Home sellers do the best they can to transform a house into a better one that can sell easily to the right home seekers. One of the steps they can do this is by cleaning a home inside and out before opening it up to the public market. This is one of the most basic requirements before further developments can be done. It also goes both ways because people who are looking into different homes check this criterion first before anything else. Besides, who would want to move to a house that is not well-kept? However, though this is an essential step, there are still some essential areas that are often overlooked by home sellers. If you are one, make sure to include some of these on your list.
Hidden Areas
In every home, some areas do not get opened as often as it should because of the knowledge that nothing good can ever come out of it. For example, cupboards, cabinets, and storages that are built in some of the most hidden parts of the house. Even the areas where the backend system of the house is placed are often overlooked. Do not forget to look into the pipes, wirings, and other places where similar things are located. They would need cleaning out and improvement if necessary. But this cannot be done without the help of professionals who can assess the current situation of these things. Pipes, for example, need to be assessed to see if there are clogs or growth of pests. It is better to make sure they are working before people start looking into them. You wouldn’t want cockroaches and bad smell coming from these places when you have potential clients looking over the house with you. Even the outside can hide things that need cleaning. It can include your garage, your old treehouse, or the forgotten storage boxes from ages ago. Check even the surroundings and leave no stone unturned.
Septic Tank
People tend to only see the problems that are in front of them without looking for problems that are kept from plain sight. One of the crucial but mostly forgotten aspects is the drainage of the septic tank. This is a no brainer because it should be a part of emptying a house in preparation for its new owners. A lot of problems can be addressed if you do this including toilets that are not working well, overflowing tanks, slow drainage, and even bad smell coming from somewhere in the house. It is easy to forget that these exist but one thing you can do is to employ your local septic tank pumping professionals to get the help you need. They can also help you with scheduling the next clean up. This part of the house is very technical that you wouldn’t be able to handle it yourself. First, it would require special equipment, and most importantly, it would be difficult to contain the content and dispose of it after. So, the best way to handle it is to leave it in the hands of the experts.
Mildew and Molds
It is easy to address mildew and molds, especially if there is already growing in the house. Green and black patches of mold can easily be detected, but their source could be difficult to locate. It is tempting to go get wipes to clean this off, but it is not as simple. Mildew and molds are just signs of a bigger problem. It could mean that spores are already in the air and it could be affecting the air quality of the house. These particles tend to grow in moist, warm, and often dark places. It can be prevented by improving ventilation and light exposure, both important cues for renovation later on. DIY solutions can be made but reoccurrence is highly possible unless professional cleaners do the job using their highly specialized equipment and powerful solutions. When investigating mold buildup, check the surroundings for possible leakages and clogged drainage. They can be causing the extra moisture in the air. The bathroom and the kitchen tend to get affected by molds and mildew the most. Keep these areas dry and clean as possible.
The success of every home seller lies in how well they can manage the needs and problems of the house they are selling. You would need to ensure that the house is beautiful, tidy, and clean. To make this possible, you should take every inch under scrutiny and not let anything be unturned.
