Re: Winterized Homes
I just did one in September that had been winterized and was De-winterized supposedly. Boiler had water around its base and the service switch was in off position. No way was I turning service switch to on position. How do I know they did not winterize the property properly and water froze in boiler and now there is a leak. As soon as I start the boiler they would say I broke it. Told client to have Oil Company out to have it serviced before closing. Realtor says well it is being sold as is. Not my problem. I told them before inspection all utilities needed to be on. Tankless hot water also could not check hot water either among other things. Basically a real pain in the ass.
