Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a cottage opening service?

Our cottage opening service includes reconnecting water supply lines, inspecting and flushing the plumbing system, testing fixtures for leaks or issues, and ensuring the water heater and other systems are operational. We also perform a general inspection to identify any winter-related damages.

How soon should I schedule a cottage opening before I plan to arrive?

We recommend scheduling your cottage opening at least two weeks before your planned arrival. This allows us to thoroughly prepare your cottage's plumbing system and address any issues that may have developed over the winter.

Can you assist if we discover plumbing issues after the cottage opening?

Yes, absolutely. If any issues arise or you notice any plumbing concerns after your arrival, our team can return for repairs or maintenance as needed. We prioritize quick response times to help you settle in comfortably.

What is a cottage closing service?

Our cottage closing service involves draining and winterizing all plumbing systems, disconnecting water supply lines, adding antifreeze to drains, and performing a thorough inspection to ensure pipes are protected from freezing temperatures.

When is the best time to close my cottage for the season?

Timing can vary depending on the weather, but generally, we recommend scheduling your cottage closing in early to mid-fall. This helps prevent any potential damage from early freezes, ensuring your plumbing is protected through winter.

Can you handle other winterization tasks during the cottage closing?

Yes, along with plumbing winterization, we can provide additional services like HVAC Annual Maintenance. Please let us know your needs in advance, and we’ll customize the service to prepare your cottage for winter.
