Imagine closing your property for the winter, only to find out that while you were away, the regulator on the propane tank failed. This malfunction led to the tank running dry, resulting in the interior of your lake home becoming freezing cold. Consequently, the sudden drop in temperature caused the pipes to freeze and burst from the pressure, leading to a disastrous situation. To prevent such occurrences and ensure the safety of your lake home, DCL HomeWorks offers a proactive property check program. This service is a crucial component of our property management strategy, designed to identify and address any potential issues before they escalate into disasters.

Our property check program not only enhances the safety of your lake home but also offers peace of mind. By tackling property management issues proactively, we help save you money and avoid unnecessary headaches. Trust DCL HomeWorks to keep your property secure and well-maintained, no matter the season. To schedule your first property check, please contact us. 

During a DCL HomeWorks property check, we'll do the following:

• Check propane tank levels
• Ensure the home's interior temperature is correct
• Use a drone to ensure no damage has occurred to the roof 
• Complete a thorough walkaround of the interior and exterior of the property and home

Make sure water is turned off (if requested by homeowner) and also ensure no damage has occurred inside or out

After a DCL HomeWorks property check, you'll get the following:

• Photos of your home's interior/exterior
• A property condition report 
• Any aerial photos taken during the property check
• Any videos of damage or unusual findings

Property Check Frequency and cost:

DCL HomeWorks offers property checks both on an as needed basis and regular schedule. Some homeowners opt for weekly property checks during certain times of the year, while others prefer monthly. Additionally, some homeowners request property checks when they need one. We recommend monthly property checks in order to ensure your property is monitored, especially if it's not occupied. 

Property check pricing varies based on frequency, property location, and individual requests. However, DCL HomeWorks offers a discount for clients who pay for several property checks up-front, and also offers a 10% discount to clients who refer friends to HomeWorks for property checks. Property checks are an affordable and proactive way to ensure your lake property is kept in the best condition possible.
