Preventing costly damage in a second home

Prevention vs repair: the numbers speak clearly

Prevention is always less expensive than repair. A regular check system costs a fraction of the damage it prevents. The most costly damage is silent and progressive: rising damp, corroding pipes, failing seals, infiltrating roofs.

The 5 most costly damages and how to prevent them

• ✓Structural mold: prevented with monthly humidity checks and scheduled ventilation
• ✓Roof infiltrations: prevented with regular visual inspection and gutter maintenance
• ✓Frost pipe bursts: prevented with proper winterization and minimum heating
• ✓Hidden water leaks: prevented with meter readings at closed taps
• ✓Electrical deterioration: prevented with periodic safety switch testing
