When it comes to rental property maintenance, the adage “out of sight, out of mind” often holds true. Key systems in rental homes are often out of sight, which can result in neglected maintenance.
Water Heaters
In contrast, routine maintenance of these less visible parts is as essential as that of the more obvious ones. Take a hot water heater, for instance; it can work properly for years and is often overlooked. Eventually, sediment can build up in the bottom, causing rust and other complications.
Consequently, regularly flushing the hot water heater is important for its proper operation. By flushing it, you can prevent costly repairs or the need for a new heater, extending your investment’s lifespan.
Sewer Lines
Along with making sure there’s plenty of hot water, you should also keep the sewer line clear. A backed-up sink, tub, or drain is the last thing anyone wants. 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 heating and cooling system is another frequently neglected maintenance aspect. Yearly maintenance of the air conditioning unit and furnace, along with cleaning every duct and vent, is crucial. Dust and pollutants accumulating in ductwork can decrease efficiency and expose tenants to allergens.
Well-maintained systems help keep your rental property occupied and tenants pleased. Maintained systems typically require less repair, saving you significant money later.
