Confirm Service Providers: Contact your gas, electric, water, garbage, sewer, telephone, cable, and internet providers well in advance to ensure smooth transitions and avoid service interruptions or unnecessary charges. Keep track of disconnect and connection dates for better organization.
Change Locks: For added security, consider changing the locks on your new home. While the previous owners may be trustworthy, it’s prudent to safeguard against any unknown key holders. You can either change the locks yourself or rely on Experts In Your Home for professional assistance and safety inspections.
Identify Utilities: Locate the circuit breaker box and main water valve in your new home to prepare for any potential emergencies. Ensure that the circuit breaker box is properly labeled for easy identification of switches. If not, seek assistance from Experts In Your Home to address any labeling issues or locate the water valve if needed.
Inspect Plumbing: Before moving in, thoroughly check for leaks around faucets, sinks, showers, tubs, and toilets. Address any signs of moisture or discoloration promptly to prevent potential damage. Contact Experts In Your Home for professional plumbing assistance if leaks are detected.
Schedule Professional Cleaning: Arrange for a professional cleaning service to thoroughly clean your new home before moving in. Even if it appeared clean during the walk-through, an empty space may reveal hidden dirt and debris. Experts In Your Home offers comprehensive cleaning services, including carpet cleaning, to ensure a fresh start in your new home.
