Ukulungiselela Isimo Esiphuthumayo Kwamafulethi kanye Nabaqashi Bekhaya: Ukuthola Amavalvu Okuvala Ngokuhlanganyela, Amafasitela Akhishwa Ngokushesha, kanye 'Nokulahlekelwa Kokusetshenziswa'¶

Lapho umlilo, ipayipi eliqhumayo, ukuvuza kwegesi, noma isiphepho somoya sihlasela isakhiwo esinamafulethi, i-duplex, noma indlu yomndeni owodwa eqashiwe, abaqashi babhekana nezingozi ezintathu zokuphepha zempilo kanye nezezimali abanikazi bezindlu abangavamile ukubhekana nazo: abazi ukuthi amanzi afihliwe, igesi, namavalvu okuvala kagesi atholakala kuphi (noma yimaphi ama-valve adinga umnikazi wendawo indawo yokulala noma igumbi lokulala elingaphansi* amafasitela angase avalwe ngebhawudi ngezinsimbi ezingashintshiwe ezingekho emthethweni ezingenalo i-latch yangaphakathi ekhishwa ngokushesha**, futhi ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angu-40 abaqashi ngephutha bakholelwa ukuthi inqubomgomo yomshwalense wokwakha wabanikazi bawo ihlanganisa ifenisha yabo eshisiwe, izingubo ezimoshwe intuthu, nezikweletu zehhotela. Uma umlilo osebenzayo, ukuvuza kwegesi, noma isimo esiphuthumayo sesakhiwo senzeka njengamanje, phuma ebhilidini ngokushesha futhi ushayele inombolo yakho yasendaweni yezimo eziphuthumayo usebenzisa yethu. izinombolo eziphuthumayo umkhombandlela. Futhi buyekeza imihlahlandlela yethu ku ifulethi kanye nokuphuma okuphezulu okuma mpo nendawo yokukhosela endaweni, izinhlelo zokubalekela umlilo ekhaya kanye nezitebhisi zokuphunyuka zesitezi sesibili, futhi ukuhlanganisa i-go-binder yezezimali kanye ne-document vault.

Ngokusho kwe- Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), iNational Fire Protection Association (NFPA 101 Life Safety Code), I-United States Fire Administration (USFA), kanye ** Nenhlangano Kazwelonke YamaKhomishana Omshwalense (NAIC)**, abaqashi cishe banethuba eliphindwe kathathu kunabanikazi bokuthola izindlu zabo zokuhlala isikhathi eside noma ukungabi namakhaya ngemva komlilo wemindeni eminingi noma izikhukhula. Lesi gebe senzeka ngenxa yokuthi inqubomgomo yendawo yokuthengisa yomnikazi wendawo (DP-3 Dwelling Fire noma Commercial Habitational Policy) iqinisekisa amaphesenti angu-100 esitini, uphahla, izigxobo, ne-drywall, kanye namaphesenti angu-0 wempahla yomuntu siqu yomqashi noma ukuhlala kwehhotela eliphuthumayo. Okubi nakakhulu, uma ubhavu ochichimayo kamakhelwane noma umlilo wamafutha wasekhishini ugcwala indlu yakho ngamanzi okufafaza nentuthu, umshwalense womnikazi wendawo noma izibonelelo ze-FEMA ngeke zikhokhele ukuhlala ehhotela izinyanga ezingu-6 noma kushintshe ikhabethe lakho, kuyilapho $10 to $15 per month ISO HO-4 Inqubomgomo Yomshwalense Oqashile / Abaqashiwe ihlanganisa Ikhava D (Loss of Use / Additional Living Expenses / ALE), ekhokha izikweletu zakho zehhotela, umehluko wokuqashisa wesikhashana, ukudla kwendawo yokudlela, indawo yokuhlala yezilwane ezifuywayo, nesitoreji sefenisha kusukela ngoSuku 1. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukuqhuba imizuzu engu-15 Yokuhamba Kokuphepha Kokuphila Komqashisi wamafasitela ekamelo lakho lokulala, amayunithi ama-sub-panel breaker, namavalvu amanzi alungisiwe kuvimbela ukuguqula izimo eziphuthumayo zefulethi elincane.

