PROPERTY DAMAGE

Bad things happen when utilities are off: 

• FREEZER DEFROST: Melting ice leaks onto the floor. This can ruin hardwood and Pergo in just a few hours. The repairs can cost thousands.

• FREEZING PIPES: Without heat in the winter, pipes will freeze and burst. This can flood the home and ruin cabinets, flooring, etc. Repairs can be $10k to $30k. We've seen it happen. 

• HUMIDITY: The AC is a dehumidifier in the summer. Without the AC, humidity will increase and mold will start growing in just a few days. This is called a "Humidity Bloom" which is the sudden growth of mold within a living space due to the elevation of indoor relative humidity at or above 60 percent relative humidity for a period of time greater than 72 hours.
