freeze damage: BEWARE OF UNHEATED HOMES!
- 02/11/09 05:00 AM
With the generous number of foreclosure homes and short sale homes on the real estate market today, they are often found without heat due to one or more disconnected utilities. This is a serious concern in the colder parts of the country. While everything may appear fine, freezing conditions may have caused major damage. Often a property will have notices posted that it has been winterized. However, I have seen many a home that was not properly winterized or winterized only after cold weather has set in. Plumbing and hot water heating systems are the number one concern that is affected (4 comments)
