and repair work but you need to be alert as these
can cause harm to you through your immediate
environment. Rains Uncontrolled rains can cause
the maximum damage to your homes. There are
different outlets through which rain water might
seep in into the house including your basement
walls, doors and windows, roof leaks, and others.

closed) do not allow water to seep in, do not

basement, and follow other preventive measures to
be safe. If for some reason your house is
