The old saying “out of sight, out of mind” is often true for rental property maintenance. Many crucial systems in a rental home are hidden from view, often leading to overlooked maintenance.
Water Heaters
On the flip side, caring for these unnoticed aspects is as vital as attending to the noticeable ones. For example, a hot water heater can function well for years and often gets taken for granted. Over time, though, sediment can accumulate at the bottom, leading to rust and other issues.
Hence, it’s crucial to flush out the hot water heater regularly for proper function. By flushing it, you can prevent costly repairs or the need for a new heater, extending your investment’s lifespan.
Sewer Lines
In addition to maintaining a supply of hot water, you should ensure your sewer line is unobstructed. The least desirable situation is a backed-up sink, tub, or drain. Even though it’s often neglected, having your main sewer line inspected regularly is essential to avoid drainage problems later.
Heating and Cooling Systems
The property’s heating and cooling system is another aspect that is often forgotten. In addition to annual maintenance of the AC unit and furnace, it’s crucial to clean all ducts and vents. Dust and pollutants can build up in the ductwork, lowering efficiency and exposing tenants to allergens.
Efficient systems ensure your rental property remains occupied and tenants are content. Regular maintenance leads to fewer repairs for systems, saving you money in the future.
