@davidangelmorin what would you like to know? I would suggest you start by finding out which agents do the most REO (foreclose) business in your area and start marketing to them. Most of the times the agents are responsible for the clean outs.
Thank you very informative video. Having said that I will be leaving my property for a couple months, located in NW IN by lake MI. My plan is to winterize my home via an outside hose bib using an air compressor. I have a gas boiler, gas hot water heater, well pump, diamphram tank. I will drain as much water out of all mentioned then my plan is to hook up air compressor to outside bib, 30 psi to start, open up farthest faucet. Do you see any problem with my plan?
@al200507 Its not ideal because it is harder on a house to be vacant. If it is vacant a long time it could cause some minor issues. The big risk you run when your home is vacant is it is much more likely to be broken into or vandalized. That is why most home owners insurance policy's will drop your insurance if the house is vacant for more then 3 months.
@34ferret - Good question - Not much you just want to use enough to fill the p-trap. To get an idea look under your kitchen or bathroom sink. That pipe that looks like a P is the p-trap. You just want to make sure the water that is left in the P does not freeze.
First of all I don't blow out lines I add antifreeze to the ptraps but check out Amazon.com and search for winterize sprinkler system and the first items should be what you are looking for.
@marksrealestate I am going to be winterizing some foreclosures this week for a lady that manages bank owned homes. They require the plumbing lines be completely blown out. I'm familiar with plumbing and compressors etc. Any suggestions?
@pbghmike77 I don't blow out the lines but if I did I would use something like this to do it. Go to amazon and search for winterize sprinkler system the first item that comes back is a fitting that will help you blow out the lines. Be sure to keep an eye on your PSI because if you add to much you can bust the pipes. Do a search on the different kinds of pipes (copper, pex, galvanized, etc) and get an idea on the type of psi you should use. I hope that helps!
Thanks for the comment. We only winterize properties that we manage or have listed for sale. I am a licensed real estate broker and have been doing full time property management for over 6 years.

How much antifreeze do you put in each p-trap or drain? Great video!

Do you only winterize your own properties, or you winterize for banks?
