Five things to check in your home before the monsoon hits

A 20-minute walkthrough that can save you a 20,000-rupee repair. The pre-monsoon home maintenance checklist we share with every FixFiniti customer.

The week before the monsoon is the cheapest week of the year for home repairs. The week after the monsoon starts is the most expensive. The difference is twenty minutes with a torch.

1. Check your terrace drains

Walk up and pour a bucket of water near each drain. If it pools, you'll need to either snake the line or, in worst cases, get a plumber in. This is the single failure that turns a leak into a structural problem.

2. Inspect window seals

Run your finger along the bottom inside corners of every window. If the sealant is gritty, brittle, or pulling away from the frame, replace it. Silicone runs ₹250 for a tube — a damp wall costs ten times that.

3. Test the geyser before you need hot showers

Switch it on for 20 minutes. Listen for unusual sounds. If you hear a kettle-boiling noise, the element is scaled and needs flushing.

4. Inverter battery and earthing

Power cuts spike during monsoon. Top up your inverter battery's water (if not sealed) and confirm the earthing pin is intact. A FixFiniti electrician can do this in 15 minutes.

5. AC drain line

This is the failure that surprises people most: blocked drain lines cause AC units to drip indoors. A 10-minute service catches this before your ceiling does.
