Bengaluru monsoons bring heavy downpours, waterlogging and power fluctuations, all of which affect lifts. A little preparation prevents breakdowns. Here is a practical monsoon guide for homeowners, RWAs and building managers.
Water in the lift pit
The pit sits at the bottom of the shaft and is the first place water collects. Check it before and after heavy rain. If you see water, switch off the lift and call your service provider. Never enter a wet pit.
Damp and corrosion
- Keep shaft vents clear and the machine room dry.
- Seal roof and wall leaks that drip into the shaft.
- Ask your technician to check rails, doors and wiring for rust or moisture.
Power fluctuations and outages
Voltage swings and outages are more frequent in the rains. Use proper earthing and stabilisation, and consider backup. See power backup and ARD.
Door tracks and wet floors
Rain carried in on shoes makes floors slippery and can clog door tracks. Keep lobby floors dry and clean the sill grooves.
A simple monsoon checklist
- Inspect the pit and machine room before the season.
- Fix leaks above the shaft.
- Confirm backup power or rescue device works.
- Schedule an AMC visit. See what happens in a service visit.
- Share emergency numbers with residents.
