The old saying “out of sight, out of mind” is often true for rental property maintenance. Essential systems that make up a rental home are often concealed, and their maintenance is frequently neglected.
Water Heaters
However, maintaining these unseen components is equally crucial as maintaining the visible ones. Take a hot water heater, for instance; it can work properly for years and is often overlooked. Over time, though, sediment can accumulate at the bottom, leading to rust and other issues.
Thus, regularly flushing a hot water heater is essential to ensure proper operation. 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 having plenty of hot water, it’s important to ensure your sewer line is clear. 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
Another often overlooked maintenance task is the heating and cooling system of the property. Yearly maintenance of the air conditioning unit and furnace, along with cleaning every duct and vent, is crucial. Dust and pollutants in the ductwork can reduce system efficiency and expose tenants to allergens.
Efficient systems ensure your rental property remains occupied and tenants are content. Fewer repairs are needed for well-maintained systems, which saves you money down the line.
