Extreme Weather, Time to Check Building Structures!

Lately, the weather has become increasingly unpredictable—sometimes it’s very hot, sometimes it rains heavily with strong winds. Well, conditions like this can be a tough test for your building structure. Don’t wait until it’s damaged, let’s start checking now!

1. Check for Cracks in Walls and Columns
Small cracks can be an early sign that the structure is under pressure or shifting. If left unchecked, it can become a big problem!

Tip: Check the area near windows, doors, and corners of the building. Diagonal cracks need to be watched out for.

2. Pay Attention to the Roof and Gutters
Strong winds and heavy rain can cause the roof to shift, leak, or even come off. Clogged gutters can also cause water to pool and damage the building structure.

Tip: Clean the gutters regularly and make sure the roof is still sturdy and properly tied.

3. Check the Foundation and Floor
Continuous waterlogging can cause the foundation to become soft or even collapse. Cracked floors can also be a sign of a problem beneath the surface.

Tip: Check if there are any parts of the floor that are starting to sink or tilt.

4. Condition of Structural Iron
If the building uses iron without anti-rust coating, when the weather is humid and rains continuously, corrosion can occur. This can reduce the strength of the building structure.

Tip: Use galvanized iron or coat it with anti-rust paint regularly.

5. Make sure the drainage channel is functioning
Poor drainage = stagnant water = increased risk of damage. Water that settles around the foundation can cause excess moisture.

Tip: Make sure there is a smooth flow of water and does not lead to the foundation.

Conclusion
Regularly checking the building structure in extreme weather is not just about maintenance—it's also about safety and comfort.
