When you come home from vacation, you want to keep that relaxed feeling as long as possible. That's where we come in.
When you're away for more than a couple of days, here are a few tips to keep your home maintenance protective instead of reactive. This is based on over 21 years of caring for some of the finest properties in Manhattan:
π³οΈ Air & moisture: Raise the thermostat 7-10 degrees and hold humidity between 40-50% to protect wood and prevent mold.
π³οΈWater: Braided supply lines fail without warning. Replace them around year five, add leak sensors, and know your main shutoff.
π³οΈClogged drains: A clogged roof drain can change from a minor maintenance issue to an expensive problem fast. A roof inspection now can save tons of stress later.
