Vacant winterization — Welcome Home Improvement LLC, Lafayette IN

We set vacant heat at 55°F. If someone turns it down after we leave, that is outside the visit.

Rush is +$75 when you need the slot sooner and we have one. That is not a 24-hour guarantee.

Yes. Quotes are free. Call, text, or send the form. Do not expect a “free visual inspection” line — the quote is the quote.

This page is the locked vacant product. Lived-in / occupied fall prep (hose bibs, heat checks, freeze prep) is quoted on the Lafayette winterization hub — not an invented flat here. Tell us what you need.

Greater Lafayette winters punish empty houses. A vacant single-family, duplex, or multi that sits dark through a cold snap is how you get a freeze-burst and a January insurance call. Winterize in September through November — after the last tenant, before the first hard freeze — so the unit is set on purpose instead of hoped-for. We set vacant heat at 55°F. If someone turns it down after we leave, that is outside the visit. Locked pricing: single-family $199, duplex $175, multi $149 per unit. Rush is +$75 when you need the earlier slot and we have one. Spring reopen is $175 / $150 / $129. Winterize + reopen bundles are $349 / $299 / $249. Materials we buy are cost plus 35%. What is not included: repairs we find (quoted separately), mold or water remediation, occupied-unit comfort heat above the vacant setpoint, and a promise the building stays freeze-proof if heat is changed later. The full table, exclusions, and Sept–Nov CTA live on the vacant winterization page. Quotes are free. Call or text (765) 551-7368 and write “winterize” plus the unit count.

Shut the water if you can reach the main or the fixture stops without walking through live electricity. Kill power to a wet room at the breaker if the floor is standing and you can do it from a dry panel. Catch what you can with towels. Then get out of the wet and call. A Lafayette freeze-burst is usually a vacant, a poorly heated crawl, or a line in an exterior wall after a cold night. The first job is stop the water. The second is dry. The third is the rebuild. Photograph the wet area for your file before everything is torn out — that is for your insurance claim, not ours. We are not the insurance adjuster. We do not file the claim and we do not promise the carrier will pay. We stabilize, extract, and leave photos, a scope, and moisture notes you can attach. Details sit on the storm water damage page. If the job becomes mold or a longer dry-out, continue on water and mold remediation. Call or text (765) 551-7368 while it is still wet. Quotes are free. Same-day and next-day when we have a crew, with the locked urgency add-ons — not a 24-hour guarantee. Mold can begin in 24–48 hours in wet insulation and drywall paper. That is moisture science, not a service promise.
