Winter Protection

Our Winterization Service is a vital step in safeguarding unoccupied properties from the potential damages that harsh winter months can inflict. At SCC, we understand the importance of proper winterization to prevent issues related to heating, plumbing, and other essential systems. Our dedicated service teams are well-equipped to ensure that your property remains in top condition during the cold season.

To counteract the risks associated with freezing temperatures, our teams employ a thorough process. This includes draining the hot water tank and all water lines, effectively removing water from the system. We then force air through the plumbing to ensure complete water removal and conduct pressure tests to detect any potential leaks. Additionally, antifreeze is added to all sink drains and traps, and toilets are cleaned and treated with antifreeze in both bowls and tanks. We turn off electric, gas, and water utilities, except in cases where a sump pump is installed, in which case electrical service is maintained.

As part of our commitment to transparency and communication, we place notification stickers on all winterized components and systems, showing the date of service and our contact information. Moreover, our de-winterization services are triggered by changes in property status or seasonal weather conditions, ensuring that all systems are restored to their normal working order when needed. With SCC's Winterization Service, you can trust that your property will weather the winter months without issues, protecting your valuable asset from potential damage and costly repairs.
