While you are doing that maintenance, it pays to look for things like water stains that could indicate a pipe leak, or a leaky roof.

We are addressing the source of the issue, which seems to be blocked weep holes, high brush piled around the periphery of the home, possibly prior leaky kitchen pipes and some holes in the brick. 

Your umbrella typically applies when the liability on your underlying policy is exhausted.

You wont even find a single family at that price in 85257 anymore.Had to pipe in to stop the misinformation.

Also do you know why the pipes froze? 

You just have to make sure you calculate the funds so that you can try and exhaust all of the money from the sale into the new purchase or what it called the "Boot" when you do a 1031 Exchange.Keep in mind one of the loopholes is you can sell a property and put the profits back into another home using it for both down payment and closing costs. 

Hi Sipan, you may want to consult with a licensed home inspector regarding the need to replace PEX plumbing (mentioned in your post), as the Sacramento Disclosures and Disclaimers Advisory specifically mentions Kitec manufactured pipe, and does not state that all PEX piping is of concern: 14.

My concern is the pipes possibly freezing?

I want to learn how to run new piping anyway.  

We exhausted the details and realized there was no reason not to do so.
