As the rainy season in Zimbabwe commences, it is very prudent to prepare for the worst.
It pays to be prepared, since over time, any house can still suffer from minor nicks and bruises such as leaks and cracks.
1. Gutter Cleaning: The major characteristic of the wind is its ability to blow things away! Leaves normally get trapped in the running gutters or even the down pipes. Before celebrating the rains, please do check the gutters for anything trapped there. Dont be surprised to find plants germinating there too! Common items that might be found there include sand, plastics, bottles and even shoes! Mind you kids enjoy making things fly.
Clean them gutters and allow free flow of water and enjoy the rains!
2. Seal Roof Leaks: Heavy winds have a tendency of loosening screws and nails. Cracks develop also in the process. These may act as avenues for leaks in the long run. The impact of leaks should never be underestimated. Statistics prove that some fires and electrocutions have been caused by ceiling leaks. We can all save our properties by sealing off cracks and roof gaps with a roofing membrane or even recoating of sheets. Painting or respraying can save your property.

4. Attend to all Home Drainage Systems: Blocked drainage systems cause unnecessary flooding and intermittent flashy floods. Its interesting to note items that may be found in blocked systems. From plastics, bottle to dipers, sanitary pads to towels and papers!
As we prepare for the heavy rains we should clear all water escape routes. This extends to creating water pathways like ridges and farrows.
