HUD & Bank Preservation Standards
Seasonal shutdown and winterization for vacant homes, rental properties, and bank-owned assets — done to HUD and bank preservation standards.
Water system winterization: main shutoff, drain-down, and pipe blow-out
Outdoor hose bib and irrigation shutoff
Heating system inspection and thermostat setting for vacant properties
Gutter cleaning before freeze season
Full vacant property winterization packages for banks and property managers
A burst pipe in a vacant property can cause $20,000–$50,000 in water damage before anyone notices. Proper winterization costs a fraction of that — and for bank-owned or estate properties, it protects the asset value that matters to the sale.
