For us in construction, we think that summertime is the best time to check the home for any maintenance work that needs to get done. We prefer doing this over the summer, though unbearable, because it is a dry season and will help in accomplishing work a lot quicker without the strain that rain brings. And with the rainy season just a few weeks away, we think it wise to make sure that your home is rainy season ready so you can lounge to the pitter patter in peace.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 6 things we think are essential to check on every year:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>1. Inspect Roofing<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nWith the rainy season right on our heels, it would be wise to have the condition of your roof assessed by a professional. Check for any leaks, missing shingles or roofing tiles to avoid any further damage, and to get the roof reinforced for better home protection.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>2. Check For Termites<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIf your home has an abundance of wood, whether it be in furniture or interior works, it is always healthy to have the home checked for termites to prevent any further damage. Termites can eat into wood work and will cause walls and beams to weaken significantly or to collapse. The repair needed for this may cost more than a termite inspection, so we think it would be well worth it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>3. Clear Gutters and Downspouts<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOne thing that may cause leaks into the home is a gutter or downspout that isn\u2019t functioning properly. Check on them every now and then to ensure that there is nothing to block the water flow of the rain. Some spouts can also corrode with time and will need some replacing so rainwater can have a direct path to a street gutter.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>4. Resurface The Floor<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIs your floor looking dull? Does it seem to be holding on to dirt more than usual due to texture? That means it\u2019s time to have your floor resurfaced. Reveal a new layer of stone, wood or concrete to add a brightness to the room. And with a highly polished finish, your floors will hold on to less dirt, making it rainy season ready.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>5. Refresh the Paint<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nBeing in a tropical country, all homes and structures endure intense sun for most of the year. And with time, paint fades and will lose its vibrancy, can blister, crack, and grow mildew, which adds age to the appearance of a space or structure. \u00a0Inspecting for a needed paint job also provides the opportunity to invite smaller maintenance work to prolong the overall life of the home, as well as the paint.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>6. Check on Electrical Works and Fire Safety<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nBecause our more recent summers have been bringing extreme heat, it could cause older wires to overheat and melt or cause a fire. If you\u2019re living in an old house, ask a professional to come in and check on the condition of the electrical work that lines your home. Though this may be costly, it will be well worth it as this can help you save more money over time for better conducted electricity, fire hazard prevention, as well as an opportunity to update the wiring for developing internet service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-meta-info\"><div class=\"fusion-alignleft\"><a class=\"fusion-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tohbuilders.com\/summer-season-maintenance\/\" aria-label=\"More on Summer Season Maintenance\">Read More<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:20px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-top:30px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-aligncenter\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-medium button-custom fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span btn\" style=\"--button_accent_color:#ffffff;--button_accent_hover_color:#ffffff;--button_border_hover_color:#ffffff;--button-border-radius-top-left:0px;--button-border-radius-top-right:0px;--button-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--button-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--button_gradient_top_color:#f37028;--button_gradient_bottom_color:#f37028;--button_gradient_top_color_hover:#f37028;--button_gradient_bottom_color_hover:#f37028;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/tohbuilders.com\/inquire-now\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">INQUIRE NOW<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
