Winterize Your Vacant Indianapolis Home for Sale or Rent

Indianapolis homes for sale and rent are continuing to see activity. This is great news.
But if your Indianapolis home for sale or rent is going to be vacant over the winter, it is time to winterize.

Winterization will help prevent costly water damage and repair. Broken pipes may go undetected until Spring when you or the new homeowner turn on the water to an outside spicket or an indoor fixture that froze and burst.

Instead of the trickle of a faucet, you may have your own version of Old Faithful. Where there is water there may be mold. The repairs needed after water has been in your rental

property or home for sale may wipe out your rental income for the year and greatly reduce your equity when you sell.

Mike Mueller, President of Nova Home Inspections has seen water damage first hand during home inspections. This prompted him to offer a Winterization service.

Mike first drains the water heater, and toilet bowls and tanks, and drains. He then uses an air compressor to blow out the lines. He also drains water at the meter when possible, (not all meters are accessible) to leave no water between the house and street. He then uses antifreeze in the toilet tanks and bowls and drains. In the spring he also offers to "de"winterize homes using his service.

If you do have a water problem, make sure it is professionally taken care of immediately. Replace carpet, padding, drywall, and any other damage. A professional will spray for mold to prevent further damage that can go unseen in your walls, but can wick all the way up to your attic.

Protect your real estate investment. Whether your Indianapolis area home is for sale, your home is for rent, or your home is a part time residence. We live in a cold weather climate that requires you to be proactive. Winterize and your home home in Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville, Noblesville or other fine community and it will be ready to enjoy next Spring!
