The monsoon season in Kerala brings heavy rains, humidity, and potential damage to homes. Don't wait for leaks to appear! Here are 10 essential maintenance tips to protect your home:

**1. Check Terrace for Cracks**
Walk on your terrace and look for cracks. Even small cracks can cause major leaks during heavy rain. Fix them with waterproofing sealant or call Fixorix for professional terrace waterproofing.

**2. Clean All Drains**
Blocked drains cause water logging and damage to walls. Clean all rooftop and ground drains before the first heavy rain.

**3. Inspect Roof Tiles**
If you have a tiled roof, check for broken or loose tiles. Replace them immediately to prevent water seepage.

**4. Check Wall Dampness**
Look for dark patches on walls. These indicate moisture seepage. Treat them before monsoon to prevent mold and peeling paint.

**5. Test Your Sump Pump**
If your home has a sump pump, test it before the rains start. Make sure it's working properly to prevent basement flooding.

**6. Seal Window Gaps**
Check all windows for gaps and seal them with weather stripping. This prevents water from entering during heavy winds.

**7. Inspect Electrical Connections**
Water and electricity don't mix. Check all outdoor electrical connections and ensure they are waterproof. Call a Fixorix electrician for a safety inspection.

**8. Trim Overhanging Branches**
Trees near your home can cause damage during storms. Trim branches that hang over your roof.

**9. Check Your Geyser**
Humidity affects water heaters. Check your geyser for rust and ensure proper earthing.

**10. Prepare Emergency Kit**
Keep emergency numbers handy. Save Fixorix 24/7 helpline: 9778076007 for plumbing and electrical emergencies.
