🏡 WHEN A HOME SITS EMPTY: THE INSURANCE RISKS MANY CANADIANS OVERLOOK

Did you know that in 2024, Canadian property and casualty insurers rejected 104,301 claims because of policy exclusions, while another 84,339 claims were denied because the losses weren’t covered?

These figures include multiple types of insurance claims, not just vacant homes. But they highlight an important reality:

Having insurance doesn’t mean every type of damage is automatically covered.

And for homeowners with vacant properties, seasonal cottages or investment properties, understanding the conditions of their coverage is especially important.

A recent 2026 TD Insurance survey revealed some surprising findings:

📊 Only 15% of Canadians surveyed said they would check their insurance policy requirements before leaving a property unattended.

📊 Only 7% said they would notify their insurance company.

📊 62% of seasonal or secondary property owners who had left a property unattended reported experiencing a property issue while away.

So what happens if something goes wrong?

Imagine leaving a property unattended through a Newfoundland winter.

The heating system fails, pipes freeze and burst, or water begins leaking into the home.

Days or weeks pass before anyone discovers the damage.

Depending on the insurance policy, the circumstances and whether required precautions were followed, the homeowner could face reduced coverage or a denied claim.

This isn’t just a hypothetical concern.

In a Nova Scotia court case, Halifax Insurance Co. v. Killick, an insurer successfully pursued recovery involving damage from frozen plumbing at a vacant property. The homeowners had failed to arrange adequate inspections and drain the water system.

The important takeaway?

If you own a property that will be sitting empty, especially throughout the winter, take a few minutes to contact your insurance provider.

Ask what your policy requires regarding property inspections, heating, plumbing and extended absences.

And keep records of any inspections that are completed.

Because sometimes the biggest financial risk isn’t simply what goes wrong with a property.

It’s discovering too late that your insurance policy doesn’t cover what happened.

🍁 A little awareness today could help prevent an expensive surprise tomorrow.

🍂 MAKING ROOM FOR WHAT’S NEXT! 🏡

With the colder months approaching, we’ve noticed more homeowners reaching out for help preparing their basements, attics and sheds for winter renovations, particularly spray foam insulation.

And that’s where HEWI’S Property Services comes in!

Here’s a little look at one of our recent projects. Our goal was to create a cleaner, more organized and accessible basement while getting the space ready for the insulation contractors.

What did that involve?

🍁 Organizing and stacking storage totes by season and frequency of use.

🍁 Creating clear walking paths so homeowners can easily access their belongings.

🍁 Moving stored items approximately 2–3 feet away from exterior walls to help prepare for insulation installation, subject to the contractor’s requirements.

🍁 Removing dust, debris and excessive cobwebs to provide a cleaner working environment.

Whether you’re getting ready for renovations, reclaiming some much-needed storage space or simply tackling that basement you’ve been putting off, we’re happy to lend a hand!

Not sure where to start? That’s what we’re here for.

Every home is different, and we’ll work with you to develop a plan that suits your property, priorities and budget.

🍁 Fully insured and bondable

🏠 Your property. Our problem to solve.

At HEWI’S Property Services, we’re here for the jobs that don’t always fit neatly into one category.

A repair that needs coordinating.
A property that needs checking while you’re away.
A home that needs a fresh coat of paint.
An estate that needs sorting out.
A short-term rental or B&B that needs reliable hands on the ground.

Sometimes you need a cleaner. Sometimes you need a contractor. Sometimes you need someone to simply figure out what needs to happen next and make it happen.

That’s where we come in.

We provide property maintenance, cleaning, painting & interior finishing, property checks, winterization, estate & executor support, trade coordination, and short-term rental & B&B management.

One point of contact. Less running around. More peace of mind.

What people don’t always see behind a small business… ❤️

A fellow local cleaning company shared a post today about the realities of running a small business, and it really resonated with us.

As a small business ourselves, we understand exactly what she was talking about.

And honestly, we love seeing other small businesses talk openly about these things.

We’re also big believers in supporting other local businesses — including other cleaning companies. There’s room for all of us, and we genuinely believe that when small businesses support one another, the whole community benefits. ❤️

But there’s a side of running a small business that customers don’t always get to see.