Yenza lokhu manje¶

1. Ngena kuwo wonke amagumbi okulala eyunithi yakho yokuqasha njengamanje futhi uhlole noma yiziphi izinsimbi zokuphepha, ama-grille, noma ama-grates agxunyekwe phezu kwamafasitela (NFPA 101 & International Fire Code Section 1031). Igumbi lokulala ngalinye kufanele libe nezindlela ezimbili zokuphuma (the bedroom door plus at least one egress window). Uma iwindi lekamelo lakho lokulala linezinsimbi zokuvikela ezi-ezikhiyiwe, eziboshiwe, noma ezishiselwe ezingenalo i-latch ekhishwa ngokushesha yesandla noma yonyawo yangaphakathi, ulele ngaphakathi kogibe lomlilo obulalayo. Hlola i-lever yangaphakathi yokukhishwa namuhla ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi iyavuleka ngokunyakaza okukodwa ngaphandle kokhiye, ithuluzi, noma inhlanganisela; uma igqwalile ivaliwe noma idinga ukhiye, funa ukulungiswa ngokushesha kokuthotshelwa kwekhodi kumnikazi wendawo noma umcishi-mlilo wendawo.
2. Thola bese ulebula ama-shutoff AMATHATHU angaphakathi okulawula ngaphakathi kweyunithi yakho (Fixture Angle-Stop Water Valves, Unit Water Cutoff, futhi Unit Electrical Sub-Panel). Bheka ngaphansi kwawo wonke usinki nangemuva kwayo yonke indlu yangasese ukuze uhlole i-oval chrome i-fixture angle-stop valves (turn clockwise to stop an overflowing toilet or burst braided supply hose). Vula ingaphakathi lensimbi yefulethi lakho ibhokisi le-breaker kagesi futhi uqinisekise ukuthi wonke amaswishi (Kitchen, Bathroom GFCI, Range, HVAC, Main Unit Disconnect) ibhalwe ngokucacile.
3. Yazi umngcele oqinile phakathi Kokuvalwa Kweyunithi kanye Nokuvalwa Kwesakhiwo Semindeni Ehlukene Okuhlanganyelwe (NEVER shut off a multi-unit street gas meter bank yourself). Esakhiweni esinamafulethi noma enamagumbi amaningi, ukuvala i-valve yegesi yemvelo ehlanganyelwayo noma isikhuphukeli samanzi esiyinhloko sebhilidi kunqamula amalambu okushayela kanye namapayipi amisiwe okufafaza umlilo emindenini eminingi. Uma uhogela igesi yemvelo (rotten eggs / mercaptan), ungathinti ama-switch light kagesi noma ama-valve egesi angaphansi: khipha isakhiwo futhi ushayele ku-911/112/999 kanye nesisetshenziswa segesi ukusuka ngaphesheya komgwaqo.
4. Thenga noma uhlole i-akhawunti yakho HO-4 I-Renters Insurance Policy namuhla futhi uqinisekise izigaba ezintathu eziqondile: (1) "Replacement Cost Value (RCV)" esikhundleni sokuthi "Actual Cash Value (ACV)", (2) "Coverage D: Loss of Use / Additional Living Expenses (ALE)" okungenani 40% to 50% komkhawulo wokuqukethwe kwakho (or 12 to 24 months), kanye (3) a "Water Backup / Sewer & Sump Overflow Endorsement". Okujwayelekile ACV izinqubomgomo zidonsa ukwehla kwenani futhi zikukhokhele $80 kwengane eneminyaka engu-5 $1,200 usofa, kanti RCV ukhokha ngokugcwele $1,200 ukuthenga usofa omusha sha namuhla.
5. Shutha ividiyo ye-smartphone yemizuzu engu-4 yokuhamba udlula kuwo wonke amagumbi, ikhabethe, ikhishi lekhabethe, neshalofu lezincwadi efulethini lakho bese ulibuyisela efwini. Vula wonke amakhabethe, qopha izitikha zenombolo ye-serial ngemuva kukamabonakude wakho, ikhompuyutha ephathekayo, ibhayisikili, nezinsimbi zomculo, bese ulayisha i-PDF yakho esayiniwe Isivumelwano Sokuqashisa Sendawo yokuhlala ingagunyaza isimangalo somshwalense wevidiyo ngamahora angu-8 eduze kwesicelo somshwalense wakho wamahora angu-8 umlilo.
6. Hlola yonke i-alamu yentuthu kanye ne-carbon monoxide (CO) i-alamu eyunithi yakho kanye ngenyanga, futhi ungalokothi ukhiphe ibhethri ukuze uthulise ukutshiyoza kwebhethri elincane. Uma indawo oyiqashile inemishini eshisa uphethiloli (gas stove, gas water heater, gas furnace) noma igaraji elinamathiselwe ngaphansi kwendlu yakho, xhuma isibonisi sedijithali UL-2034 I-Carbon Monoxide Alarm endaweni yokukhipha ikamelo lokulala ngisho noma umninindlu engakayifaki.

