Tips to Maintain Your Apartment During Rainy Season

Apartments in Kottayam

The rainy season is fast approaching and with it comes a whole new set of challenges when it comes to keeping the home clean. It is the time in a year where your property and its content need an extra care. The dry season has its dust and debris that is swished around by dry winds. The wet season is filled with sticky mud and dirty puddles of water. It is not impossible however to keep your apartment spotless during this season. With a few tweaks here and there, you will never notice the difference save for when you get out or look through your window. Failure to protect your home from rain can result in damage or loss which need costly repair or sometimes difficult to repair. The moisture or mould can be a threat to you and your family member’s health. Moisture in building or penetrating rainwater in the wall or building structure can be prevented if you prepare your apartment for the rainy season.
Outdoor Maintenance
  • Look for lawn damage: Low areas next to the foundation should be filled in so water drains away from your house, and bare patches should be re-seeded to revive the grass.
  • Check for loose and leaky gutters: When your gutters don’t drain correctly, it can lead to all kinds of problems, including leaks in your roof and damage to your foundation: Be sure to clear the leaves and other debris out of your gutters, but be careful—if you plan on climbing up on a ladder, have a friend around who can keep the ladder steady.
  • Check your deck:  Power-wash your deck to clear away winter grime, and re-stain if needed. Before staining, check the forecast to ensure you have a few rain-free days ahead.
  • Inspect your roof:  Using a pair of binoculars, look for loose shingles, broken flashing around vents and chimney damage. Contact a professional for repairs.
  • Have a look at your walkway:  Look for cracks in concrete slabs, and fill them in with concrete crack filler if necessary. Make sure all walkways, driveways and other concrete surfaces drain away from the foundation.

Indoor Maintenance
  • Deep-clean your carpets: Dirt builds up in carpets over time, so you might not even notice them getting dirty, but you’ll sure see the difference once they’ve been cleaned!
  • Test smoke and fire alarms: Replace batteries if necessary, and don’t forget to check your carbon monoxide detectors as well.
  • Tend to your air conditioner: You’ll be using your AC a lot in the months ahead. Be sure to clean both the indoor and outdoor units. It’s a good idea to have them professionally serviced at least once a year, and spring is a perfect time.
  • Clean out your refrigerator: While you’re at it, why not defrost the freezer and vacuum the coils to boost efficiency?
  • Clean and adjust ceiling fans: Chances are good that your ceiling fans haven’t had much use over the winter. A lot of dust can hide on the upper surface of the fan blades. Make sure your ceiling fans are set to spin counterclockwise to give you the most cooling power.
