6 Easy Ways to Make Your New Home Monsoon Ready

Every single time monsoon approaches, an utter sense of joy arises in everyone’s hearts. There is the fresh smell of rain, greenery all around, and never-ending cups of hot chocolate.

Though you may wait eagerly for the season to approach, your house may not want it as much as you do. With heavy downpours in Toronto, endless moisture hits on the property dampening the walls and inviting fungus into it.

However, you can evade these beautiful months’ gloomy side by being proactive and taking some smart precautionary measures. Here are the easiest and effective ways to rain-proof your home and make it ready to withstand the season this year:

 Home Monsoon Ready

Carry Out Roof Checks

Endless rainfall in Canada takes a major toll on the roofs leading to incessant spilling inside homes. That is why it is recommended to check the rooftops regularly and fix the splits and chinks as soon as you see them. Keep a close on the rain gutters to avoid major clogging. Likewise, consider getting precipitation covering so that no water overflows in.

Repair the Wall Leakages/Cracks

Once the rainy months set in, it becomes challenging to repair the cracks and leakages as the sealants don’t dry out in time. This is why experts advise that homeowners get everything, including the basement areas, repaired well in advance so that there are little or no rainwater chances to seep in through them. But, be sure you call in for a professional basement renovation expert for the purpose and refrain from trying your amateur DIY tricks.

Safeguard Your Wooden Furniture

The trend of wooden furniture, floor, and furnishings is timeless. They look classy as always and give a vintage and artistic feel to a home. However, during the monsoon season, the maintenance and upkeep of the same become trouble-some. You have to wooden items dry and clean at all times to keep their beauty intact.

Recheck Your Wiring

Electrical malfunction is a major risk that lingers in and around the house during rains. Any exposed electrical wiring or socket may cause short circuits and electrocution. You must examine the electrical system properly and fix all issues before the inclement weather sets in full force. Also, install a voltage regulator and a trip switch for extra protection.

Ventilate the Indoors

Excess moisture brings along a lot of infection in homes. Thus proper ventilation must be maintained throughout your bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen area. Make a clear way for fresh air and natural sunlight to let in to successfully diminish the moistness and the chances of illness among your loved ones.

Waterproofing is Must

The rains can make your walls wet and leave behind awkward stains that get extremely difficult to remove later on. Plus, the dampness becomes a breeding ground for mold and other bacteria. However, to prevent that from happening, it is best to waterproof your basement and walls.
