The monsoon season is particularly unique in our part of the world. India faces months of lashing winds and torrential rains, with continual wetness and dampness. This brings a set of unique problems for homeowners- leaks, peeling paint, foul odour, damage, pests are a common sight. Your home is a safe haven that protects you from the dangers of the world, regular upkeep is all the more important, especially during unforgiving Indian monsoons.

There’s a common saying, “home is where the heart is.”

Home is the only place of bountiful happiness and effortless joy, a place where you would want to come back to and spend some quality time with your loved ones. As much as a home is essential for you, your home also needs you. This is what I have learned throughout my journey as a Waterproofing Expert with Berger Paints. And today, I am going to share my experience and expertise to help you, as a homeowner, to keep your home protected from exterior or interior damps, gaps, cracks, tile fixing problems, and much more.

A house is a significant asset that involves a huge investment. Old or new, a house is a cherished dream for all home buyers and proactive measures need to be taken towards mitigating all kind of risks. Water leakage or water seepage is one of the major causes of structural defects in buildings. It results in dampness, fungal growth and metal corrosion.

Since the early days on, human beings have been looking for shelter to seek safety from elements of nature. First, we built huts and mud houses and now we have moved to concrete structures and high rises. But the risks that nature poses still remains high. Even with technological and architectural advances, water damage still remains a major concern.
