A summer cottage by the lake or a cabin in the mountains can be a wonderful respite from the hectic pace of life. But if you forget to properly winterize your retreat you could be in for some unpleasant surprises the next time you arrive there.
Winterizing a vacation or seasonal property is an important step in protecting the value of your real estate assets. Here are a couple of reminders about how to do that.
- Water Pipes
Make sure your water lines are turned off. Drain the lines if possible, and wrap the pipes in sufficient insulation to protect them if the temperature drops to dangerous levels. Having extra pipe insulation on hand will ensure that you have enough when needed.
- Weather Sealing
Make sure all doors and windows are securely closed, and seal them at the perimeter with weather seal strips, caulking compounds, or similar products. All it takes is a little cold air coming inside to drop the interior temperature to dangerous levels for your internal pipes and fixtures. If they have not been thoroughly drained of water, they could easily burst.
