Tips for Moving Into a New House in 2019

So, you have purchased your dream house in OKC and settled into it. You’re adding all the little special touches that will turn this house into your home, which is all well and good. But in all this excitement, is there something you’re missing? Well, we at Crestone Ridge have put together this helpful list of considerations for moving into a new house. They will hopefully help you avoid mistakes and do things as they’re meant to be done.

Know Where The Water Shut-Off Valve Is Located

While a well-designed, custom home OKC with high-grade installations won’t throw problems anytime soon, it’s important to know where the main water shut-off valve is. In case of a sudden plumbing emergency, like a burst pipe etc. you would be able to quickly shut-off the valve. A burst pipe can lead to water flooding and features such as the flooring, walls and ceiling etc. can become damaged irrevocably. But if everyone in your home knows where the main shut-off valve is located, you can prevent this damage from occurring.

Be Careful When Drilling Into Walls

When you move into a new home, it’s obvious that you’d want to hang artwork, closet systems, wall hooks, rods, and shelves etc. But installations such as wiring, cables, duct work and pipes are behind the walls and unplanned drilling can damage these features. The best way to avoid this problem is to buy an inexpensive battery-operated tool called a stud sensor. It easily detects density changes and helps you identify where the ducts, cables and studs are.

These are just some of the things to keep in view when you move into your custom home OKC. For information about our latest projects, call Crestone Ridge (405) 204-0678. You can also send us your queries via this Contact Us form.