Isihlahla sesinqumo: Ukuqashwa kwezimo eziphuthumayo zokuvuza kwezinsiza, ukuphuma komlilo, nokufuduka¶

Sebenzisa leli shidi lokugeleza lokusebenza ukuze uphathe ukuhluleka okukhulu kwefulethini, ingozi yokubalekela umlilo, noma ukunqanyulwa kokuqashisa kwangemva kwenhlekelele.

Ingxenye 1: Amabha Okuvikela Amawindi Egumbi Lokulala, Ukuphunyuka Komlilo, kanye Nemithetho Yokuphuma Kwesibili Yabaqashi¶

Ngaphambi kokuthi ukhiphe ibhokisi elilodwa eliphansi, elingaphansi ("izinga lengadi"), noma ifulethi lesitezi sesibili/sesithathu, cwaninga Izindlela Ezimbili Zokuphuma zakho kuzo zonke izindawo zokulala:

1. Ungawahlola Kanjani Amafasitela Okuvikela Amafasitela Egumbi Lokulala ukuze Athotshelwe Ikhodi (IFC Section 1031 & California Building Code Chapter 10)¶

Amabha okugqekeza nama-grilles okuvikela ensimbi okuhlobisa avamile ezindlini zasemadolobheni aphansi kanye namafasitela asemngceleni wokuphuma komlilo wensimbi wangaphandle. Ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi amabha akho okuvikela ngeke akubambe emlilweni:

1. Umthetho othi "Awukho Ukhiye, Alikho Ithuluzi, Ukunyakaza Okukodwa":
2. Yima ngaphakathi kwekamelo lakho lokulala ebumnyameni bese uzama ukuvula izinsimbi zamafasitela.
3. Amabha okuphepha avumelana nekhodi akhishwa ngokushesha asebenzisa insika yonyawo oluhlehliwe yangaphakathi noma isileva se-latch sesandla esivikelwe esigxunyekwe odongeni olungaphakathi eduze kohlaka lwewindi (evikelwe ipuleti lensimbi eliqinile elingaphandle ukuze umgqekezi angakwazi ukufinyelela emigoqweni esuka emgwaqeni ukuze akhube iphini).
4. Ukucindezela i-pedali yonyawo lwangaphakathi noma ukudonsa i-lever yangaphakathi kufanele kuvule i-grille yensimbi yangaphandle khona manjalo ukuze ivuleke ivuleke kakhulu kumahinji angaphandle asindayo njengomnyango.
5. Ukulungiswa Okuthathu Okungekho emthethweni Okudinga Ukususwa Ngokushesha:
6. Amagrile Akhiyiwe noma Akhiywe Okhiye: Ngisho noma umnikazi wendawo elenga ukhiye esipikilini eduze kwefasitela, okhiye abasebenza ngokhiye kumafasitela ekamelo lokulala akukho emthethweni ngaphansi kwekhodi yomlilo, ngoba entuthuni enobuthi emnyama bhuqe ngo-3:00 AM, abaqashi bawisa ukhiye noma abakwazi ukubona imbobo kakhiye.
7. Amabha Alungisiwe / Avikelwe Ngamatshe: Amabha abhawulwe ngqo esitini sangaphandle noma i-stucco engenawo amahinji futhi kungenandlela yokukhishwa yangaphakathi (ngaphandle uma igumbi lokulala linomnyango wesibili, umnyango wangaphandle ongavimbeki nhlobo noma iwindi lokuphuma).
8. Amayunithi e-Window Air Conditioner Abhoyiwe Phezu Kwefasitela Lokubalekela Umlilo Okuwukuphela kwalo: Emadolobheni anamavulanda wensimbi angaphandle abalekela umlilo (such as New York City, Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco), ukuvala iwindi elisindayo iyunithi ye-A/C efasiteleni okuwukuphela kwalo eliholela endaweni yokubaleka ngaphandle komlilo kuwukwephulwa kwekhodi yomlilo ngoba ingane, umuntu omdala omdala, noma umuntu olimele akakwazi ukusunduza 35-kilogram (75-pound) I-air conditioner ngaphandle kohlaka ukuze ufinyelele iledi yokubalekela umlilo.
9. Ungawahlola Kanjani Amabha Akho Akhishwa Ngokushesha Njalo Ngemva Kwezinyanga Eziyisi-6 (Ngaphandle Kokukhiyeleka Ngaphandle):
10. Abanikazi bezindlu nabapendi bangaphandle bavame ukupenda phezu kwamahinji angaphandle amabha okuvikela, abanamathisele ngopende omisiwe we-latex noma kawoyela, noma ukugqwala kumisa iphinikhodi.
11. Kabili ngonyaka (uma uhlola ama-alamu akho entuthu), vula iwindi legumbi lakho lokulala, cindezela i-latch yangaphakathi ekhishwa ngokushesha, futhi unyakazise igrile yensimbi yokuvikeleka ivuleke futhi ivaleke, ugcobe izikhonkwane zehinge nebhawodi le-latch nge-silicone noma isifutho se-PTFE.

