As the electricity ⚡️ comes back on, water 💦 begins flowing normally again, and outside temperatures 🌞 hit above freezing, we will all exhale into some normalcy in our homes. But before you exhale, it’s time to put on your own home inspector hat and pull out the notepad and phone. 🔎 This time is crucial for picture 📲 and note 📝 taking for insurance claims and more. As things thaw out and settle, sometimes the hidden issues arise. 🚨 Let's think about some home inspection tips (some you probably have not thought of) for after this unprecedented winter storm to get your home back up and running quickly. Four Home Inspection Tips You Never Thought Of After the Texas Winter StormHow To Inspect Your Home After The Texas Winter StormCheck your home like you are Sherlock trying to solve a crime. 🔎 Inspect rooms you rarely go into over the next few days (and month) often. Areas including: ✅closets ✅the flooring ✅the window sills and baseboards ✅and especially in rooms you aren't in often. Water damage 💦sometimes doesn’t show up immediately. So consistently inspect areas you rarely pay attention to. While offering Austin cleaning services, we clean many areas our clients rarely notice in detail as we do. We tend to always see the water damage in the window sills, or the mold building up in hidden areas after a rain storm. We are gearing up on high alert after this Texas winter storm, to be on the lookout for more than dust when our Austin home cleaning schedules open back up. Ice Machines and Bacteria 🦠With Austin and most surrounding areas having a city wide boil notice, even though you may not have used your ice, toss it. The freezer and cold temps do not kill bacteria. Some ice makers like the one shown in the photo, are consistently making new ice. Keep tossing the ice it makes until the Austin boil water notice (and surrounding counties) is lifted. |
