Sudden thunderstorms or a prolonged rainy season can damage some indoor locations if not carefully checked. Early detection of damaged locations in the house will help minimize damage and be proactive in repairing to save costs for the family.
Accordingly, the 4 locations in the house below that housewives need to pay attention to check because they may be affected in some ways during the rainy and stormy season.
Outdoor walls
The outer walls of the house are areas that are often directly exposed to the sun, rain and high humidity. This is also the reason why the paint layer on the outside is quickly peeling and damaged. And if not treated promptly, rainwater can penetrate deep into the house, causing mold, patchwork or cracking the crow's feet.
If moss or yellow stains grow in these areas, it will be a sign that the walls of the house are starting to break down due to water seepage.
Regularly check the walls of your home if you notice signs of cracking or swelling to promptly paint them to prevent absorption or take intensive treatment measures to help protect your home in erratic sunny or rainy weather.
Roof
The roof is also a place that is affected a lot when there is heavy rain accompanied by strong gusts of wind. In thunderstorms, the roof is prone to cracking or the roofing material is rotten, which will cause the house to leak. In addition, the drainage system on the roof needs to be regularly checked to avoid stagnant water.
Before the rainy season, carefully check the tiled roof, corrugated iron or roofing materials to prevent damage, and clean the springs and drainage roads to ensure safety during thunderstorms.
Windows and door frames
The gaps between the door frame and the wall, especially the window area, also need to be carefully inspected. These are places that are easily soaked with rainwater if the acacia trees are exposed or age over time.
When water enters through window sills or door frames, it will lead to molded walls, water flooding into the house, causing slippery and damaging the interior.
Be sure to check and replace the silicone glue around the windows and door sills if you see signs of cracking or peeling. If using wooden doors, you need to pay attention to the curvature when the weather is humid to avoid creating space.
Power system and sockets
In humid thunderstorms, power outlets located near the floor or entrance are easily soaked with water. This is the reason for the fire, electrical short circuit... endangering family members.
Use anti-ship devices as well as check open lines to find a way to handle them soon to ensure safety during the rainy and stormy season.