2. Isitezi esingaphansi ("I-Garden Apartment") kanye Nezitebhisi Zokubalekela Eziphansi¶

• Izindlu ezingaphansi / ze-English-Basement: Qinisekisa ukuthi iwindi lekamelo lokulala livuleka libe iwindi lokuphuma elithobela ikhodi kahle (at least 0.84 square meters / 9 square feet of horizontal area, with a permanent attached ladder if the window well is deeper than 1.12 meters / 44 inches) nokuthi ipulasitiki yangaphandle noma i-grate yensimbi evale iwindi kahle ingaphakanyiswa iphakanyiswe kalula kusuka ngaphakathi (futhi ayilokothi ivinjwe imoto epakiwe yomnikazi wendawo yakho, izilahlisi zikadoti, noma ifenisha yevulandi).
• Ukuqashwa Kwendaba Yesibili neyesithathu (Single-Family Homes, Duplexes, and Walk-Ups): Uma uqasha isitezi sesibili noma sesithathu sesakhiwo esinezitezi zokhuni zangaphakathi (no enclosed concrete fire stairwell and no exterior metal fire escape), gcina UL-Listed 2-Story (4.0-meter / 13-foot) noma Indaba ezi-3 (7.6-meter / 25-foot) I-Portable Folding Escape Ladder enezingqimba ezibanzi zokunqanda ukushelela kanye nokuma kodonga ngaphakathi kwetote elinelebuli ngaphansi kwefasitela lekamelo lokulala. Kala ubukhulu bewindi lakho eliqashisayo (15 to 33 cm / 6 to 13 inches) ngaphambi kokuthenga ukuze amahhuku aphezulu esitebhisi alingane ngokuphephile phezu kwe-sill ngaphandle kokulimaza i-trim yomnikazi wendawo (bheka yethu uhlelo lokuphunyuka komlilo wasekhaya kanye nomhlahlandlela wesitebhisi sokuphunyuka).

Ingxenye 2: Ukuthola Amavavu Okuvala Okusetshenziswayo Njengomqashi: I-Single-Family House vs. I-Multi-Unit Apartment¶

Uma ipayipi liqhuma ngo-2:00 AM noma indawo ephumayo iqala ukugoba futhi ibheme, ukwazi maphi amavalvu ovunyelwe ukuzivala wena ** uma kuqhathaniswa nokuthi yimaphi ama-valve alawula lonke ifulethi konga izinkulungwane zamadola emonakalweni wamanzi futhi kuvimbele amaphutha ezinsiza ayingozi.

