It is only a couple of months before the monsoon will come calling. Waterproofing means keeping your house dry and not allow water to penetrate to the inside of your home. This means there will be less humidity inside and consequently less damage. Waterproofing frequently begins with checking your doors and windows for leaks and closing any to forestall damage due to heavy rains. We list a few basic ways in which you can rain-proof your home.
► Check for Leakages Water seepage into the roofs and walls can not only cause long-term damage to the structures but also make for a damp and uncomfortable environment. This check is best done when there are light showers. Any wet patches on the walls/roofs indicate seepage through cracks. These can be fixed using adhesives and plaster and sealing these cracks.
