Heavy rain is no joke when it comes to homes in Thailand.
Thailand enters the rainy season from May to October, especially in the northern, central, and southern regions, which often face continuous heavy rainfall. Homes are at risk of issues such as damp walls, peeling paint, mold, and accumulated musty odors. Therefore, maintaining a home to withstand the rain is essential for homeowners in every region.
Common problems that occur with homes during the rainy season
- Leaking walls: Caused by cracks or deteriorated old paint
- Mold and musty odors: High humidity allows mold to thrive
- Peeling paint: Especially paint that lacks moisture-resistant properties
- Swollen wooden floors: Caused by water absorption when there is no protective coating
