Time To Get Out the Heavy Blankets
At least in Indiana. Even in warmer climates the season we are headed into soon is called winter. In moderate to cool climates winter can cause a lot of damage if a heavy blanket is not available to keep people, and possessions, warm.
If your rental property is currently vacant, it is in your best interests to have it winterized. Even if it is on the market to be leased! We are starting to schedule winterizations even though the coolest evenings right now are above freezing. It won't be long, and nighttime will be freezing time.
If we are responsible for management of your vacant property, you don't have to do a thing. We will get it winterized. We do this to protect and preserve your property. In the spring, or at rental, we will de-winterize also.
The need for winterization will continue through March. Even if it seems winter is over. Just one night with a hard freeze can cost thousands of dollars in repairs. Peanuts compared to the cost of winterization.
Winterization is a cost of owning a rental property in many climates. It should be a part of your budgeting if it is not already. Winterization prices vary based on the number of plumbing fixtures involved but starts at $150. The same issue applies with de-winterization in the spring but those start at $100.
This week we are offering some information on winterizations. We hope you find it informative.
Stay Warm!
