This photo is a prime example of my problem solving skills! This is from the crawl space of one of the homes I had listed. The seller moved out before Christmas and the closing didn’t occur until the beginning of February. Since the home was vacant, I stopped by weekly to check on it. Why? Because Wisconsin winter weather is extreme and constantly changes. Basically, that means anything can and will happen.
Temperatures can fluctuate from below zero to 30 degrees in a matter of days. On a warm day I discovered a water leak, water spraying all over the crawl space where the main water shut off valve is. At 5’3″ tall I had to do a hunched over duck waddle in the pouring “rain” to reach it. Good thing I typically wear boots in winter!
I have a great working relationship with a local plumber, he was out the following day to make repairs. I brought a fan from home to help dry things out and turned up the heat to help prevent any further plumbing problems. Doing all of these things saved the seller from a 3 hour trip to handle it himself. The lesson here, I’m a full service agent ready to get dirty in order to take care of your property.
