When leaving on vacation or a business trip, many of us worry about what we may leave behind.
And it's not even about the theft of household appliances - sometimes a pipe can burst in an apartment. No one is immune from an accident.
How can you secure your home during a long stay at your dacha or at the seaside?
Let's look into this issue in more detail.
What advice do seasoned travelers give?
Here are the recommendations.
- Turn off the water. This will prevent a leak that could cause flooding for your neighbors.
- Unplug all electrical appliances. The refrigerator is an exception, of course. Unplugging other appliances will prevent a short circuit.
- Remove your phone charger from the socket. It may be damaged or catch fire due to power surges.
- Close the curtains tightly. The sun's rays will not penetrate the room. Ultraviolet radiation can damage the upholstery of the sofa, books and other property.
- Close the windows tightly. A storm or heavy rain may occur.
