he travel season is coming soon.
Avoid any damage to the house during travel, which leads to a high insurance price.
There are several tips and safety and security measures that every homeowner must follow:
First: It is very important to close the water valves from the house before traveling to avoid any filtration or the explosion of the pipe due to severe water pressure or cold, and this is the last step before closing the house for travel.
Also, close the gas valve if there is a gas service provided in your house for safety and disconnect the electricity from the water heater from the switchboard if the heater is electric to avoid burning its coils due to evaporating part of the water from the heater, which leads to the heater working in vain
Also, close the water valve from the bidets, if any, as many of the bidets lead to problems, especially with the high water pressure during travel.
Second: Global Warming
Do not turn off the air conditioner and leave it turned off, because during the summer, what is called Global Warming has occurred, as the temperature of the house rises, which leads to damage to paints, floors, mattresses, and walls.
As for the winter season, the heating system must be turned on while you are traveling, because the low temperature affects the quality of the house and may lead to the freezing of water in the pipes and their explosion if the valves are not closed.
Anyway, try to keep the house temperature constant. This is to save energy while you travel.
Third: Make sure that all windows are closed tightly and the lock is closed to prevent heat leakage and to protect your home from burglary and theft, and close all curtains tightly to prevent leakage of heat.
Fourth: Before traveling, filter the water and ice in the refrigerator, and get rid of anything in the refrigerator or any food stock that is perishable or expired to avoid the presence of any unpleasant odors in the house due to food corruption, especially if the power is cut off due to any wind or someone malfunction in the refrigerator.
Since the refrigerator has become empty, you can separate it to save any energy consumption.
Fifth: For safety, it is preferable to have cameras, anti-theft security systems, and smart home systems to alert them of what is going on in the house and coordinate with the closest friend to the house to act if you feel anything strange or at least coordinate with a trusted friend to follow up on the house and take care of it during your travels, take care of your valuables and your mail, and make one of your neighbors park his car in front of the house to tell that someone is living in the house.
