What home maintenance should I do before the monsoon?

Before the rains: check terrace and roof waterproofing, clear every drain, downpipe and chamber, clean the overhead tank and sump, seal window and door gaps against driving rain, trim trees near the house and wires, service the AC before the peak, and fill external wall cracks so water can't seep in.

How often should I clean my water tank?

Deep-clean overhead tanks and sumps at least once a year, and again before periods of peak use (pre-summer). In warm-humid areas or with hard water, twice a year is better. Always drain, scrub and disinfect, and check the lid seals and ball-valve.

What annual home maintenance is essential in India?

At minimum each year: a lift AMC service (if you have one), professional pest control and a termite inspection, a water-tank deep-clean, a borewell/pump check, a fire-extinguisher and alarm check, and a solar-system inspection where applicable.

How does the planner personalise my schedule?

You pick your climate zone (hot-dry, warm-humid, composite, temperate or cold) and tick what your home has — terrace, garden, AC, water tank, solar, lift, septic/STP, wooden furniture, inverter, borewell. The planner shows only the jobs that apply, grouped by season, and highlights the current period.

Maintenance is cheaper than repair

An Indian home takes a beating few others do — a punishing summer, a monsoon that finds every weakness, dust, hard water and heat all year. Almost every expensive failure, from a leaking terrace to a seized pump to a termite-eaten door, began as a small job that was easy to see and cheap to fix at the right moment. This planner is simply that: the right jobs, in the right season, for the home you actually have. Tick them off each year and the calendar resets with you.