People see the bookings.
They see the finished homes.
They see the before-and-afters, the happy clients and the posts we share.

What they don’t always see is everything happening behind the scenes to keep a small business running.

Every job has costs attached to it.

There’s fuel, cleaning supplies, equipment, insurance, taxes, payroll, scheduling, administration, travel time and countless other expenses that come out before a business actually gets to keep anything.

And when you have a team, it matters even more.

The people who work with us depend on this business too. They show up, work hard and take pride in providing the very best service they can for our clients. ❤️

So when a last-minute cancellation happens, a payment is significantly delayed, or an invoice goes unpaid, it doesn’t simply affect a number on a spreadsheet.

It can affect payroll.
It can affect bills and operating expenses.
It can affect our ability to schedule our team.
And sometimes, it can have a ripple effect throughout the business.

We absolutely understand that life happens. Things come up. Plans change. We’re people too, and we understand that.

But the reality is that small businesses don’t have the same financial cushion as larger companies.

A cancellation or late payment that might seem small from the outside can have a very real impact on the people behind the business.

That’s why policies around cancellations, scheduling and payment aren’t about being difficult or nickel-and-diming anyone.

They’re about creating a sustainable business that allows us to keep providing reliable services, pay our team fairly and continue serving our community.

And this applies to every small business — not just us.

Your cleaner.
Your hairdresser.
Your mechanic.
Your photographer.
Your landscaper.
Your local shop owner.
The person running a little business from their kitchen table.

When you support a small business, you’re supporting a real person and often a whole family or team behind it.

So if you have a small business you love, book with them, pay your invoices on time, respect their cancellation policies, recommend them, share their posts and tell your friends about them.

Those little things genuinely matter.

And to all of our HEWI’S clients — thank you. ❤️

Thank you for trusting us with your homes and properties, for recommending us, sharing our posts, and supporting what we’re building here in Newfoundland.

We appreciate you more than you know.

It’s been a busy Labor Day Monday out and about with HEWI’S Property Services.

Today has been a mix of property assessments, checking in on work sites, and visiting properties where our crews are helping with organizational and preparation work ahead of upcoming home projects and renovations.

It’s one of the things I really enjoy about this business — no two days look quite the same, and we get to work in some truly beautiful parts of Newfoundland along the way.

Our Property Check service has also had a great response over the past couple of weeks, and our assessment schedule is filling up quickly.

We still have a few openings available for mid-to-late September property assessments, with many of our seasonal property-check agreements beginning in October and continuing through the winter.

Property Checks start at $49.99 + HST per check in our immediate service area, and agreements can be tailored based on the property and the level of support each client needs.

If you’ve been considering property checks, seasonal support, property preparation, or simply need help getting a space ready for what comes next, now is a good time to reach out.

And spending Labor Day doing this kind of work feels especially fitting — helping people care for their properties, prepare for the season ahead, and keep things moving.

September has flown by, and we’re heading into October with a few openings still available. 🍂

Our Fall Home Refresh starts at $149.99 + HST and is a simple seasonal reset for the areas that tend to need it most — kitchens, bathrooms, floors, high-traffic areas, surfaces and general tidying.

Because real homes have kids, pets, muddy boots and busy weeks. Sometimes you just need a hand getting everything feeling fresh again. ❤️

We also have limited October availability for deep cleans, biweekly cleaning, monthly cleaning and select property services.

Thanksgiving is for a full table, a warm kitchen, and a house full of people — not spending the whole weekend trying to get everything cleaned before they arrive. 🍂

Whether you’d like a hand getting the house ready before Thanksgiving dinner, or you’d rather leave the aftermath to someone else once everyone’s gone home, HEWI’S is booking a limited number of pre- and post-Thanksgiving cleans.

We can help with the kitchen, bathrooms, floors, dusting, tidying and the general reset that makes the whole house feel put back together again.

Because around here, Thanksgiving can mean a lot of cooking, a lot of dishes, a few extra pairs of boots by the door — and hopefully a little time left to actually sit down and enjoy it. ❤️
