When it comes to rental property maintenance, the adage “out of sight, out of mind” often holds true. Essential systems that make up a rental home are often concealed, and their maintenance is frequently neglected.
Water Heaters
On the flip side, caring for these unnoticed aspects is as vital as attending to the noticeable ones. Consider a hot water heater that works well for years and may go unnoticed. 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. This can help you avoid expensive repairs or a new water heater, ensuring your investment lasts longer.
Sewer Lines
In addition to maintaining a supply of hot water, you should ensure your sewer line is unobstructed. No one wants to deal with a backed-up sink, tub, or drain. Regular inspection of your main sewer line, despite being frequently overlooked, is vital for avoiding drainage problems.
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.
