Winterization
Winterization
Safeguard can winterize vacant properties in accordance Client instructions and/or applicable Investor/Insurer guidelines. A winterization generally involves:
- draining of all plumbing and heating systems as required;
- using air pressure to clear the system of water;
- adding anti-freeze to all traps and fixtures;
- shutting off water supply to the property;
- disconnecting the water meter, removing it from the cradle and leaving it on the premises;
- disconnecting the feed pipe leading to the main water valve and plugging or capping it; and
- placing tags, labels, warning signs, and dates on all items winterized, including Safeguard's address and telephone number on all tags and labels.
Winterization Re-Check
Safeguard can inspect a winterization previously performed at a property to attempt to determine if it is still effective. Upon instruction, if Safeguard finds that the winterization is not in effect, we will winterize the property.