Ngaphansi kombuso Izenzo Zomnikazi Wendawo Yokuhlala Engafani kanye Nomqashi (URLTA) kanye nezivumelwano zokuqashisa ezijwayelekile ("Casualty / Fire or Other Destruction" isigatshana), lapho iyunithi eqashisayo icekeleke phansi kakhulu noma yenziwa indawo engahlalwa kuyo ngomlilo noma inhlekelele yemvelo (engabangelwa isenzo samabomu somqashisi):
   • Isaphulelo Sokuqasha Ngokushesha: Isibopho sakho esingokomthetho sokukhokha indawo yokuhlala siyama (abates) kusukela ngosuku oluqondile iyunithi eqale ngalo ukungahlali muntu (futhi umnikazi wendawo ukukweleta imbuyiselo enesilinganiso esilinganiselwe yanoma iyiphi irenti ekhokhelwe kusengaphambili yezinsuku ezisele zenyanga).
   • Ilungelo Lokunqamula Ukuqashisa Ngaphandle Kwenhlawulo: Kungaba umqashi noma umnikazi wendawo (kuye ngezikhathi zezaziso zezwe, ngokuvamile 5 to 14 days isaziso esibhaliwe) singasinqamula isivumelwano sokuqashisa ngokuphelele ngaphandle kwezimali zokuqeda ngaphambi kwesikhathi uma ukulungisa kungeke kuqedwe ngokushesha.
   • Imbuyiselo engu-100% Yediphozithi Yakho Yokuphepha: Ngenxa yokuthi umlilo wengozi, isiphepho, noma ukulimala kwamapayipi akukona** ukuguga kwesiqashi, umnikazi wendawo kufanele abuyisele amaphesenti angu-100 ediphozithi yakho yesibambiso phakathi nomnqamulajuqu osemthethweni (typically 14 to 30 days).
5. Thumela Isaziso Esibhaliwe Esisemthethweni (I-imeyili + Imeyili Eqinisekisiwe) Nge-Fire Marshal / Umbiko We-Red-Tag:
6. Ungalokothi uthembele engxoxweni yomlomo nomphathi wendawo. Thumela i-imeyili yosuku kanye ne-USPS Certified Letter ecaphuna I-Casualty Clause yakho yokuqashisa futhi unamathisele Umbiko Wesigameko Somnyango Wezomlilo noma Umhloli Wezakhiwo Kamasipala "Red Tag / Unfit for Occupancy" Isaziso, esidinga: (a) ukumiswa ngokushesha kwenkokhelo yerenti, (b) ukubuyiselwa kwemali okulinganiselwe kwezinsuku ezingasetshenziswanga zenyanga yamanje, kanye © nokubuyiselwa okuphelele kwediphozi yakho yesibambiso ekhelini lakho elisha lokudlulisela phambili.
7. Ungalokothi Uphinde Ufake Ifulethi Elilahliwe Noma Elilinyazwe Intuthu Wedwa Ukuze Ubuyise Impahla:
8. Linda kuze kube i-Fire Marshal kanye noMhloli Wezakhiwo Kamasipala basusa isakhiwo, bese bexhumanisa ukugada okugadwayo kokubuyisa (wearing an N95/P100 respirator, nitrile gloves, and hard-soled boots). Bhala phansi yonke into eyonakele ngezithombe ngaphambi kokuba ithimba elidiliza umninindlu lilahle okuqukethwe endaweni yokulahla udoti.

Izinombolo zezimo eziphuthumayo zesifunda kanye nezinqubomgomo ze-ejensi¶

Amakhodi okuphepha ezempilo abaqashile, ukuphoqelelwa kokubalekela umlilo, nosizo lokuqasha ezinhlekeleleni kusebenza ngabacimi bomlilo bakamasipala kanye nezikhungo zikazwelonke zezinhlekelele:

Imibuzo evame ukubuzwa¶

Ingabe umshwalense womnikazi wendawo ukhava ifenisha yami, izingubo zokugqoka, noma igumbi lehhotela uma kuqhuma ipayipi odongeni noma umlilo kagesi uvutha ephasishi?¶

Cha. Umshwalense wezakhiwo zomnikazi wendawo ufaka **isakhiwo sebhilidi esibonakalayo kuphela** (`walls, roof, floors, and plumbing pipes`), akukaze kube yimpahla yomuntu oqashile noma izindleko zehhotela zesikhashana, ngisho nalapho umlilo noma ukuqhuma kwepayipi kube iphutha lesakhiwo. Uziphathela owakho **`$12 to $15/month` `HO-4` Inqubomgomo Yomshwalense Wabaqashi** iqinisekisa ngokushesha **Ikhava C (`Personal Property Replacement Cost`)** kanye ne-*Ikhava D (`Loss of Use / Hotel & Living Expenses`)** izinkokhelo zingakapheli izinsuku, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubani obangele umlilo noma ukuvuza.

