Monsoon‑Ready Hill Homes: A Practical Checklist

Monsoon rain in the hills

Monsoon season in the hills is beautiful — and demanding. Use this checklist to keep your home dry, safe, and comfortable.

Exterior & Drainage

  • Clear roof gutters and downpipes before the rains begin.
  • Inspect boundary drains and ensure free flow.
  • Check balcony slopes to prevent water pooling.

Walls, Windows & Seals

Moisture control begins with good sealing. Inspect window frames and exterior joints for gaps or cracks that allow water seepage.

Indoor Comfort

  • Use dehumidifiers or ventilation to reduce dampness.
  • Keep soft furnishings dry and away from wet walls.
  • Check storage areas regularly for moisture buildup.

Power & Connectivity

Heavy rains can impact power and internet. Ensure backup systems are functional and keep emergency lighting ready.

Community Preparedness

Well‑managed communities run seasonal checks on common areas and access roads. Ask your association about their monsoon readiness plan.
