In homes where "flooding under the floor" has occurred due to heavy rain, various damages and risks of secondary damage may be lurking in unseen areas. To protect the durability of the house and the health of the family, we have organized the points that should be prioritized for inspection and action. 【Table of Contents】 1. Why is inspecting under the floor essential? 2. 【Emergency Checkpoints】First, check here! A. Presence of flooding or moisture B. Condition of the wood C. Presence of unusual odors D. Signs of termites or pests E. Condition of ventilation openings 3. Immediate response methods when damage is discovered - Mild situations with little standing water or moisture - - Situations with standing water where structural impact is a concern - The damage from flooding under and above the floor due to heavy rain requires significant recovery efforts, including cleanup. We sincerely sympathize with those who have been affected. Please be sure to read the 【related materials】【related links】. ↓ ↓ ↓

Some of you may be hesitant about introducing the effective equipment for pest control under the floor and preventing foundation deterioration (moisture control), known as "underfloor ventilation fans." Why is ventilation under the floor necessary? We have created a page that clearly summarizes the effects of forced ventilation and installation. Under the floor, a certain area of openings is required by the Building Standards Act. In other words, it mandates that there must be a ventilation opening of a certain size for moisture control under the floor. However, when looking at actual single-family homes, there are always ventilation openings, whether they are square grilles or full-perimeter ventilation with foundation packing methods. In recent years, homes using foundation insulation methods (especially in northern regions like Hokkaido) have also been built, but in this method, the underfloor is connected to the interior, and the underfloor is considered part of the interior, so there are no ventilation openings under the floor to prioritize insulation effectiveness. The adoption rate of foundation insulation methods is still low, but moisture issues are not nonexistent. I would like to touch on this topic on another occasion.

The Importance of Customer Management The decline in population due to the aging society and low birthrate has become a social issue, affecting the consumption activities of the public. How can we overcome this? Acquiring new customers is important. At the same time, maintaining relationships with customers that we have worked hard to acquire is arguably even more important. This is because connecting with new customers (business development) incurs the highest costs for a company. If existing customers are satisfied and continue to purchase various products and services, contributing to the company's revenue, it will reduce the costs needed for acquiring new customers, or allow for more investment in business development. Our company has been focusing on the utilization of items aimed at strengthening customer touchpoints, while experimenting and refining our approach. This time, we will organize and present the details of that effort.

"Because it's an unseen place, we won't overlook it." Japan's climate is hot and humid, and particularly after typhoons and heavy rains, the conditions for homes become harsh. It's not just the roof and exterior walls that are affected by rain and wind. The area beneath the floor is actually the most susceptible and often overlooked point. This time, we will explain the "checkpoints under the floor" that should be confirmed after a typhoon or heavy rain, the "responses" if abnormalities are found, and measures to prevent recurrence.