Ngazi kanjani ukuthi izinsimbi zokuphepha efasiteleni legumbi lami lokulala zisemthethweni futhi ziphephile?¶

Ngaphansi kwe-**International Fire Code (`IFC Section 1031`)** kanye ne-**NFPA 101 Life Safety Code**, iwindi ngalinye lekamelo lokulala elidingekayo ukuze kuphunywe futhi kutakulwe esimweni esiphuthumayo kufanele livuleke ngokuphelele ngaphakathi **ngaphandle kokusebenzisa ukhiye, ithuluzi, inhlanganisela, noma ulwazi olukhethekile**. Uma iwindi lekamelo lakho lokulala linemigoqo yensimbi yokuvikela, kufanele kube **isileva sesandla sangaphakathi noma i-foot-pedal-release fast latch** ngaphakathi kwekamelo lokulala eshwiba imigoqo yangaphandle evuleke ngokuphelele ngokunyakaza okukodwa. Uma izinsimbi ziboshelwe esitini noma zikhiywe ngengidi noma i-deadbolt enokhiye, yazisa umninikhaya wakho ngokubhala futhi ushayele indawo yangakini **I-Fire Marshal / Code Enforcement** ukuze ihlolwe ngokushesha.

Ingabe "Ukulahlekelwa Kokusetshenziswa" (Izindleko Zokuphila Ezengeziwe / I-ALE) empeleni kuyikhokhelani kumshwalense womqashi?¶

**Ikhava D (`Loss of Use / Additional Living Expenses`)** ikugcina uvalelwe lapho usengozini ehlanganisiwe (`fire, smoke, windstorm, burst pipe, or a mandatory evacuation order due to fire in an adjacent unit`) yenza indlu yakho ingahlali. Ibuyisela **ukwenyuka kwezindleko zakho zokuhlala** ngenkathi ususiwe: igumbi lakho lehhotela noma umehluko wempahla yesikhashana yokuqashisa, ukudla okungeziwe kwendawo yokudlela (`when your hotel room has no kitchen`), izindleko zelondolo, izindleko zendlu yokuhlala yezilwane ezifuywayo, ukuqasha indawo yokugcina ifenisha, kanye nebanga elingeziwe lokuya emsebenzini.

Ingabe izibonelelo zenhlekelele ze-FEMA zisebenza kubaqashi bezindlu nabaqasha izindlu, noma kubanikazi bezindlu kuphela?¶

I-FEMA's **Uhlelo Lomuntu Ngamunye Nolwasekhaya (`IHP`)** ihlanganisa ngokucacile **abaqashi** ezindaweni zezinhlekelele ezimenyezelwe ngumongameli (`DisasterAssistance.gov` noma `1-800-621-3362`). Abaqashisi abafanelekayo bangathola **Izibonelelo Zokuqashisa Eziqashisayo ze-FEMA** (ngemali yokuqasha yesikhashana nediphozi yokuvikeleka), **Izibonelelo Zezakhiwo Zomuntu Ze-FEMA** (ukuthatha indawo yefenisha edingekile ebhidlikile, imibhede, izingubo zikagesi, namakhompyutha omsebenzi/esikole), **Usizo Lwe-FEMA Lokufuduka** (ukuhlala ehhotela ngokushesha), kanye **. Ukushintshwa Kwemali Yesibonelelo Sikahulumeni*

Uma amanzi etheleka ophahleni lwendlu yami kusukela kuyunithi yomakhelwane osezingeni eliphezulu, iyiphi ivalvu okufanele ngiyivale?¶

Okokuqala, yiya efulethini lakho **in-unit yesiphakeli sikagesi esingaphansi kwephaneli** bese uvala **CIMA** ama-circuit breaker amalambu osilingi kanye nezindawo zokukhipha udonga egumbini elimanzi ukuze amanzi agcwalise izinto ezikhanyayo angabangeli umlilo kagesi noma ingozi yokushaqeka. Okwesibili, khumbula ukuthi ukuvala *amavalvu angaphansi kukasinki* efulethini lakho* noma iyunithi yamanzi ngeke** kumise amanzi aphuma emapayipini omakhelwane asezingeni eliphezulu: ngqongqotha emnyango womakhelwane osezingeni eliphezulu ngokushesha ukuze uvale ivalvu yabo, shayela ulayini wokulungisa izimo eziphuthumayo womnikazi wendawo yakho, futhi uma amanzi ephuma ezitezi eziningi, shayela **Umnyango Wezomlilo**.
