3. Maintaining
Waterfront
Homes
Waterfront property is appealing to homebuyers for a variety of
reasons, but it also comes with extra maintenance and preparation
than homes farther from the water. Using biodegradable cleaning
products in waterfront homes prevents polluted runoff while
cleaning the house thoroughly, keeping the water safe and clean.
Waterfront homes are also at a higher risk for water damage.
Keeping windows and doors sealed and storing valuables in
waterproof containers while traveling prevents moist air from
getting inside and protects household items in case water gets into
the home.
4. Maintaining
Waterfront
Homes
Monitoring the humidity is another important part of maintaining a
waterfront home.Waterfront homes take in more
humidity, especially during summer, causing paint to peel and
mildew and mold to grow. Having dehumidifiers on every floor and
installing exhaust fans keep humidity out of the home, allowing for
better air circulation and a longer lifespan for the home.
Further, outdoor and indoor furniture require additional protection
in waterfront homes due to the additional moisture.
