You’re not alone; millions of Canadians and Americans make the same seasonal migration
But while you’re basking in the sun, what’s happening to your vacant home in freezing conditions? You’ve locked up and headed south, but a host of winter-specific issues could still affect your property, from frozen pipes to potential furnace malfunctions.
This is where we come in.
Your home isn’t just any home—it’s a unique property that demands individualized care. That’s why we offer customized Home Check Services tailored to your specific needs. We understand that each residence is different, with distinct fixtures, systems, and requirements. Our winterizing experts conduct a comprehensive analysis to understand the nuances of your property, allowing us to develop a winterizing plan that’s perfect for you.
Regular property walkthroughs aren’t merely a good idea—they’re often mandatory to maintain insurance coverage. During these inspections, we meticulously examine every aspect of your home. From draining bathrooms and kitchen fixtures to ensuring the furnace or boiler is functioning optimally, we’ve got it covered. Our seasoned experts can spot issues long before they escalate into emergencies, thereby saving you costly repairs and considerable anxiety.
In the rare case that an emergency does occur, you can rest easy knowing we have a network of trusted professionals at our fingertips. Whether you need a plumber to deal with a burst pipe or an electrician to handle an electrical fault, we act as your local liaison. Coordinating with these experts, we ensure that your home is restored to its best condition as swiftly as possible.
Nothing screams “unoccupied home” louder than an uncleared, snow-covered driveway. It’s not just an invitation to burglars but also a violation of local regulations in many areas. As part of our comprehensive Home Check Services, we also offer snow removal. Driveways, walkways, and steps—we ensure they’re all clear, reducing risks and ensuring you return to a welcoming home.
We believe quality service should not break the bank. Our pricing plans are as flexible as our service offerings. Whether you have a cozy two-bedroom house or a sprawling estate, we design a pricing structure that suits your budget and meets your home’s specific needs.
For many snowbirds, their winter homes are not just seasonal abodes but cherished assets. Thus, they often require year-round maintenance and not just winter-specific care. We offer comprehensive packages that extend beyond the winter months, ensuring your home remains in pristine condition throughout the year. You can opt for seasonal packages focused solely on winterizing, or choose a year-round plan that offers continuous protection.
Meeting the requirements set forth by your insurance provider is often a crucial consideration. Many insurance companies stipulate regular property check-ins during prolonged absences. Our services are structured to not only meet but exceed these insurance requirements. Additionally, we provide all necessary documentation, including checklists and photographs, proving that your property has been well-maintained during your absence.
Security concerns often accompany extended absences. Our home check services incorporate a range of security measures designed to safeguard your property. Apart from general inspections, we also verify that all security systems are operational and report any signs of trespass or property damage.
It’s one thing to keep your home warm while you’re away; it’s another to do it efficiently. As part of our walkthroughs, we also check your heating systems for energy efficiency. Where possible, we’ll adjust settings to save energy without compromising on the overall health of your home. This not only saves you money but also makes your winterized home more environmentally friendly.
In today’s digital age, you shouldn’t have to wait to find out the status of your home. As part of our tailored services, we offer online updates accessible through a secure portal. Real-time notifications, maintenance summaries, and photographic evidence are all available at your fingertips, providing the ultimate peace of mind.
We understand the challenges and stress associated with planning for seasonal moves. To make your life easier, we offer future planning and pre-booking services. With our help, you can schedule next year’s winterizing activities well in advance, ensuring that you’re not left scrambling at the last minute to secure the services you need.
Don’t just take our word for it; hear from satisfied snowbirds who have used our Home Check Services. Our reputation for reliability, thoroughness, and individualized care has earned us the trust of homeowners across the Ottawa and the valley.
