How To Protect Your Home During Monsoon

Here are 5 simple tips to protect your home during monsoon

Waterproofing

Look out for any cracks or leaks in the ceilings, floors and walls of your home and fix any to prevent water from coming inside

Remove stagnant water

Make sure there are no areas with stagnant water as it is the breeding ground for mosquitoes. Unclog any drains and repair all pipes that may need fixing

Keep doors and windows closed

Keep the doors and windows closed when it rains to prevent rainwater from coming inside. Keep your carpets away from doors and windows or store them during this season

Move furniture away from the walls

Move away your furniture from the walls in case of any leakages. Use moisture-resistant furniture polish or paint and clean your furniture with a dry cloth regularly

Ensure ventilation

To reduce humidity levels at home, ensure proper ventilation. Open windows when it's not raining outside and use dehumidifiers and fans
