Opening and light restart of a home in the district of Visp

DomusHelp helps organize practical support to open, air and very lightly restart a home before a return, after an absence, a temporary stay elsewhere, holidays or a period during which the home has remained closed in the district of Visp and Upper Valais. This subcategory concerns simple tasks: opening with an authorized key, airing briefly, opening shutters or curtains, checking the visible condition of the home, switching on ordinary lighting, following a simple heating or ventilation instruction already planned, preparing passages and reporting any anomaly. The interventions must remain simple, non-medical, non-emergency, without forced opening, without technical intervention, without autonomous security management and always based on clear authorization from the person concerned or their authorized representative.

What this help covers

This help may concern a gentle return of presence to the home: opening the door with a key that has been entrusted and authorized, opening a few windows for short airing, opening or closing shutters according to instructions, switching on simple lighting, visually checking the entrance, main rooms, floors, windows, visible taps, abnormal smells, signs of leakage, signs of intrusion or elements that have obviously been moved. It may also include placing a few useful objects within reach, clearing an immediate passage, checking that an ordinary household appliance appears ready for use without dismantling it or adjusting it technically, following a small checklist provided in advance or passing on a clear description to a relative, building manager, owner or competent professional. The aim is to make the return simpler, quickly identify what appears abnormal and avoid a vulnerable person discovering alone a cold, closed, cluttered or potentially problematic home.

Entering a home is a sensitive act: keys, codes, alarm, private objects, documents, mail, medication, personal data, animals, photos and access to rooms must be strictly defined. DomusHelp does not replace a locksmith, building manager, owner, security company, cleaning service, electrician, plumber, heating specialist, alarm specialist, insurance expert or emergency service. In case of a forced door, signs of burglary, water leak, smell of gas, smell of burning, electrical danger, unknown alarm, broken window, failed heating, animal in distress, flooded home, suspicious presence or immediate danger, the intervention must not continue: the responsible person, the building manager, the owner, a qualified professional or emergency services must be contacted depending on the situation. DomusHelp does not certify the safety of the home, does not guarantee the absence of damage and must not be used to bypass an authorization, a tenancy dispute, a family conflict or an official procedure.

Preferred providers

Insured practical and logistical support service

Before the intervention

  • Confirm the clear authorization to enter the home, the identity of the responsible person, the method for handing over the key, any codes and the contact to notify in case of a problem.
  • Define precisely the accessible rooms, authorized actions, times, what must be opened, aired, closed again, switched on, observed or simply reported.
  • Specify the possible presence of an alarm, animals, fragile objects, private rooms, confidential documents, mail, medication or personal belongings that must not be touched.
  • Check whether the home is rented, in co-ownership, managed by a building manager or subject to specific rules concerning access, keys, shared areas or installations.
  • Prepare a simple checklist: windows, shutters, lighting, desired temperature, clear passage, final closing, return of the key and confirmation message.
  • Refuse any intervention if consent is not clear, if access appears forced, if an unknown alarm is active, if there is a smell of gas or burning, if a leak exists, if the floor is dangerous or if immediate safety is not assured.
