How To Winterize Your Bulgaria Property

This is known as "winterizing" your holiday home

, and it will protect your Bulgaria property from damage over the winter.

It is a good idea to winterize your Bulgaria property, even if you are only going to leave it vacant for a few weeks. The winters can be cold in Bulgaria and the weather can change when you do not expect it. Making sure that your home is sealed up well will help you avoid any nasty surprises and costly repairs when you return to it later.

Here are some tips for winterizing a Bulgaria property:

- Clean all of the gutters so that rain will drain property off the roof and away from the house. This prevents roof leaks in a period of a lot of heavy rain.

- Cut down tree limbs and branches that hang above your house, as they can be weighed down with snow and break or can blow down in the wind.

- It is a good idea to turn off the water if you are going to be away for a while. In the colder areas of Bulgaria this is important because your pipes might freeze in the winter. However, even when it is warm in Bulgaria you should still do this while you are gone because if you have a leaky faucet or a burst pipe, the flood would cause a lot of damage if it was not discovered for a few weeks.

- If you have a swimming pool at your Bulgaria property, make sure that it is drained and closed properly.

- If you have any outdoor furniture such as a patio set or a BBQ, make sure that you move it indoors to protect it from theft as well as the weather.

- Unplug all appliances so that they are not a fire risk and are not using up electricity.

- If there is anyone who lives near your Bulgaria property, try to arrange for them to check on your holiday home while you are not there just to make sure that it is secure and safe.

Leave them your phone number and email so that they can inform you if there is something wrong.

- If your Bulgaria property has a chimney, place a cap or a screen on the top to keep out rodents and birds.

- If you have a satellite dish, disconnect it and store it inside.

- Replace any cracked windows or doors with faulty seals so that your home is 100% secure.

- Turn off the electrical power to the house at the main breaker. Also turn off the propane or natural gas to the home. If you are not sure how to do this get help from a professional.

Winterize your Bulgaria property and it will be safe and secure until you visit it again!
