Pre-Monsoon Home Checklist for Nepal

A practical room-by-room and exterior checklist to complete before Nepal's monsoon season begins in earnest.

Inspect and clean roof drainage

Clear gutters and rainwater outlets of debris before the monsoon starts to prevent overflow and seepage.

Check terrace waterproofing condition

Look for hairline cracks or bubbling in the waterproofing membrane that indicate it needs repair before rains arrive.

Seal window and door frames

Check and re-seal gaps around window and door frames where wind-driven rain commonly penetrates.

Test the sump pump if applicable

For homes with basement drainage, verify the sump pump works before it's needed during heavy rainfall.

Use this in Build Mart Nepal

Turn the guidance into action by creating a project, loading a BOQ, matching local providers, issuing quotations and storing approvals in the Build Mart Nepal construction operating system.

Quick implementation checklist

• Define the required outcome and acceptance evidence.
