Whether it is a 3-day vacation in the middle of winter or the cruise of a lifetime, there are a few things you need to make sure you do before you leave on your vacation.
- Make sure you have a trusted friend check in on your home every 48 to 72 hours. This check-in consists of them walking into your home, and checking each room. Make sure that all windows and doors are still shut and locked, and that there are no puddles of water anywhere.
- Have them turn on a different set of lights each time they check your home, this helps make your home look occupied. Another choice is Digital Timers from Home Depot which turn your lamps on and off at programmed times.
- Make sure that your mail is brought into your home this also helps make your home look occupied.
- If it snows while you are gone, make sure that someone shovels the snow or drives up and down your driveway a few times and walks up to the front door.
- As your friends are checking your home, have them keep a log of anything that may not look normal. If you ever have to make an insurance claim, this can be helpful.
Extended Leaves
If your vacation is going to be longer than a week you may want to think about the following items:
- Have someone move into your home while you are going to be gone.
- If that is not an option, then you should turn off your water and drain all your water pipes. There is nothing worse than coming home to freezing cold and busted water pipes.
- Still have a trusted friend come and check your home every 48 hours.
- Talk to your local insurance agents at Campbell & Haliburton about you being gone for an extended time. There may be different insurance coverages available for these situations.
