When the cold arrives and second homes are left empty, many owners wonder if their property will stay in good condition until their return. Moisture, wind or rain can cause damage if certain precautions aren’t taken.
That’s why preparing your home for winter is essential to avoid surprises and keep it safe and well-maintained during the months it remains closed. At Ceigrup Torrent API, we know that peace of mind for homeowners is just as important as the comfort of their home. Here are a few practical tips to help you take care of your property, even from afar.
1. Check the exterior and the roof
Autumn and winter can put your home’s structure to the test. Start by inspecting roofs, gutters and downpipes to remove leaves, branches and debris that could block water flow. This will help prevent leaks and dampness. It’s also a good idea to check windows and doors to ensure proper insulation and keep out drafts or water.
2. Prevent humidity indoors
A closed house can quickly accumulate moisture and bad smells. Using dehumidifiers is a simple way to maintain a healthy environment. Before leaving, clean the floors, bathrooms and kitchen thoroughly, and leave cupboards and drawers slightly open for ventilation. Unplug appliances and empty the fridge to avoid odours or problems.
3. Inspect the installations
Before leaving, make sure there are no water leaks or faulty electrical connections. Turning off the main water and gas valves is a simple but very effective precaution. If you have an alarm or security system, make sure it’s working correctly and connected to a monitoring service.
4. Trust professionals to look after your home
At Ceigrup Torrent API, we offer maintenance and supervision services specially designed for homeowners who want to leave their property in good hands over the winter. From installation checks to cleaning and regular visits, we make sure your home stays in perfect condition until your return.
Good preparation not only prevents damage, it also gives you the peace of mind of knowing your home is safe all year round.
