Essential Home Maintenance Tips for Nigerian Homes

2024-01-05

From plumbing to electrical—practical tips to keep your home in good condition through the seasons.

Nigeria's climate—hot, humid, and seasonal rains—can take a toll on your home. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your property in good condition.

Plumbing: Check for leaks under sinks, around toilets, and at pipe joints. A dripping tap can waste a lot of water over time. Fix leaks promptly and consider upgrading to modern fixtures for better efficiency.

Electrical: Overloaded circuits are a common cause of fires. Avoid daisy-chaining too many appliances on one outlet. If you experience frequent tripping or flickering lights, have a qualified electrician inspect your wiring.

Roofing: Inspect your roof before and after the rainy season. Look for loose sheets, missing nails, or blocked gutters. Water damage from a small leak can spread quickly.

Painting: Exterior paint protects against moisture and sun. A fresh coat every few years can extend the life of your walls. Use weather-resistant paints for outdoor surfaces.
