The saying “out of sight, out of mind” frequently applies to rental property maintenance. Key systems in rental homes are often out of sight, which can result in neglected maintenance.
Water Heaters
Alternatively, the upkeep of these hidden elements is just as critical as that of the more apparent ones. An example is a hot water heater, which can run smoothly for years and be taken for granted. With time, sediment can settle at the bottom, causing rust and various problems.
This is why regularly flushing a hot water heater is vital to keep it working well. This can help you avoid expensive repairs or a new water heater, ensuring your investment lasts longer.
Sewer Lines
Besides guaranteeing plenty of hot water, you must ensure the sewer line is clear. A backed-up sink, tub, or drain is something nobody wants to face. Checking your main sewer line regularly, although often ignored, is key to preventing future drainage issues.
Heating and Cooling Systems
Another maintenance task that is repeatedly neglected is the property’s heating and cooling system. Yearly maintenance of the air conditioning unit and furnace, along with cleaning every duct and vent, is crucial. Dust and pollutants that collect in ductwork can reduce efficiency and increase tenants’ exposure to allergens.
Well-maintained systems help keep your rental property occupied and tenants pleased. Well-maintained systems require fewer repairs, saving you money in the long run.
