We Buy Houses Cash - Wekiwa Springs FL: Buyers tend to judge a house by its cover. It acts as an indication of how much a homeowner cared for the little details of home ownership. Even if the bones are solid, the cosmetics need to be cleaned up if they aren’t already. Put in a new furnace and plumbing at a great cost and the buyer may be impressed. If the bathroom fixtures are crusted over with hard water stains, however, whatever you did to the house that cost thousands will be overlooked.

Keep the Cost of Plumbing Repairs to MinimumThe actual cost of a new faucet set can be under $20 if you buy at a big box discount store, homeowner’s supply, or do-it-yourself warehouse. Shiny new faucets will make a better impression than crusty expensive ones. Buyers tend to turn on the water so make sure nothing leaks and can be smoothly and easily turned on.

Use soft, non-scratching sink scrub or foam to clean off all of the old scale and grime that tends to accumulate around the bottom of sinks and faucet handles. If the water is particularly hard you can use a lime dissolver, but be careful about breathing it. It’s strong enough to dissolve minerals, so you can be sure it will harm your skin and lungs so use adequate ventilation and wear gloves according to the instructions on the product.Get into the cracks around the toilet and tub to remove old dirt and clean up the grout and caulk. You can get a new tube of caulk for about $2 with a readymade tip.

You won’t need any fancy equipment or tools but you can give the plumbing in the house a clean new look for a little money and some effort.Clean out the drains in the bathtub, shower, and sinks to remove hair and debris that builds up over time. When the buyers turn on the faucets the water should flow freely and go right down the drains with pausing.
