New Home Care Columbia MD

By Ora Scott


New home construction takes careful attention to detail, whether it's home care Columbia MD or someplace else. You'll want to pay attention to all the new stuff in the house, including appliances, and plumbing.

There's a sense of adventure when it's finally time to move into your new house, not only will your family need a period of settling in, but the house itself needs settling as well. While your contractor probably checked on your appliances and water lines, they really didn't get a chance to put them under a full load.

When your contractor finishes up your dwelling, they may have turned everything on, but probably not for more than a day or so. This means under full use, things may change. Make sure you're aware that plumbing and wiring may have problems you're not aware of until a full week or month down the road.

Check to make sure drains are functioning, faucets aren't causing leaks or condensation, that tub and tile caulking is functioning as it should and even make sure your toilets are working correctly. Many times leaks and condensation problems aren't noticed right away until the damage is done. If you pay attention you can catch problems and alert your contractor before major damage has been done.

Your refrigerator can cause special problems if the water lines for the ice maker and water door mechanisms leak and it only takes a small leak to ruin new floors, so be sure to check it out carefully.

Sewer lines can be another problem and it's usually hidden. So be conscientious when you put things down the drains and the toilet until your sure there won't be a blockage of some sort. New septic systems take a bit to run at full functionality so make sure you're encouraging proper bacterial growth.

New home care Columbia MD or wherever takes special attention to detail when you first move in, no matter where you live. Keep in touch with your contractor and let them know if you even suspect a problem. It doesn't take long for condensation or water to cause thousands of dollars in damage.
