PLUMBING HINTS

Summer Effects

The summer season has mixed effects on the Rockaway real estate market. On the one hand, we are a beachfront community and the draw of the summer activities does bring people here for: beaches, swimming, cycling, running, surfing, organized teams for kids and adults (although the pandemic may crimp some of these this year; thankfully the “end” is in sight). On the other hand, some sellers are reluctant to sell during the summer because they enjoy the aforementioned activities and don’t want to give them up so fast!

Some people leave their Rockaway homes during the winter season for vacations. It makes sense to be aware of the possibility of burst pipes or hoses, especially if the incident occurs while away from home. Here are some preventative strategies:

• Appliances: Inspect the refrigerator and washing machine lines for leaks, rust, or damage. Shut off the water supply to the appliances. However, DON’T shut off the power to your refrigerator or your food will spoil.

It can be harder to sell real estate during the summer due to vacations by buyers and sellers alike. Summer activities can also occupy people instead of allowing them to focus on the home sale process.

• Valves: Shut off valves at sinks, toilets, tubs and showers. Cut off the main water supply valve for your home.

• Check your boiler. Most boilers have an expected life of 20-30 years nowadays. However, this doesn’t mean that the boiler is immune to some wear and tear damage. A damaged boiler can create a flood in your home.

The spring season has been generally good for our real estate market. There has been action across the board in all price categories with an emphasis on the range below $1 million (approx). Prices have firmed up within the framework of recent comparable sales and in some cases are creeping higher. Inventory levels remain very low.

• Have a friend check your house while you are away.

June 22 ies in Manhattan. The first stoplight didn’t appear until 1922. Homes only began to get electricity 30 years before. The changes she saw in her lifetime were incredible. She left behind a beautiful family and has joined a beautiful family on the other side. Godspeed Mrs. Flanagan.

• Water heaters: Turn off the power to your water heater in order to prevent fires which could occur once the water supply has been shut off. Check for puddles, rust and unusual noise. If you notice any of these signs, then call your plumber.

Of course, you can have a plumber check your home before you leave. It’s a good idea to have a plumber check out your house periodically anyway. My go-to plumber is Adam Magnicarri of Solo Plumbing: 917-589-3363. Call me. Love, Robin.
