4 Things You Must Do Before Moving Into a Bend Oregon Home

August 7, 2015 – 10:31 pm

Bend Oregon Home

You just purchased a Bend Oregon Home and are getting ready to move in but, before you move into your home there are 4 things you must do to insure the safety and security of your home.

#1 – Change the Locks on Your Home

This tip is important because making copies of keys to a home is easy to do over the years and although the previous owner of your Bend Oregon Home has said that they’ve given you all copies of keys it’s important to get new deadbolts for every door since this will insure that you are the only person who has keys to the home.

#2 – Check Your Home for Water Leaks

Yes, your home inspector should have checked you home for leaks but it never hurts to check for leaks yourself.

One of the best things you can do to see if your home has leaks is to check your water meter before and after a two hour period when no water is being used in your home because if your water usage goes up after two hours then you will know that your home has leaks.

#3 – Clean Out You Cabinets

Take the time to clean out the cabinets in your home because, this is a step that most sellers will forget to do.

Use non-toxic cleaner to clean your cabinets and replace contact paper if necessary since this will also insure that you have clean cabinet spaces to place your dishes and personal supplies.

#4 – Find the Circuit Breaker and Main Water Valve

Last of all, but most important you should find the circuit breaker and main water valve for your home because both are essential parts of your home and they may been to be used sometime in the near future.
