walls are constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions. So, it is important to invest in their protection. • If your exteriors walls use permeable paints, consider applying waterproofing coats to prevent seepage. • Install siding boards to prevent damage caused by moisture and rain. • Check the walls for cracks and fix them before they turn into leaks.

  8. To Sum Up Keep these tips in mind and prepare your home well before the rainy season approaches to avoid costly repairs, improvements and damages in the future and ensure safety and protection of the residents.
