Moving Home
Step 1:
First, ensure you're secured from Day 1. Well before your move call ADT and tell us about your impending move and where you're moving to. If we have a presence in your area or neighbourhood (as the largest security company in every major centre we should have!) we'll give you a free security assessment and quote, depending on your new home's needs.
Step 2:
Remember, when you move, you may still have a contract obligation with ADT. If you have a contract at your existing address, you can negotiate with ADT to terminate your contract if you sign a new contract at your new address. It may also assist if the person buying your home takes over your security equipment and signs a contract with ADT.
Step 3
When you move, there'll always be a lot of strangers in and around your home, like movers, builders, painters, electricians, and others. Be extra watchful. Be around when they are. If possible, get friends around to help you and be there on moving day.
Step 4:
Jewellery and other valuables. Rare and valuable items such as jewellery and cameras should be kept,as far as possible, totally out of sight. Pack these separately and lock them away at a trusted relative or friend's house until the move is over.
Step 5:
Important documents and ID's - These items should also be packed and kept separately, preferably at a trusted relative or a friend's house until the move is over.
Step 6:
Depending on your needs, you may wish to hire a guard at either your old house, new house or both on moving day. This will deter opportunistic theft which occurs all too often. Call ADT for more information about our residential guarding services.
