Meteorological forecasts and practical advice
Francesc Mauri, the well -known Catalan meteorologist, is not only dedicated to informing about time. In his latest communications on social media, he emphasized the importance of taking precautions in homes in the face of spring, which often leads to an increase in rains.
The risks of spring rains
With the rainfall that has exceeded 100 liters in some areas in recent months, Mauri advises to make a thorough review of roofs, balconies and terraces to prevent leaks. The accumulated humidity can cause significant damage to both the structure of the buildings and the health of their occupants.
Impact of moisture on health
According to recent studies, 45% of the habitability problems in home are due to moisture. This situation may promote the appearance of mold and fungi, which are related to respiratory conditions such as asthma and rhinitis, and even serious infections such as aspergillosis.
Preventive Maintenance: The Key to Home Health
To prevent these problems from becoming a reality, Mauri recommends regular inspections and maintaining the constructive elements in good condition. Many buildings do not have a good waterproofing system, which makes these precautions fundamental.
Collaboration with experts
In collaboration with expert José Luis Gallego, Mauri emphasizes the importance of consulting professionals to identify possible invisible humidity. This is a cautious decision that can prevent greater long -term damage.
Acts before it’s too late
Reviewing the status of the house walls may seem like a minor task, but it can have significant consequences. Francesc Mauri insists that what can be done today is not left tomorrow, as an early intervention can be the key to maintaining a healthy environment.
Final reflections
With the arrival of spring, it is essential to be alert and act proactively to avoid the adverse effects of moisture. Information and prevention are the best allies to ensure the health of our home.
