Depending on the time of year, many vacant properties are winterized to protect the plumbing systems. In order to complete inspections required by the terms and conditions of the sale or purchase agreement, the property may need to be de-winterized and then re-winterized once the inspections are completed. Rea Inspection Services is knowledgeable in this area and can complete this process.
Our winterizing procedure includes turning off the main valve at the street, opening all faucets to drain the potable water lines and to eliminate vacuums in the system, blowing out the water lines with a compressor, draining the water heater and pouring anti-freeze in all the drains.
