The saying “out of sight, out of mind” frequently applies to rental property maintenance. Many vital systems in a rental home are unseen, and their maintenance is often forgotten.
Water Heaters
Conversely, regular maintenance of these hidden elements is just as important as that of the visible ones. Take a hot water heater, for instance; it can work properly for years and is often overlooked. Over time, water sediment can gather at the bottom, resulting in rust and other problems.
Consequently, regularly flushing the hot water heater is important for its proper operation. This helps prevent expensive repairs or the need for a replacement, ensuring your investment lasts.
Sewer Lines
Along with making sure there’s plenty of hot water, you should also keep the sewer line clear. The least desirable situation is a backed-up sink, tub, or drain. Although often disregarded, it’s essential to regularly check your main sewer line to prevent future drainage issues.
Heating and Cooling Systems
Another commonly forgotten maintenance area is the property’s HVAC system. Along with maintaining the AC and furnace annually, it’s important to clean every duct and vent. Dust and pollutants in the ductwork can reduce system efficiency and expose tenants to allergens.
Keeping systems in good working order ensures your rental property stays occupied and tenants are happy. Fewer repairs are needed for well-maintained systems, which saves you money down the line.
