5 Ways To Protect Your Omaha, NE Home From Freezing Temperatures

by Nancy Heim-berg

5 Ways To Protect Your Omaha, NE Home From Freezing Temperatures With freezing temperatures sweeping the country, it is important to know how to protect your home against the elements and cold weather. Below we have listed five things you can do to ensure your home is safe during these chilly times. Let’s dive in: 

-Guard your water pipes by disconnecting garden hoses, shutting off the water to the outdoor faucets and draining the lines. Also, ensure your indoor plumbing pipes are safe by making sure the wall insulation is in good repair and up to the recommended standards.

-Make sure your gutters are clean to avoid ice from forming on the roof of your home. Especially if you know temperatures are going to drop significantly, take some time to clean them out. Also, you may want to look into gutter screens which can help to prevent leaves from clogging the gutters. 

-Take inventory of the holes and cracks in your home and spend time sealing them up. Even the smallest holes can let the freezing air in or let the warm indoor air out. Consider making this a part of your annual home maintenance routine. 

-Ensure your home is properly insulated to increase indoor comfort, enjoy evenly distributed warmth and energy savings. Do this by making sure places such as attics, unheated garages and exterior walls are properly protected and insulated. 

-Wrapping exposed pipes is a great way to help ensure that pipes don’t freeze and burst! You can look into using insulation sleeves on pipes that go through unheated areas such as crawl spaces and attics.

The In’s And Outs Of Home Inspections

by Nancy Heim-berg

The In’s And Outs Of Home InspectionsWhether you are the buyer or seller in a real estate transaction, the home inspection is a very important part of the process. While the inspection is designed to protect the buyer of the sale and alert them of damage to the home, a poor result from the inspection can open the door to renegotiation. In today’s blog post we are going to be discussing what a home inspection is and all the ins and outs of the process. Let’s dive in:

A home inspection is a ‘non-invasive’ examination of the property and a crucial part of the home buying process. A licensed home inspector will come to the property and review the home for structural, mechanical and/or electrical defects. The process is designed to give the buyer a more comprehensive overview of the house they are purchasing and ensure there are minimal surprises when they move in. 

The home inspection process is not required by law, but it is definitely worth the money. It acts as a protection of the investment the buyer is making, while also giving them peace of mind that the integrity and condition of the home is in good repair. The inspection will typically take place a short time after the offer is accepted by the seller.

During the process, the inspector of the home will look for any issues having to do with the home’s electrical system, heating/cooling system, plumbing, windows, doors, foundation, roof and more. If you are the seller and are looking to prepare for a home inspection, there are a few things you can do. First, you need to ensure that all your paperwork is in order and begin addressing repairs that you know will be red flags to the inspector and need attention right away. Second, about a week before the inspection is scheduled, begin removing any clutter or items that could interfere with the inspection. Lastly, ensure your home is clean and everyone is out of your home on the day of the inspection.
